ENROLLING NOW FOR FALL WORKSHOPS

New to swing and trad jazz? Old to swing and trad jazz? Greg Ruby offers online workshops to take you to your next level! Greg is a superb musician and performer, an excellent teacher/coach, and a great person filled with enthusiasm, patience, and humor.

I’ve played music for decades and turned my attention to jazz/swing guitar about 10 years ago. It just didn’t stick so I let it go. I love the music but couldn’t get it out of my head, into my fingers, and onto my guitar. Greg has changed that over the past year.

Last fall, I started with the Foundations of Swing online course. It was a challenge. I loved it. I was learning, and bits and pieces of each lesson were sticking. The lessons are song/tune-based with a focus on one or more skills (rhythm, chord progressions, passing chords, etc.). I took full advantage of revisiting the videos and handouts between lessons and continue to use them months later. There was a wide range of experience among participants in our class and Greg had something to offer every person at every lesson. He genuinely welcomes all questions and does a fabulous job addressing them. 

I moved on to a repertoire course, some one-shot workshops, and an in-person week-long Swing Ensemble class. I’m hooked and looking forward to Rhythm Guitar Deep Dive!
