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 the consummate guitarist and educator Jake Estner.  Jake is someone I've admired for years, having found him on Instagram way back, and I'm always amazed at his ability to dive so deep into harmony, rhythm, and practice concepts. I had a blast talking to him about  teaching beginners, finding joy in education,  his  journey coming up in the Boston area and much more...so much more in fact that this will be a two-fer interview! The second episode will pick up with an amazing story about how Jake got to sit in with Dweezil Zappa's band not too long ago. Find more about Jake at https://www.jakeestner.com/ Sit Down.
