A complete Gypsy Jazz beginner guide by an intermediate beginner. I have been playing the Gypsy Jazz guitar music style for four years in total now and have visited tons of workshops and followed many online courses. Out of all these resources, I put together my own practice routine and collection of dos and don'ts when learning to play and study the style. I like to share with you what I have learned along the way in this video.
