Workshops >>> POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE <<<
Andreas Öberg - Gypsy Fire 1 & 2
In Gypsy Fire, the most recent Djangobooks publication, Andreas Öberg in collaboration with Michael Horowitz have produced a terrific new resource for aspiring Gypsy Jazz guitarists. Gypsy Fire is a collection of melodic patterns and arpeggios that are typical of both contemporary GJ players and those who inspired them.
In two clinics, Andreas Öberg will go over selections from this material as well as introducing new material that was not included in the book. Although the general thrust of workshops will be the same - a focus on idiomatic patterns and arpeggios and their application to standard GJ repertoire - in Gypsy Fire 1, Andreas will approach the material in such a way that newcomers to the style will get a good introduction. In Gypsy Fire 2 he will assume that participants have been working with this type of material for some time and that folks are looking to take their playing to the next level. In Gypsy Fire 2, Andreas will also speak more about tools and devices for GJ improvisation.
Gonzalo Bergara - The Gypsy Swing Workshop
My main interest is to show you how to teach yourself to play this stuff, share all the advice that has helped me tremendously through all this time. There are two main subjects I'd like to cover, technique and knowledge.
During the technique section we'll talk about both right hand and left hand. We all know how important the right hand is for this style so we have to get that right. The left hand we'll cover fingering, ways to connect all together, vibrato, timing and whatever else we can think of.
The knowledge section is about getting really familiar with the notes on your guitar. You need to know the neck of the guitar better than you know your name. How to practice!!! There are many many tips on how to practice more efficiently. I also want to talk about swing!! Django was always swinging.
Finally we'll cover melodies, how to be more musical, to understand TENSION AND RELEASE and to start making music in a guitar solo.
