Summary of This Method
This book highlights the fundamentals of Django Reinhardt's style and gypsy jazz, aimed at guitarists who wish to go beyond chord charts and understand what truly makes the gypsy tradition "sound." The author, Stephane Wrembel, shares experience gained through contact with gypsy musicians in France, thanks to years of jam sessions and study with masters of the genre.
The method offers a clear progression, designed to integrate the gypsy language in a structured way: stylistic elements, playing logic, and practical application through musical examples. Each concept is supported by excerpts in standard notation and tablature, suitable both for readers comfortable with music reading and for guitarists oriented towards tablature. The goal is to develop solid musical understanding and more idiomatic playing, especially regarding tone, accentuation, and rhythmic placement characteristic of gypsy swing.
Designed for intermediate to advanced level, this method is intended for guitarists already familiar with jazz harmony and note locations on the fretboard. Access to online audio complements the learning: ideal for working on listening skills, checking the sound, and approaching articulation and phrasing as closely as possible. A comprehensive resource to progress in gypsy jazz guitar, in the spirit of a living style that continues to evolve, notably in France and the Netherlands.
