Hello Jazz Guitarists All!

I want to say HEY! Welcome all the new students, and wish everyone all the very best for the Holiday Season.

I got some very nice news for my birthday and an early Christmas present, and I want to share it with you all.

I recorded a CD  called "Jazz Funk Soul" earlier this year with my good friends Jeff Lorber (keyboards) and Everette Harp (sax),

and we found out on Friday that the album has been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Contemporary Instrumental category.

Very exciting and gratifying news indeed! 

I also want to let you know that my bandmate in Fourplay and fellow ArtistWorks Professor Nathan East is also up for a Grammy in the same category!!

So wish us both luck on February 8th and may the best Professor Win!!!

Here is the LOTW written out - a simple II - V - I lick in the key of G. Hope you find it useful

I just finished my last live show of 2014 on Thursday and will be off the road for a few months!

So I will be able check in here a lot easier and I'm looking forward to a bunch of Jazz Guitar activity from you!

So thats it for now, and see you all 'round campus!

 - Professor Chuck
