Beyond the Frets is your chance to hear in-depth conversations with legendary guitarists, educators and composers about their process, struggles, accomplishments and thoughts on the modern music industry.  This week's episode features Frank Potenza. Frank is one of the founding fathers of jazz guitar pedagogy who spent his early days at Berklee and now has been a professor at USC for many years. His sophisticated, swinging style can be heard on records by Gene Harris and under his own name. For many years he had a close relationship with Joe Pass, which we touched on in addition to his thoughts on modern jazz education and much more! Find more at https://frankpotenza.com/  Sit Down.
