In a series of exclusive videos, legendary jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour shows you the craft of guitar playing, breaking down the styles, techniques, tricks of the trade and gear you need to make the best of your playing and find your own musical identity. In addition, Ritenour shows you essential listening lists of classic guitars and also shows you how to learn the specialized art of improvisation. The lessons are broken down into 20-30 minute videos for you to watch and re-watch to pick up on the wealth of information that Ritenour has to share from his decades of work as a well-respected player along many other guitar greats, which he discusses here too.
Lee shows you how it's important to slow down, listen and think about your playing to find your own identity and sound.

MCL's Feedback Sessions are a new online music education system where MCL members post music related questions in video format, and then trained MCL advisers respond directly to the videos. Ask what you want to help you focus on just the points you're looking for professional feedback on.
Do you want to learn how to play a phrase you just can't get on your own? Do you want feedback on a piece you wrote? Do you want to ask if there's another approach to a musical quandary you have? Feedback Sessions are flexible and personal, so they help build you up into the musician you want to become.
Since it's a video you can watch it as many times as you like from anywhere. Feedback Sessions fit your lifestyle perfectly.
