Guided Practice

“Learn the Course with me — slowly, clearly, and with structure.”

Guided Coaching is the first level of applied learning.

After you complete a Course (Fundamental, Blues, or Rhythm Changes),

Guided Coaching helps you learn the Course with me in a structured, biweekly format.

Many students watch the Course and feel they “understand” it,

but real jazz guitar playing comes from application, correction, and repetition.

Guided Coaching is designed to turn what you learned in the Course

into actual playing skills through steady direction and feedback.

What We Do Together

✔ Biweekly 30-min Coaching Calls (4 total)

We revisit the Course material together—slowly and clearly.

You’ll learn how to apply the harmony, finger mechanics, voicing shapes,

and diagonal thinking from the Course in real playing situations.

This is not new content;

this is Course content mastered together with me.

⸻

✔ Biweekly Recorded Performance Reviews (4 total)

You submit short clips based on the Course exercises.

I evaluate whether you’re applying the concepts correctly:

• Are the voicings connecting the right way?

• Does your phrasing match the harmonic movement you learned?

• Are you playing the diagonal shapes with clarity?

• What should your next two weeks focus on?

⸻

Who This Is For

• Students who understand the Course but want help applying it

• Students who do well with structure but not with weekly intensity

• Students who improve quickly once the direction is clear

⸻

In One Sentence:

Guided Coaching is where you re-learn the Course with me —

slowly, clearly, and structurally — until it becomes real playing.
