You are just moments away from having unique access to the world’s first online learning community for gypsy jazz guitarists.
Our members have 24/7 access to lessons from gypsy jazz guitar masters Lollo Meier and Fapy Lafertin covering the essential rhythms and techniques of the challenging style.
We also have chord charts and transcriptions written by Denis Chang and other members of the academy support staff.
All members can upload videos of their progress for Lollo to appraise and have the facility to post questions in the site forums or to talk with him when he’s online. All for the fraction of the price of private lessons and a trip to Europe.
Subscribers have access to lessons on:
- Mastering the Django swing rhythm
- How to make the rhythm swing
- Tremolo and right hand techniques to build stamina and tone
- Gypsy and swing waltz rhythm lessons
- Minor Swing- Lollo’s thought’s on playing over this classic melody (with a transcription by Denis Chang).
- Django’s Tiger- Lollo’s reharmonised chords and new solo melody with chord charts and transcriptions.
- Lady Be Good- Live performance clip in New York, lesson on the chord changes along with chord chart.
- Play-alongs- free resources for study including Minor Swing, Nuages and Douce Ambience....
- We also have an interview with Lollo where he gives advice of practicing and answers questions about his experiences as a professional gypsy jazz guitarist.
New lessons and content are added almost every day!
Here is what one subscriber said about how the academy is helping him to learn gypsy jazz guitar.
“What I really like about GJA is it is so interactive, Lollo talks to us and demonstrates how to do things (like right hand rhythm) and then maybe I ask a question (about how to hold the pick) and the next day I find Lollo’s answer - a little video he has just made to show me. And of course everyone can see it.
Also the student can make a little video and put it up and ask Lollo for feedback, and the next day Lollo makes some comments about it, so it is really direct teaching
And there are lots of extras like good play along tracks, photos, clips of performances, videos, forums, and the What’s New thing grows every day I
And like the best academies, this place feels so good as soon as you walk through the door.....You feel welcome, you feel motivated, you feel inspired.....Every time you go through the door there is new stuff there ....The GJA is a great new concept for direct learning of great gypsy jazz....”
