Hi Guys,

Here is the sheet to my Giant Steps Exersize.

Remember -- Slow & Steady Wins The race! Do this glacially slow at first and gradually speed it up -- then do the same thing with alternate fingerings.

I'd love to see some VE's with this!

All the best and see you 'round campus!

Hello Jazz Guitarists 0ne & all!

Here is a PDF of the chord solo I did on "White Christmas" transcribed and charted by Super Student and fantastic guitarist Bill Moio.

Thnk you Bill!!!!!

I look forward to hearing some of you guys take a crack at playing it and submitting a video of it.

Wishing you all the very best in 2017 on our continueed journey to Jazz Guitar and beyond,

Hello Jazz Guitarists One & All!

I have just posted a new welcome video with a brand new Lick of the Month. It is based on a song from my new CD, which I JUST finished this week.

The CD is called "Unspoken" and the song is "Cut & Run".

It is a song that features one of my favorite techniques: alternating single note runs and chords.

Hey, Hey, Hey!!!!

So I am hitting the road BIG TIME starting next week, and you can check my tour itinerary here:

Here is the LOTM for April that us in the welcome message video above.

So signing off for now, and wishing you all a happy, healthy, jazz guitar Spring!

Hey Jazz Guitarists One and All,

I'm back with some great VE's today and an extra LOTM for March.

I start touring again in earnest in April and hope to see some of you at one of the shows. There are some really cool ones!

If you do make it to one -- make sure to stop by and say hey.

You can see the tour dates at www.chuckloeb.com

Hello Jazz Guitarists One & All!

I just posted a new welcome message and LOTM for March, which is a II V I in a minor key (hence the lame pun in the title of this blog entry).

And so I wanted to put up the music for it - here it is:

It is great to be back in action and I'm ready to get back to some serious Jazz Guitar with all of you! 

See you 'campus!

Hello Fellow Guitarists!

Back off the road from great gigs all over the world, I am checking in with the greatest guitar hang ANYWHERE - ArtistWorks!!

Hope all of you are doing well and guitaring to your heart's content.

I recently finished a tour of Asia with Fourplay where we debuted music from the 25th Anniversary CD "Silver". We had many great shows, of which one highlight was The Tokyo Jazz Festival, where we were joined by original member Lee Ritenour, and my immediate predecessor in the band Larry Carlton. What a thrill to sheare the stage with these two masters!

Here's a pic of us at the rehearsal:

I also want to share info about upcoming gigs and activities, so here is my latest newsletter with a link to all the shows.

I hope to see some of you if we come to your area, and of course looking forward to your VE's!

Seeya 'round campus!
