Jazz is an Art Form that has become incredibly broad in the course of the past decades. But from its Offspring in New Orleans to the Modern Fusion genres, one language seams to stand out when we approach players: and that is the Bebop.

Barry Harris has become a symbol of this language: a keeper of this style as some would say. To learn Jazz from his teachings is as close as we can get to learning from Bird, Bud, Dizzy and Monk. As a traditional Jazz player, my whole approach to this music has its foundations in Barry's Theories.

​

I started my career as a classical musician. I graduated both as a classical guitarist and as an expert in early plucked instruments. The core of my technique is a combination of what I learned from my time as classical performer in combination with my experience as a Jazz guitarist. The result is the thorough use of the Hybrid Picking Technique when I'm playing electric guitar with a pick. 

Hybrid Picking Jazz - Unlocking Barry Harris' Scales of Chords was born from my desire to share what I learned through the years with you.
