Career
An Elvis fan, Goodrick began studying guitar in his pre-teens and was performing professionally a few years later.
When he was sixteen, he became interested in jazz at a Stan Kenton Band Camp. He attended the Berklee College of
Music from 1963–1967. He taught at Berklee, then spent a few years touring with Gary Burton. After returning to
Boston, he settled into a career largely as an educator.[1]

Goodrick has had many notable students, including Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Julian Lage, John Scofield, Lage Lund,
Mike Stern, Avner Strauss, and Rale Micic. His first book, The Advancing Guitarist, is an instruction manual for
guitarists of all styles. He has also written a series of books addressing the intricacies of harmonic voice leading.

Goodrick worked with Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra during the 1980s and early 1990s, with Jack
DeJohnette in the late 1980s, and with Steve Swallow in the late 1990s. He performed in a duo with Pat Metheny at
the Monterey Jazz Festival in 2005 and with Wolfgang Muthspiel at the Jazz Standard in 2008.[1]
