Wolf is truly one of the world’s great educators and player of the guitar! I’ve been lucky enough to study with him and I highly suggest digging into this course.
My first jazz album in Feb 1986 was Togethering by Kenny Burrell and Grover Washington Jr. It still ranks near the top of my list of favorite albums. On that one album, Grover was the equal of the most storied horn players, and Kenny's tone was perfect. Jack Dejohnette and Ralph McDonald were bubbling under! Perfection!
I started playing blues rock as a teenager back in the late 80s and remember seeing Wolf's name regularly in the guitar magazines and hearing other guitarists at school talking about his instructional videos on VHS, which they found very useful. Great to see that he's a serious jazzer too.
Wolf always covers all the bases! This is the best presentation of jazz guitar ever, delivered in a digestible form, without going down obscure academic rabbit-hole explanations. As mentioned in this interview, the material in each chapter is stand-alone, so you can focus on whatever is most relevant to your current musical situation, and immediately find new and different ways to improve your jazz chord or improvising vocabulary. There is a link in the book to recorded tracks so that you can hear what the licks sound like. Plus the recorded tracks can easily be slowed down or looped. Another nice feature is that the licks and scale examples are written both in standard music notation and tablature. Wow! This book is like getting a full year of jazz guitar lessons from a master teacher.
H.R. my favorite jazz guitar player. He had the greatest sound and he was funky. As I recall Wolf purchased H.R.'s black guitar. I wonder what Wolf thinks of it?
Yep I remember in the guitar magazines back in the early early 80’s when I started strumming….I wished I would have paid attention to him back then….I’d probably be a better player! Good job Bob….thanks!
Top 5 jazz guitar lp’s and the interviewer said “you can’t do better than that.” Yes you can, Lenny Breau, who could actually play ANY STYLE of music known to mankind. And all 5 of the players would tell you that, why is he still ignored!
Miles Davis might disagree So would Julian Lage Both who went to music school to increase their knowledge But what would they know? They should’ve just relied upon their ears and forget that books and multiple instruments aren’t the way to go…..
Because Miles Davis magically understood Modal Jazz right before he recorded “Kind of Blue” No he had to be taught it. And I guarantee his ear was much better than any of ours.
Very unprofessional interviewer as he always interrupts the line of thought of the guest - who is obviously both the subject and object of the interview. At the beginning he didn’t let elaborate on his earlier publications. It seems to be collective consciousness of current US interviewing methods where they (no disrespect) think they are equally or more important than the guest. Shame really as I wanted to hear more in depth reasoning from Wolf Marshall.

@@Leo_prado Because no one can copy him😂
you dont need books , you dont need a guitar collection - just your ears and the will
So glad that works for you. I suppose if my Elementary School taught me Ear Training when I was 10 years old that might work for me too.

Miles Davis might disagree
So would Julian Lage
Both who went to music school to increase their knowledge
But what would they know?
They should’ve just relied upon their ears and forget that books and multiple instruments aren’t the way to go…..

No he had to be taught it. And I guarantee his ear was much better than any of ours.
Coltrane went to music school.
