In 2010, JazzGuitarLessons.net has seen just a little over 120 000 visitors consult its pages. In 2011, it's most likely going to be over 250 000.

It really seems as though you, my dear readers and "virtual students", are enjoying what you can find here! Thank you for reading, consulting and asking. Without you, the website would not exist.

As you may know, most of the content on this website is 100% free of charge. Of course, it's understood that private lessons and other premium material are paid resources. Some things I just can't give or I'd be working on this website from a bench in a park. (-:

I'm not asking anything in return of the free stuff though... What I am thinking is if you feel like helping (in any way), I will gladly accept.

... without the paycheck.

The current articles, videos, podcasts and lessons took me hours and hours and hours to conceive, create and upload. I'm still continuing on this journey providing new content : writing articles, answering emails and questions, uploading videos, etc.

I see JazzGuitarLessons.net as my child... and honestly it takes as much, if not more, of my time and energy than taking care of a baby. (-:

Donate Money

As a token of appreciation for your generosity, I have created an eBook compilation of JazzGuitarLessons.net's material. Donators of 10$ (or more) will get this document as a "gift". It's my way of saying "Thank You".

Now you can read and practice all the lessons found here even when you're offline : on a Kindle (eBook reader), reading from a computer or tablet... you can even print some pages and use them for practicing, on a good old music stand. (-:

Here's what this "virtual gift" is all about... In exchange of donating 10 bucks (or more), you'll received a great 215-page compilation of :

-Basic JazzGuitarLessons.net lessons on scales and chords and their applications;

-Jazz Guitar Articles on a wide range of topics including chord-melody and transcriptions;

-Chord Charts with basic grips and beyond;

-Improvisation Tips and Techniques;

-Detailed jazz theory overview;

-15 Original Chord-Melody Arrangements.

It's really a "win-win" situation : you get to access all the information found on this website wherever/whenever in a user and printer friendly format (for only a small fee)... And I get to pay the web hosting bills for this little monster! (-:

Testimonials :

Hi Marc - just wanted to say that your eBook is an excellent source - a 'one place' easy to use (on the music stand) resource.

As always, you continue to provide excellent materials for the aspiring guitarist.
Thanks.

I've been looking all over the place for comprehensive lessons on jazz guitar fundamentals and I finally came across this amazing site. Not only does Marc cover a huge range of material, but he also makes his lessons easy to understand for people of all levels.

On top of everything else, for a very reasonable donation you get a great resource to help improve your playing even more.

Don't want to give money? Not a problem!

If you can't or won't make a monetary donation to this website, here are other creative ways you can help :

• Encourage an Up-and-Coming Jazz Artist
  
  One great way to support the website is to help the jazzman behind it all! Buy my new EP titled "The Time it Took", independently released in the summer of 2011. See this page...


• Spread the Word!
  
  This is free for you to do. It only takes a few moments of your time. Share pages on facebook, tweet about JazzGuitarLessons.net or simply let your friends and family how much you like the website...
  
  You can also link to JazzGuitarLessons.net if you have your own website or blog. This makes for a great "donation", so to speak.


• Advertisements
  
  The ads throughout the website are contextual. They are relevant to the content you are reading. If (and only if) the advertisement looks interesting to you, clicking on it gives me a few cents each time ;-)


• Products
  
  Whenever I recommend a book, DVD or software I make a small comission with each sale (mostly under 10%). If are buying a product online, remember that you are doing me a small favor by using *my link* to complete the purchase (on Amazon.com or other merchants.)


• Website Services
  
  I am teaching privately both using the webcam (over Skype) and by email. I'm always looking for new students. The more the merrier! (If not specifically for you, I believe in word of mouth : spread it the news!)


• Time
  
  If you are willing to donate your time to complete simple computer tasks, please contact me. I always have too much to do and help is always appreciated!
