Unregistered	I teach guitar and stick to a syllabus of mostly classical guitar and chords (rock and pop songs) I'm now thinking about broadening out my teaching into jazz and blues, but don't really know where to start. I can play jazz by ear myself, but I have never used any notated pieces. Can anyone recommend any good material for any standard of player? Many thanks

Unregistered	There are many books/tapes, instructional and pieces. They need to be browsed. Do you live within reach of Denmark Street off the Charing X road? You'll be treated to some wonderful stretches and position changes. This is said to be why guitars styled for jazz have a smaller scale. :) .'.

Unregistered	Yeah, I'm close to central london - but all the tutor books with CD's I've looked at haven't really appealed. They all look a bit cheesy and naff. Can you recommend a title in particular? looking forward to those stretches! cheers for replying
