High Quality Jazz Guitar Lessons and Information, No More than a Click Away
In April 2012 launched Jamie Holroyd Guitar, an online teaching website aimed at providing high quality jazz guitar lessons to students across the globe. Although the site has only being online just under one month it has already received more than 2,000 visits from over 60 different countries and just fewer than 200 email subscribers. Jamie Holroyd has written most of the articles, but the site has featured guest posts from acclaimed jazz educator and author Matt Warnock and Just Jazz Guitar contributor Sam Smiley.
“My aim is to help students everywhere learn the art of jazz guitar,” said Jamie Holroyd. “I noticed that there can be confusion with learning jazz on the internet and wanted to demystify the complex aspects into digestible chunks for students.”
