it´s going to be so much fun! looking forward to working on chord melody arrangments together.

keep on practicing

Tina

If you’re still sitting down to practice and thinking
“what should I even work on today?”

…this is exactly why I made this.

There’s so much material out there.
And honestly, it can keep you stuck for years.

Not because you’re lazy.
But because you don’t have a clear system.

👉 I put together a simple, structured way to practice —
based on what actually works (from years of playing and teaching).

We start soon.
Small group. No fluff.

P.s. if you are brand new to jazz guitar start with my short beginners course

A page with musical instructions on guitar chords. It includes a musical staff with notes and a guitar tab for the C major 7 chord, along with diagrams of the chord fingerings on the guitar fretboard.

Dear friends,

today I’m very excited (and honestly a little emotional) to finally share something with you.
Almost 30 years ago, when I was a young jazz guitarist, I bought a book that completely changed the way I looked at harmony and guitar playing:

“Joe Pass Guitar Style.”

At that time, I understood only parts of it.
But something about this book stayed with me all these years.
And now – after teaching, playing, studying, experimenting, and coming back to these ideas again and again – everything suddenly started to fall into place.

Over the last months I have been working very intensively on a new project:

✨ Joe Pass – Guitar Style | Practice Studies (Pages 1–7) ✨

This is not just another worksheet. It is the result of almost 30 years of living with this music.
In this workbook (45 pages!) I collected:

-the ideas that helped me really understand Joe Pass’ harmony

-practical reharmonization concepts

-voice leading tricks that suddenly make sense

-and exercises I actually use with my own students

The goal is simple:
👉 to help you make the most out of Joe Pass’ harmonic language
👉 and to really APPLY it on the guitar.

This project means a lot to me.
It grew out of a journey that began 30 years ago with one book and continues to open new perspectives and ideas.

If you love Joe Pass, reharmonization, and deep harmony work, I think you will really enjoy this.

Thank you so much for being part of this journey and for all your support over the years 💛
I truly couldn’t have done this without you.

With love and lots of music,
Tina 🎸

P.S. If you have any questions about the material or how to use it in your practice, just write me – I’m very happy to help 😊

P.P.S. this book works without the Joe Pass Guitar Style book too...but i think it´s the most fun to scan the original and work through my practice studies at the same time
