About this masterclass
Jay Umble opens his class series on the psychological, philosophical, and methodological side of jazz guitar, sharing insights drawn from 30 years in the music arena. Unlike the standard masterclass approach (put your finger here, play this chord), this is a discussion about the artistic side of music — covering topics that are rarely, if ever, discussed.
Topics include
- Being professional
- Preparing mentally and physically for the gig
- Finding your own voice
- Characteristics of pro players
- Believe in what you do
- If you want to be a good player
- Tightening up jazz standards
- How to work with study materials
For guitarists who want perspective on how to prepare, perform, and grow as a musician — the kind of class that leaves you thinking "why didn't I know this 20 years ago!"

"Psychology, Philosophy & Methodology For The Jazz Guitarist - 1"
Excellent thoughts and ideas on getting better at music and life.
This Master Class fills many gaps for players just starting out or for those whom haven't had a knowledgeable or practical mentor to show them the ropes. Particularly helpful were the segments on " Finding your own voice" and " Characteristics of pro players ". Lots of usable information. Highly recommended. DE
