i’m tina jäckel — a jazz guitarist from berlin.
exploring new ideas for improvisation keeps me inspired — i’m always looking for ways to challenge myself and keep evolving.
lately i’ve come back to a book i’ve owned for over 30 years: the joe pass guitar style book.
now that i really understand what’s inside, i find it fascinating — but i don’t want to just copy it.
i want to take the concepts, mix them with my own way of playing, and see what happens :)
and if you’d like to go further, i’m hosting monthly live webinars where we explore the joe pass guitar style book together — page by page, idea by idea. ( dieses webinar gibt es auch auf deutsch einfach hier clicken )
