“Jeff Powers is one of Rockwired’s “25 Guitarists You Gotta Know”…his self-titled release is an engaging listen that will leave the listener amazed at the guitarist’s musicality and virtuosity as well as his tremendous sense of songcraft.” Brian Lush ROCKWIRED MAGAZINE

"There’s nothing like finding out about a little known but awesome talent and get to be the one telling the world about them. It doesn’t happen very often but, when it does, it’s a real personal treat. This is one of those cases. To put it short and sweet, Jeff Powers is awesome and his new, self-titled CD is an excellent showcase of his incredible talent." Randy Patterson Boomerocity (May 27, 2012)

“The sound recalls Stevie Ray Vaughan's Tex-Mex style, hell-fire blues drunk on mescal, loud enough to raise Johnny Winter from the grave (if he were actually dead). From the blues-swing shuffle of "Pocket Full of Money" to the Latino instrumental "Aztec Trot (Jose's Boogie)" — something you might encounter after drinking Mexican water — Cold Wind in Cleveland is a spicey blend of blues stew, spiked with Powers' edgy guitar style. ” — Keith Gribbins, Cleveland Scene Magazine

Love Teaching The Little People

Pentatonic (E Minor) Lesson for Billy

I'm showing a few basic concepts to help someone start improvising...playing lead guitar. I started with (Em7-A) ala Down By The River to get an easy feel for E minor Pentatonic and E minor. Yeah I know I look like Grizzly Adams.

The Thrill Is Gone Live @ Cook County Jail

When I teach I like to listen to the song, riff or the solo that the student is interested in and learn it note for note then write it down right then and there That way they can see how I transcribe, the way I find the details and also watch the fingering that I'm using to produce the tone and touch that's needed For that particular piece of music. I hand it to them and show them how it's fingered and how exactly to play it the way the artist plays it. Here is the intro solo to the " thrill is gone" live at the cook county jail...it's not perfect I need to go over it but basically that's the way B.B. plays it. He performs it differently on Live at Cook County Jail than he does on the studio version record...it's a beautiful intro! I did this for John "the Biker" and he fixed my Z-Amp.
