JAZZ Guitar Circle
Group Sessions in Berlin
6 Tuesday evenings · 25 August – 29 September 2026 · 7–9 PM CEST
Playing jazz alone in your room is one thing. Playing it in a room with other guitarists is something else entirely — and it's the part most people never get to practice.
That's what the Circle is for.
The tunes
25 Aug · Recorda Me
1 Sep · Stella By Starlight
8 Sep · Body And Soul
15 Sep · Invitation
22 Sep · Maiden Voyage
29 Sep · Bluesette
Six standards, six different worlds — minor modal, a harmonic maze, one of the most beautiful ballads ever written, a jazz waltz, one of the great modal tunes and much more !!

How an evening works
The first 45 minutes are technique. Real work on your hands: picking, voicings, time — the things that hold everyone back and that nobody wants to practice alone.
Then we play. 45 minutes of improvising over one standard — comping for each other, trading, listening, making music together instead of playing along to a track. Plus some music theory :)
Every week has its own tune. You'll get the lead sheet a few days in advance, so you come prepared and we can dive straight in.
Who this is for
The Circle is for players who can already improvise over a standard. You know a handful of tunes, you're comfortable with basic chord shapes and finding your way around the fretboard, and you want to get better at playing with other people.
If you're earlier in the journey than that, let's do a one-on-one intro lesson first — I'd love to meet you either way.
