All About Jazz Guitar

Steven Crowell, Jazz Guitarist

     Born in Oakland, California, Steve Crowell began teaching and playing guitar full time in 1964. While raising a family, he continued to pursue formal music studies, including advanced and twentieth century harmony courses, and two years of private study with jazz guitar legend, Warren Nunes. In 1972, Mr. Crowell received his certification and teaching credential from the State of California.
     In 1979 Steve published the first volume of his guitar instruction course, based upon his unique performing and educational experiences. This was met with critical acclaim (Guitar Player magazine calls Steve's work "some of the best"), and has evolved into a four-year college level jazz guitar course, which has become a top worldwide seller.
     Over the years, Steve has performed at venues from the finest dinner houses playing elegant solo guitar, to night clubs, show rooms and jazz festivals. He has worked with the top names in show business, including, George Burns, Bob Newhart, The Coasters, The Diamonds, seven years on the road with jazz pianist, Big Tiny Little, and in films with Tommy Lee Jones (Cobb), and Whoopie Goldberg (Sister Act).

Testimonials:

 The SDM (Self Development in Music) Four-Year Jazz Guitar Course
"I've been playing for 35 years, taken private lessons, attended M.I.T. and I own a substantial library of instructional books.  Steve's method is more effective than anything I've experienced. His lessons are laid out in an easy-to-consume manner, fed to you in small pieces that you can actually digest and enjoy right away."

The UltraPick
"Got the Ultra Pick today and love it. I don't see any better way of making sure you don't pick too deep and to make sweep picking easier than with your design. I did use a teardrop also, but as you said they do tend to drop and rotate in your fingers during the playing. At one point may need to buy from you a life long supply."

The Premium Lesson One-Year Online Seminar:
 
"...Even better than expected!  This first lesson has answered a lot of questions.  Simply amazing, Steve! Well today I checked everything in The Girl From Ipanema [Bonus solo] against the 84 Jazz Guitar Equations [book] and it absolutely shot me over the top.  Truly it is a labor of love!"

REDWOOD GUITAR SEMINAR
"What a perfect setting for a jazz guitar seminar. From the crisp morning air in the Redwood forest to the lazy sunshine in the afternoon the weather was perfect. Add that to the camaraderie of being with Steve Crowell and fellow guitar-lovers in a relaxed, intense learning environment, it doesn't get any better."
GLENN BETCHER, DEARBORN MI
