Interview with Jazz fingerstyle legend: Martin Taylor.

In this second interview with Grammy Award-winning guitarist Martin Taylor, we talk about ear training, melodic development, and how Martin approaches learning new material.

🎸 Guitarist, composer, and guitar teacher, Martin is considered by many (and myself!) a jazz fingerstyle legend. He's praised as one of the world’s foremost exponents of solo jazz and fingerstyle guitar playing.

In this video, Martin shares his insight & tips to strengthen the connection between the ear and your hand might. And unlike myself, it doesn't start with transcribing. Martin couldn't read music for the first 15 years of playing, but he had an incredible ability to visualize phrases and sounds on his guitar neck.

Martin possesses a signature style that artfully combines his virtuosity, emotion & skill you'll want to dig into. Dig his approach? You can learn fingerstyle and jazz guitar directly on his website.
