I met Marlowe at a time when I was developing an interest in Jazz music, as he is a specialist in that genre. However,  through knowing him, I gained a fair amount of exposure to a wide range of new and interesting styles of music, ranging from Afrobeat to country and folk music. Marlowe helped me break through the initial barrier of playing with other people while improvising. He spends a lot of time thinking about how music can, and should be taught -  and  has provided me with useful advice when looking at new books and resources worth checking out (in particular, books by Joe Pass were especially useful). I reccomend people wanting to explore the guitar, and music in general,  more deeply give lessons with Marlowe a go. Louis R
