CURRICULUM AND SCHEDULE WITH JOHN JORGENSON-

John Jorgenson Gypsy Jazz Guitar

“Introduction to Gypsy-jazz Guitar” will be geared towards the player who is just starting to learn gypsy jazz and swing guitar, and will cover both rhythm and lead techniques. For rhythm playing, various chord shapes and patterns that can be utilized in many different songs will be demonstrated along with elementary music theory behind these progressions. In addition, the right hand rhythm patterns that are the very life blood of swing playing will be taught. The beginning lead guitarist will again be shown various scale and arpeggio combinations and how to use them over the most common chord changes in gypsy jazz music. Along with left hand fingering (including the “two-finger” and “four-finger” approaches) various right hand picking techniques will be taught (including “gypsy-picking” and alternate picking). After having taken this workshop, the student should be left with a good understanding of the elements that make up gypsy jazz and swing.
