In this episode of Jazz Guitar Insights, we have an exciting Ask Me Anything session with Mark, who is a #MarchMadness challenge winner from the Jazz Guitar Fellowship! Mark brings up a critical question that many jazz guitarists face: Should you focus on reading resources or playing by ear to improve your jazz playing?

Mark is at a crossroads in his musical journey and wants to know which approach will serve as the best catalyst for his progress. We dive deep into both methods, discussing their advantages, challenges, and how they complement each other. Whether you're a guitarist who prefers reading sheet music or a player who relies on instinct and ear training, this conversation will offer insights on how to balance these two powerful tools.
