Oh hi, made a few posts before realizing there was an intro subforum.
My name is Jake Estner, I’m a teacher and player from Boston, MA. You can see/hear a lot of my playing clips on my instagram account at www.Instagram.com/JakeEstner and I post a little bit on my youtube channel, but intend to do more there in the future.
I mostly play “jazz-influenced” music, a lot of unaccompanied guitar playing actually, but Troy/Cracking the code stuff has been extremely helpful in helping me problem solve a lot of picking technique issues both for myself and for my students even though my music doesn’t have a lot of blazing runs in it. I also just think this stuff is incredibly interesting!
Since I might practice (and teach) a wide variety of musical concepts, I’m always interested in the most efficient ways to solve problems, especially for technique, because I know that spending 5 hrs a day practicing scales and arpeggios just isn’t realistic for myself or my students.
Happy to be here and continue supporting CTC, Troy, and the team.
