Hi! I'm Jared.

I'm a guitarist from Seattle who has been teaching and playing professionally for twenty years.

Over the last two decades I’ve taught thousands of hours of lessons to hundreds of students while continuing to practice and learn diligently myself. Throughout this process I discovered a deep passion for creating unique approaches to attaining a high level of musicianship on the guitar. I learned firsthand that not all exercises are created equal. To attain any desired musical skill we must design a specific and thorough method that takes us straight to the center of our goal, leaving no gaps in our ability or knowledge. I’ve created, tested, and refined a multitude of these methods over the years and the curriculum presented in this course is one of them.

At the heart of all great learning methods is problem solving. How do we transition from lacking certain abilities to being able to use them fluently? A properly designed exercise or curriculum should get us there without us even realizing it, so long as we follow the steps laid out for us. This is exactly how Jazz Comping Mastery is set up. After seeing this approach work both for myself and for many of my students, you can rest assured that if you practice exactly what’s assigned in these video lessons you will attain and master the information in an extremely efficient, effective, and enjoyable way.

This is a unique method for practicing, seeing, connecting, and playing chord forms on the guitar that you won’t find anywhere else. To learn this information from me privately in one-on-one guitar lessons would take months of weekly sessions and cost many hundreds of dollars at $100 per lesson. For only a little more than one of those private lessons you can get the entire program carefully produced as a self-paced, step-by-step video course.

My goal is to help musicians everywhere find more fulfillment in their practicing by sharing approaches that really work. I put a great amount of thought and care into creating this course with the sole intention that it be truly valuable for you. I hope you find this to be the case and I look forward to creating more courses that help to deepen the level of joy we can experience through music.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback any time by leaving a comment within the course, or just email me at [email protected]

Happy Practicing! :)

Know What’s Being Played with Visual Aids

Each lesson includes a thorough video demonstration on how to practice and apply every exercise. Countless extra hours have been put into the editing and production of these courses to ensure that the material is as straightforward to follow as possible. That means you get clear visual aids on-screen as you’re watching and learning—no need to guess what’s being played in the video!

Who JCM is for

The Jazz Comping Mastery series is perfect for any guitarist seeking to unlock the mystery of the fretboard with practical, hands-on exercises that guarantee a deeper understanding of 7th chord harmony and voice leading. From those seeking to play jazz at a high level to singer-songwriters interested in spicing up their own accompaniment, the Jazz Comping Mastery series cuts straight to the most efficient and effective ways to actually internalize new and exciting chord forms on the guitar.

What JCM is about

This program is all about building a whole language of chord options off of a few basic 7th chord shapes in a logical, understandable, and methodical way. In the first course alone we multiply our chord voicing options into 60 unique chord forms! Does that sound awesome but intimidating? Don’t worry, the exercises are carefully crafted to keep the awesome and get rid of the intimidation. This customized approach to practicing tons of new 7th chords is designed to make clear sense to any level of guitar player.

Why JCM is beneficial

Beyond just learning a large of amount of chord vocabulary options, the exercises in these courses are designed to make your new harmonic knowledge immediately practical, useable, and applicable to any of the music that you’re working on right now. The powerful combination of learning solid theoretical concepts by means of actually playing organized exercises will leave you feeling like you just leveled up in a way that is both intellectual and creative.

How to use JCM

The most exciting part about this program is that it’s able to cover a vast amount of information through a simple, understandable, and linear process. Because of that, the value that you receive from these lessons will last for the rest of your musical life. The primary objective when taking these courses should be on understanding what the exercises are and how to practice them, not on getting them down as you go. Once you understand the method and approach to practicing this content, you can then carry it with you forever, steadily working towards a deep and controlled level of mastery.
