Jazz Science Guitar Institute

This is an all-inclusive one year program showing how to use "The 84 Jazz Guitar Equations" system to produce superb jazz lines.  Intermediate to advanced players can take at your own pace and enjoy for a lifetime.  Each month you will have an assignment to complete. 

The UltraPick is a state-of-the-art guitar pick designed to meet the technical demands of today's guitarists.   Each UltraPick is hand carved from long lasting tough thermoplastic.  A special heating and bonding process gives the UltraPick superior memory and response, bringing new life and vitality to the guitar.  With the UltraPick your playing will be crisper, cleaner, freer and more relaxed.  With its "grip strip" edge and slight contour , it is amazingly comfortable and slip-proof.  Created by Steve Crowell, the UltraPick makes sense in every way.  Once you try the UltraPick you'll never go back to using primitive guitar tools, or picks designed for hype.  The UltraPick becomes “one” with the musician, allowing him to play at the speed of thought.

Warren Nunes was one of the greatest of all jazz guitar technicians.  Each line, whatever the blinding speed, seems to have perfect form, yet spontaneous freedom and control.  This is a wonderful album and a must for every guitar lover's collection.  Guitarists can learn more listening to Warren than they will find in most books. [The 84 Jazz Guitar Equations and Premium Lessons are based on the techniques Warren used.] CD $14.95.

If you are looking for an attractive and highly playable archtop, the Stromberg Montreux might be one to consider. I find it to be a satisfying alternative to owning an expensive handmade jazz box. The Montreux is a classy guitar anyone would be proud to take on a gig. It sounds great and is fun to play. It has all the appointments of more expensive guitars; gold hardware, flawless workmanship and name brand parts. It also has a surprisingly wide array of sounds, from mellow jazz, to rockabilly twang. Price, $1,195.00. 

 The Montreux Custom is identical with a floating pickup and volume control under the pickguard. Price, $1,295.00
