Jazz guitar workshop

By and with Marcus Klossek

Dear friends of the cultivated jazz guitar,

On Saturday, December 2, 2023 from 2 to 4 pm it’s time again – this time Marcus Klossek will introduce you to concepts and examples of soloing with chords at the jazz guitar workshop! More precisely, it will be about a method for improvising in chord-melody style with Dm6 voicings. First, Marcus shows you the 4 “drop two” inversions of m6 chords and explains what “drop-two” chords actually are.

Then it continues with the insertion of diminished voicings between the m6 chords and we already have a chord-melody scale that is great for improvising! Marcus will also give ideas and examples of a jazz standard to put into practice – so you can expand your song repertoire at the same time.

As always, everything is written down in notes and tabs to take home with you! So, grab your guitar and come along!

Marcus studied music at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and put the finishing touches on his guitar playing in masterclasses with jazz luminaries like Jack deJohnette, Jim Hall and Pat Metheny! Through countless club and festival gigs he is one of the busiest musicians in the German scene and has already released 8 albums with his Marcus Klossek Trio!

The workshop is suitable for anyone who already has some basic guitar knowledge and is new to the field of jazz or wants to brush up on their jazz skills!
