Once, but not just one time, every time in his Wes Montgomery Lab class, Richie Hart asked the students how many tunes they could play. And surprisingly, no one could raise a hand and count the songs they could play. They were not only jazz students; they were rock, blues, fusion, and all kinds of music players. Then he asked how many semesters they enrolled in Berklee and told them they had wasted $10,000.00 times their semester numbers. For example, if you were in the 5th semester and did not know a single song to play, you wasted $50,000.00 twenty years ago; it would be much more money per semester now.

It Still Rings In My Ears

So, when I started live-streaming on YouTube, I wanted to have my audience build a jazz repertoire. However, it did not work the way I meant because, on YouTube, the audience comes and goes whenever they want to. So, I decided to teach a song in different styles every month and archive them for the audience who found my channel later.

As Peter Bernstein said, everything taught about jazz should connected to the ears; as John Scofield said, play songs and improvise over them, not to mention that Wes said he played songs all day but did not practice. In GT(H)M Live Lecture, I taught every tune how jazz legends learned it; I mastered it from Richie Hart and made a lecture video on my YouTube channel called 'How To Learn Tunes.'

Subscribe? or Live Streaming?

What I wanted was to build a strong jazz guitar community on YouTube. That's why this lecture is only $55.00 per month, and anyone who feels it is worth it can decide to attend every Sunday night's live rather than subscribe to it.

There Are Benefits for Subscribers

Subscribers to the lecture, I offered to download all the PDF files used in the lectures, transcriptions, and notes with my handwriting. Also, the lectures are for you to watch and learn anytime repeatedly. Furthermore, it is just $55.00 for all the invaluable past lectures about the tunes you dreamed of knowing on the guitar: the tunes and the jazz guitarists' transcription.

Better Start Today

Please don't waste time anymore, as my fellow Berklee students did. The answer is right here: you wish anyone could tell you what the legendary jazz guitarists, especially the African American jazz guitarists, were doing on the records, how they were doing, and what they thought while playing those tunes.

Worrying only delays mastery

People were saying they would come back later after studying harmony and theory because they could not understand the words by words I spoke. However, this concept is not taught elsewhere but here, so I recommend listening repeatedly; then, it will come to you.
