In this class Prof. Sher will share essential information about the chord voicings, rhythms, and repetoire of these styles. It's definitely a participation class!

Masterclass at Berklee Valencia Campus
Here are a few moments from a guitar masterclass I taught at the Berklee College of Music program in Valencia Spain. I always start my masterclasses with a little information on my concepts about blues, and blues scale fingerings in particular. Then we of course got into some hip jazz lines.
