What’s it about?
Jake Willson’s Masterclass builds reliable, adaptable and musical techniques so that you have the tools for a range of musical settings. Whether you’re improvising or composing, you’ll have the skill set to deliver.
His ideas are clearly laid out in the in-depth study guide, as well as six in-depth video lessons which cover; how to sit, picking concepts, and tactics for your fretting hand. These are put into practice with both licks and exercises and given further context solos which cover straight and swing feel.
Having a solid technique is great and being able to apply it is better. But being able to use techniques at the right time, and combine them seamlessly, is what helps players step up to the next level, and this Masterclass contains all the tricks of the trade needed to do it.
