Jack Wilkins: Solo Jazz Guitar Seminar
What comes to your mind when you think of “Jazz”?
Do you picture somebody in a black suit playing saxophone in a smoky underground club?
Or do you maybe fantasize about the Manhattan skyline by night?
Obviously, there are MANY meanings and connotations to the word “Jazz.”
For decades, music historians, fans, and critics have debated about the origin and the meaning of this word. We are not claiming to have an ultimate answer to this, but we can point to at least ONE undeniable truth. There is definitely ONE UNWRITTEN LAW when it comes to the term “Jazz.”
Are you ready for it?
New York.
From nostalgic memories of Big Bands playing on Broadway in the 1930’s, or black and white pictures showcasing soldiers dancing swing before boarding ships for world war II, to Miles Davis playing legendary concerts at Carnegie Hall…
Jazz and New York, it’s just an inseparable bond, period.
Now, what if YOU could experience and be mentored by someone who has been part of that history for nearly 50 years? Somebody who is not only a native New Yorker but also has been around Jazz for decades.
Taga Publishing is proud to present to you New York’s legend JACK WILKINS.

There is a great deal of information here. All complemented by some marvelous solo arrangements. The moving notation is impressive, but I personally prefer to study the old-fashioned way and just printed the PDFs out. Many thanks.
Jamie Webster
Nice course. Great presentation. With just one more full solo piece it would be perfect.
Dave Cusworth
Jack is an articulate teacher with tons of experience. All in all a very good and well put together package if you want to learn solo jazz guitar.
Javier Gonzalez

Natasha Kazmierczak
Beatiful course on solo jazz guitar playing, i always wanted to start playing this style. But i think you already need some knowledge to really understand this course. Very nice song selection and warm teacher!
Jörg Radelberger
I am very impressed with the sound slice technology, it really helped me practicing difficult parts. Jack is such an underestimated and overlooked jazz guitar legend, so i was very happy to join this course. Loved it!
Eddie Sandoval
This is just what I needed. I am trying to play solo guitar in the style of Joe Pass and this course really helped me!
Eli Williams
I found Jack to be redundant at times but I still learned a lot, especially about intros.
Hugh Kaufman
Wow! Jack’s lessons are precise and to the point. I am learning so much from these and I hope that he does more!
Keisuke Sasakura
How nice!
I have never seen such an instruction item.
Amazing!
Jack Wilkins is a fantastic musician! Very interesting how he explains 2-5-1 approaches and also to be able to see how he thinks about harmony.
I’ll probably need a lot of time to process all the information he explained and most important, the information contained in his playing, which in this course is very easy to see/read.
