I designed the Gypy Jazz First Aid Kit to help you in a jam session. Download the booklet on your phone and bring it as a reference.
In the Studio, I take more time to highlight concepts from each chapter and explain them to you.  Every month I will be adding more topics that will help you on your gypsy jazz journey – from basic tricks and cool licks to more advanced concepts such as substitutions and the Diminished.
Choose a topic and explore what’s there – happy browsing!
