A Four-Day Exploration of Jazz Guitar Foundations

Discover the pathway to Jazz guitar with Emmy Award winning guitarist and composer, Tim Lerch

A four-day workshop exploring improvisation and comping in Jazz and Blues. Tim will be leading a deep-dive on harmony, fingerboard logic, foundational jazz chords, progressions & substitutions, as well as, creative comping and soloing strategies.

You’ll learn how to add colour to your chord voicings and lots more. Applying the concepts to Tim’s favourite Jazz standards and the Jazz Blues with lots of opportunities to play and jam with Tim too.

The concepts Tim will be discussing will get you on the path to playing and enjoying Jazz guitar, and they will also give stronger foundations, musicianship and knowledge to blues and rock guitarists alike.

This is your opportunity to spend quality time in beautiful surroundings, learning, jamming and hanging with some of today’s great guitarists. We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive, safe space for like-minded musicians to grow and socialise.
