Make music. Connect with people.

Don’t wait until you’re perfect.

I’m Tina Jäckel, a jazz guitarist and teacher based in Berlin. I’ve spent my life playing, practicing, teaching, and thinking about music—and I created this space to share all of it with you. The music, the process, the struggles, the joy, and everything in between.

Hi, I’m Tina — a jazz guitarist, teacher and content creator based in Berlin.

On this website you’ll find jazz guitar lessons, chord melody arrangements, PDFs, practice concepts and weekly videos focused on improvisation, harmony and creative expression on the guitar.

My goal is to help guitar players build a deeper understanding of jazz while also developing a more personal relationship to the instrument — step by step and without overwhelm.

Whether you’re just getting started or already more advanced, I hope you find something here that inspires you to keep playing and exploring.
