	Early Jazz For Fingerstyle Guitar Taught by Lasse Johansson The ragtime and early jazz music pioneers during the first decades of the last century didn’t know that the sounds they created would echo in the music that people loved for years to come.

I was born and raised in Sweden and I have always enjoyed the music from that era but being a guitarist, I never thought that playing back-up in a jazz band was for me. I’d rather do something with these songs so that they would fit my approach playing fingerstyle guitar. . . . more . . .
