30s swingy/jazzy lessons?

Adam Tracksler · Post by **Adam Tracksler** » 13 Feb 2014 2:31 pm

Ive been working with Bob Brozman's DVD and am looking for some more focused directed learning of 30s Cheap Suit Serenaders/Sweet Hollywaiians kind of stuff. There is next to nothing that I can find unlearning this kind of repertoire, are there any instructors doing Skype/webcam lessons teaching this kind of music?

Thanks,\ad

PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong spotâ€¦

although i am glad to see Mike Neer cut his own path with his current musical direction, he was one of the keepers of that flame you seek.
maybe....

Adam, a guy named John Ely, who used to play steel for Asleep at the Wheel, does Skype lessons and teaches a wide variety of styles. I've taken lessons from him, he's an excellent instructor who really understands and teaches theory/technique/repertoire.
(To avoid confusion, I point out that there are two of us named John Ely here on the forum. Seriously. What are the chances...?)
His website is http://www.hawaiiansteel.com/
