Mikey Marrero here from Charlotte, North Carolina!
Great to be a part of the Infinite Guitar Community.
Look forward to studying from guys like Tom Quayle and Rick Graham
Background info:
Been playing guitar since I was 11 years and quickly immersed myself in heavy rock, shred, and fusion styles.
Since the age of 17, I have been studying Classical Guitar in College and am part of the Jazz Big Band in Charlotte.
I am also a guitar, bass, & piano instructor for the Ballantyne School of Music, and own a private teaching business by the name of “Marrero Studios”.
I Look forward to spending a lot of energy studying jazz and fusion. I recently joined a jazz trio, and need to develop a strong vocabulary to help with
musical phrasing and comping. If anybody can recommend guitar players/Jazz standards to study from, please send them my way!
I already know about Pat Metheny, John Schofield, Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, Jimmy Herring, Joe Pass, Pat Martino, and Kevin Eubanks.
Any other advice about jazz comping, and phrasing let me know. I am all open ears and all about learning.
Cheers!
-Mikey
