I have always thought of Jean-Marc Belkadi as a remarkable guitarist. He is definitely
one of the finest new, upcoming Jazz Guitarist I've heard in years.......His technique is
awsome.........It's a matter of the public catching up to what I've known for a long time.
He is all set to blow you away and his CD is a must for all serious guitar fans.

Some months ago, I bought your instructional book "Advanced Scale Concepts and
Licks" Hal Leonard. Well, I have read all its pages, and I have studied it a lot, and now
I can say that it's the BEST guitar instructional book I have ever seen!!! It's so
complete, solos are so good, all is very clear and well written and it treat many topics.
So I congratulate you for your good work.

My favorite selections were "Stopover" and "The Twelve". For sheer fretboard frenzied
fun, I also liked "Street Licks". Enjoyable also was the clean toned solo of "For Some
Friends" and the beautiful melodic duet lines of "The last Horizon".
Overall, Jean-Marc Belkadi showcases very good single-note chops and interesting
lines, I especially dig the octave displacement
technique. The clean solo in "...Friends" was a nice'icing on the cake'. Not all guitarists,
as keen or concerned listeners know, can bring it home with a clean tone. Many are
disappointing in this vein. I am glad to say J.M.B. was not!
The striking thing about J.M.B.'s playing is the feel that he conveys. He is a Jazz/Rocker
at heart equally at home in both idioms ("Street Licks" confirms that he is also a
committed shredder). I like J.M.B.'s overall attitude towards music. He is not afraid to be
aggressive where the stereotype ideal of the music might demand otherwise. He is
adventurous, and yet very disciplined.

Sensei to the Stars:
You don’t have to be an amateur guitarist to need guitar lessons. Even the pros like a
good schoolin’ now and again. And if you’re a professional guitarist, singer, or actor in
the Los Angeles area who’s fishing around for a guitar teacher, it probably won’t be
long before someone refers you to Jean-Marc Belkadi. Like his mentor, the late, great
guitar genius Ted Greene, Belkadi is quickly emerging as one of the most in-demand
and respected guitar instructors in Southern California and beyond. Over the years,
the former GIT staffer’s roster of students has included Dweezil Zappa, Ricardo
Montalban, Rafael Moreira (Rock Star house band), Joe Holmes (Ozzy Osbourne,
David Lee Roth), Joel Whitley (Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill), Justin Derrico (Pink),
singer/actress/John Denver ex-wife Cassandra Delaney, Matchbox Twenty drummer
Paul Doucette, Sean Matthew Landon (Michael Landon’s son), Austin Ward (Sela
Ward’s son), and even Martin Chirac (grandson of the former President of France,
Jacques Chirac).
