Hristo Vitchev - Internationally acclaimed mode...

Introduction: In my personalized private lessons I cover everything from theory of improvisation, intervallic studies, modern melodic and harmonic approaches, advanced chord voicing and chord substitutions, harmony (traditional and modern), rhythm and melodic vocabulary, sight-reading, transcribing, and different techniques of composition and arranging. The lessons are fine tuned to each student's personal needs and demands. Referred by the media as one of the newest and most innovative voices in modern jazz guitar, Hristo's music has been captivating audiences all across the globe. At only age 36 he has already released 7 critically acclaimed albums as a leader plus 4 more releases as a co-leader. As JazzTimes magazine describes his music: “Vitchev’s sophisticated and adventurous work is imbued with shimmering harmonies and lyrical improvisations.” "Vitchev’s multihued compositions are like impressionistic sound paintings." - JAZZIZ CRITICAL JAZZ says: "Hristo Vitchev may be one of the best kept secrets in jazz today. He is the epitome of sonic gold." "Bulgaria-born, Bay Area-based guitarist Hristo Vitchev, having firmly established himself as a gentle giant in the contemporary jazz scene, seems always willing and able to reinvent himself while holding true to the integrity of his artistry." – ECM REVIEWS "Hristo is now looked upon as one today's finest jazz guitarists around the world. He’s a creative artist with a strong passion and endless originality. His music has magic powers since he can bring listeners’ emotions to a far deeper place that few people ever reach." - Andrea Nardini (The Noodle Chronicle - Shanghai, China) I am very passionate about guitar, theory, and music in general. Jazz Improvisation and composition are my main specialties but I enjoy helping others reach their musical goals in any style, genre, and areas.
