This month I’m joined by one of the UK’s finest jazz guitarists, the multiple award-winning Nigel Price. Often referred to as “one of the hardest working musicians in the business” Nigel is much in demand and tours all over the UK with his own band, often clocking up more than 50 gigs per tour!

During this workshop, Nigel will be exploring the playing of the great jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery and, in particular, his approach to jazz blues. This is one of the most popular styles of jazz, and who better to do it! Nigel’s critically acclaimed album dedicated to Wes Montgomery is available on Spotify here… https://open.spotify.com/album/0taWGVpJZu8RRZOM54LVPB


Starting his professional career in his early 20s, Nigel toured Europe with various reggae and funk bands before settling on a solo guitar career and turning his attention to jazz. Citing early influences as Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nigel honed his craft by attending gigs and sitting in with the players of the time.

Nigel has played on more than 50 albums including 5 as a leader, spent ten years with acid jazz outfit The Filthy Six, was a member of James Taylor’s band for 3 years (with whom he recorded 5 albums) and performed with the legendary David Axelrod and a support show for Gladys Knight at The Royal Albert Hall, plus an appearance on Van Morrison’s album Keep Me Singing.

Nigel is the winner of the Parliamentary Jazz Award for Best Jazz Ensemble, and has been nominated for Best Guitarist in the British Jazz Awards several times. He is a regular performer at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club where he has made more than 500 appearances.

This will be practical class, so please make sure you have your instrument ready to play. Downloads are available in advance in Concert Pitch, Bb Pitch, Eb Pitch and Bass Clef.

Everyone is muted in the class, so you are welcome to play along as much as you like, or just tune in and observe. Either is fine. There is also a Q&A session at the end of the class.

The workshop lasts approx 1hr and starts at 10:30am
