ALEX ADRIAN

NEW YORK JAZZ GUITAR INSTITUTE

INTRODUCTORY VIDEO demonstrating the virtuoso technique and logical approach to teaching employed by the late Alex Adrian at the New York Jazz Guitar Institute and in his “distance learning” jazz guitar workshop video series.

Please note that this course was primarily designed for professional players and/or full time students. Alex prepared each video to include sufficient study material for one week. Non-professional players studying at their leisure may find one video per month more appropriate.
