The backup band is a classic Hot Club-style rhythm section with two acoustic rhythm guitars and string bass. (The ensemble also includes rhythm mandolin.) Finally, the band plays several choruses, and you play all the leads. Songs may be repeated, at slow or regular speed, as many times as you wish to perfect phrases, melodies, and solos in a band context. Potential for improvement is unlimited. Beginners in the style can practice basic skills while more advanced players can hone their improvisation chops, each at their own individual learning pace.

Finally, a great method which will show you how to play the acoustic jazz guitar in the style of players like Django Reinhardt, Oscar Alleman and Eddie Lang - their style is characterized by a powerful rhythm guitar and a vital swinging single-note solo line. Due to the fact that it can be very hard to master the original transcriptions, this book simplifies this style without losing the essence of the original sound. Written in standard notation and TAB, the material can be played by students and players that master the easy to intermediate level on plectrum style jazz guitar. All titles are included on the audio download available online, as well as some play along tracks which offer a great possibility to improvise on typical gypsy chord changes and rhythms.
