Harvey Willensky, Player Profile
Classical guitarist falls in love with jazz, improvising, and chord melodies.
Before MWG
- I wanted to improvise and play more freely.
- I'd never played with a group or backing track.
- Rhythms when soloing and comping were a struggle.
- I got lost in the form and couldn't hear chord changes.
After MWG
- I can improvise over standards in real time.
- My timing & rhythm has improved dramatically.
- My arrangements and chord melodies have improved significantly.
- Listening to jazz is more enjoyable. I now understand what I’m hearing.
“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 - USA
Jerry Battista, MWG Member
Big band guitarist making huge strides with comping, soloing, and jam session confidence.
Before MWG
- 55 years playing guitar, 15 years in a jazz big band.
- Needed to improve my improvisational skills.
- Struggled to comp melodically without a pianist to help.
- Over-analyzing and overthinking when soloing. (Performance anxiety)
After MWG

- Soloing is much more fluid.
- Uninhibited by fear of “breaking rules or “making embarrassing mistakes.”
- Confidence at jam sessions is greatly improved.
“MWG offers a rich on-line learning resource and organized curriculum for jazz guitarists at all levels and all ages. Matt’s courses, camps, workshops, office hours, and daily exercises are extremely helpful. His depth of knowledge on jazz harmony and the guitarist’s unique role is exceptional. He teaches material in a relaxed, friendly, and humble manner. He openly exchanges “tricks of the trade” and promptly responds to student questions, sometimes within minutes!” - Jerry Battista - Canada
The MWG Studio is for guitarists who:
- Love listening to jazz and are ready to play jazz guitar.
- Enjoy learning new & creative musical concepts.

Che Bonilla, Player Profile
This shy guitarist learned to comp, solo, & build chord melodies over standards.
Before MWG
- Struggled with soloing over standards.

- Couldn’t play scales, modes, or arpeggios.
After MWG

- Nailing chord-scale relationships and how to solo with modes.

“Being a part of MWG is like having a personal guitar teacher who shows up regularly at your home, whenever you need them, to clarity every issue. Matt's always there to answer ANY question, regardless of level or how simple you think the question is. The amount of material on MWG is enough to maintain your music education for years. On top of that, MWG Studio members are the most helpful, warm, and kind folks out there. I started out shy, unwilling to post videos. Now I post almost daily and the support I receive has taken my playing way beyond my expectations.” – Che Bonilla - USA
