If you could have a guitar lesson with any jazz guitar player out there who would you choose?
For me there would be two, Metheny and Benson. Of course there are others but those two would
easily be at the top of my list.
Who would you choose?

There's an excellent local guitarist here named Goran Ivanovic==his dad is an excellent luthier based in Oak Park, they were refugees when Yugo done blowed up. I embarrassed myself by calling him Goran Ivanisevic==a tall, Sampras era serve and volleyer.
As for teachers, I was very lucky to study with my teacher. I got stuff I can work on for the rest of my life.

Ben Monder or Joe Morris.

For me like a lesson with a Jazz legend like Kenny Burrell or Pat Martino. Also lesson with a great horn player like Kenny Garrett or Sonny Rollins.

Me too, if it's a guitar player. If I can choose any instrument, I want a lesson with Tom Harrell. Originally Posted by kamlapati

I'm actually trying to get a lesson with John Moulder this Summer though.
If I can pick a non living teacher, since we're just dreaming (maybe) I'd go with Jimmy Raney.

Bingo. There ya go. If you want to learn from the very best, there is only one Sonny Rollins. Since Ornette will try to solve the Riddle of the Sphinx with his Hamelodics, I would imagine Sonny would be much more down-to-earth. Originally Posted by docbop

Okay are you saying "her" because of her guitar playing or because she's cute? LOL Originally Posted by TruthHertz

By the way I didn't see a ring on any of those fingers. LOL
Just trying to figure that out?

I've actually heard Metheny being a pretty bad teacher. My old guitar teacher told me he studied with him back when he taught at Berklee, and told me he learned pretty much nothing from him. That being said, I think an hour long conversation with him on music would be pretty interesting, and it could still teach a lot. Also, that was a few decades ago, things change in 30 years
On my list, on top is Mike Moreno, probably gonna take a few lessons with him in the coming months, and hopefully I'll be able to study with him next semester. I've heard he is an incredible teacher.
I would also love to take a lesson or a few with Kurt Rosenwinkel, obviously. I'll also agree with all that said Jim Hall (quick tip: I e-mailed his agency to see if he was still teaching recently, and got a response from them directly recommending Peter Bernstein. I took a lesson with him and got some really good information from him. So for you New Yorkers, I really recommend him).
I'd also love to study with a piano player and work heavily on chords. I spoke to Aaron Parks at the Rosenwinkel show at the Vanguard and I'm going to get something set up with him. Aaron Goldberg as well. Would love to study with Brad Mehldau as well.
If I had to pick a horn player, either Will Vinson, Chris Potter, or Ralph Lalama.
As far as dead people, I would with no hesitation set up a lifetime worth of lessons with Charlie Banacos.

If we're robbing the graveyard, I'd skip the guitarists and go for someone like Ellington or Mingus. Or, Sonny Rollins said Bud Powell was THE bebop professor...

Jim Hall or Ed Bickert!

This is my current instructor. He's all I'll ever need. He plays it all . . bop, straight ahead, fusion, rock funk, big band. . . etc.. He's a Berklee grad, studied with Leavitt, he has amazing patience.
If you're interested in seeing a video of his playing, click on the audio/video tab, then click on the photo of his hand on the fret board in the lower left corner of the screen shot.

Thx for sharing. His method on picking sounds very interesting. Originally Posted by Patrick2

And of course Bireli, but he plays all those styles Can't fit him in a box.
I can't pick just one. Can I have a lesson with all of these masters?

Ed Bickert

I studied with Attila Zoller in the 70's and maintained a warm relationship with him for 25 years. He passed away in 1998. If I could play just one more time with him ...!
