Wolf Marshall
Internationally acclaimed as both a premier guitarist and one of the most influential guitar historians of our time, Wolf Marshall has shaped the education of generations of players. For over two decades, his monthly columns in Vintage Guitar magazine and his tenure as the founder of GuitarOne have made his name synonymous with elite musical analysis. A highly prolific author, Marshall created the legendary Signature Licks series for Hal Leonard, authoring definitive, step-by-step breakdowns and transcriptions celebrating the foundational vocabularies of jazz icons like Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Pat Martino, and Charlie Christian. Beyond his massive publishing footprint, he is a deeply respected performing artist who has shared the stage with greats such as B.B. King and John Pisano, and he currently brings his immense pedagogical expertise to the academic world as a faculty member of the UCLA Jazz Guitar Department. Bringing a profound, dual perspective as a world-class practitioner and a master archivist, Marshall’s presence offers an unparalleled educational experience for intermediate and advanced students alike.
