Excerpts from Jay's class, available at www.mikesmasterclasses.com This class addresses psychological performance concepts, methodology (how to) pointers and philosophical concepts relating to the guitar and music in general. Jay shares his insights drawn from 30 years in the music arena. Other topics covered are topics rarely, if ever, discussed. Unlike the standard approach to master classes (i.e., put your finger here and play this chord, etc.) this class series is a discussion about the artistic/philosophical side of music. This class series will have you thinking "why didn't I know this 20 years ago!" Topics include: • Being professional • Preparing mentally for the gig • Preparing physically for the gig • Finding your own voice • Characteristics of pro players • Believe in what you do • If you want to be a good player • Tightening up jazz standards • How to work with study materials
