Charlie Parker for Guitarists NEW!with Mimi FoxSaxophonist/composer Charlie Parker (1920 – 1955) is widely considered to be one of the most influential jazz musicians.

Parker’s music presents special challenges for guitarists particularly in the areas of fingering, articulation, and reading. In this hands-on class, students explore Charlie Parker’s music in depth, playing his solos and analyzing his melodic lines. Instructor provides tips for playing at Parker’s often breakneck tempos.
