I'm lucky to have Professor Betz as the small ensemble instructor at my community college. Despite saying "I can't play drums", he always manages to lay down an awesome groove whenever our drummer is absent. He also helps our bass player in coming up with effective lines to the pieces we play. He's sat down at the piano once or twice and showed me chords and better voicings I could use for comping.

Betz isn't just an amazing guitarist, he knows all facets of jazz like it's his life and soul.
