About

Hi, I'm Rami

I've spent 20+ years studying jazz guitar, teaching private students, and figuring out how to make modal improvisation click for intermediate players.

Guitar Tactics is where I share what actually works — the concepts, exercises, and mental frameworks that helped me (and my students) break out of pentatonic boxes and start sounding like ourselves.

Based in Chicago. Teaching in-person and online.
