Summary of This Method
Designed for guitarists discovering gypsy jazz, this method quickly guides you towards the typical "swing" playing style. Even before tackling the repertoire, you take the time to adopt the right habits: holding the guitar correctly, tuning it, and understanding how to achieve a clear and steady sound. The goal is simple: to have you play credible phrases and accompaniments from the very first sessions, with a clear and motivating approach.
The technique specific to gypsy swing is studied progressively, with dedicated exercises to develop precision, consistency, and speed. You particularly work on the "buté" and the pick attack direction, essential for crisp articulation, as well as barre chords and the essential positions for accompaniment. The famous pompe manouche is explained to build a solid rhythmic placement, learn to "carry" the tempo, and support a melody with the right bounce.
On the musical side, the method emphasizes an immediately usable repertoire. You learn to play gypsy and Manouche melodies: Les deux guitares, Les yeux noirs, Bérusovie, Ne te presse pas, Soir de Moscou, Tu djaïal, Tchavo. Four gypsy swing pieces are also recorded: Seul à Paris, Gypsy swing, Latcho Niglo, Danse Norvégienne. Thanks to the DVD and audio tracks, you can listen, reproduce, then consolidate your skills by playing along with sound supports, developing your ear, sense of rhythm, and musicality.
