Roy Swan

Smooth jazz guitar played tastefully in a way that a mixed audience will enjoy. I play restaurants, private parties, wineries & receptions throughout Southern California.

So, here's the deal on guitar lessons. The audience does not want to hear your fancy licks. They don't want to hear your searing scales. They don't want to hear you strum chords. The want to hear a MELODY.

Unfortunately, most players get no training on playing melodies ... and wouldn't even think of trying. Well, that's what this channel & my lessons are all about. Melody !

Learn to play melodies & you can walk on any stage, sit in on any genre, and "fit yourself in". Without knowing the chords. Just by listening, and "filling in the spaces" with a figure here & there. The Blues/Jazz guys called it "call & response". The song (vocalist) makes the call ... you respond. Ping me for lessons via Zoom. Roy
