Barry Greene

Jazz Guitarist and Educator

"I've been enjoying the guitar as an instrument and its amazing artists all of my life. To me Barry Greene is just about one of the best; not only as a player, but also as a writer and a teacher. I agree with others who regard him as a world class musician."

 -Pat Martino

Hello, I'm Barry Greene. I specialize in producing online lessons tailored to musicians aiming to enhance their jazz guitar skills. My lessons focus on helping them extract greater value from the challenging jazz theory they've studied, while also significantly enhancing the creative aspects of their playing.

"One Finger Snap" Live from The Bar Next Door NYC 12/2011

When I’m not performing or teaching, I can be found listening to a lot of R&B and Soul music. I try to stay fit by biking at least 40 miles a week, and have been trying to learn French for quite a while. Très Difficile:) 

If you’re dying to know more, here are a couple of things you probably don’t know about me…

I like country music.

I’ve always wished I had a voice like Brian McKnight, or anyone good for that matter.
