"Always thought jazz guitar was too complex, but Matt's courses have opened up a new world of melody and harmony for me. In just a short period, I've gained more insight than I did in decades of self-study!" - Fred Weber (MWG Guitarist)


"I’ve been playing classical guitar for 60 years, and jazz for 5. MWG’s structure, material, and support has given more experience and growth than any other musical learning experience I’ve ever had. Not only has MWG improved my jazz playing, it’s improved my classical playing as well.” – Harvey Willensky (MWG Guitarist)

Che Bonilla, MWG Guitarist

Beginner jazz guitarist learned to comp, solo, & build chord melodies.

Before MWG

  • Struggled with soloing over standards.
  • Didn’t know how to build or use jazz chords.
  • Couldn’t play scales, modes, or arpeggios.

After MWG

  • Soloing over standards with sidestepping, enclosures, & more.
  • Nailing chord-scale relationships and how to solo with modes.
  • Creating chord melodies over jazz standards.

“Being a part of MWG is like having a personal jazz guitar teacher who shows up regularly at your home whenever you need them. Matt's always there to answer ANY question, regardless of level or how simple you think the question is. The support I receive has taken my playing way beyond my expectations.” – Che Bonilla - USA
