When Django Reinhardt "fathered" Gypsy Jazz along with Stephane Grappelli and The Quintet of The Hot Club of France in the 1930's it was just called jazz. It is now a genre known for soulful ballads and driving swing\, with fiery solos \n \nThis class is an introduction to the basic elements that distinguish Gypsy Jazz from other genres. We will focus mainly on the unique Gypsy Rhythm known as la pompe\, the foundation of the entire genre as commonly known today. We will explore various ways to play and styles of rhythm\, common chords used\, and lastly a very brief intro to soloing in the style. \n \nTo get the most out of this class participants should be comfortable playing typical guitar chords and strumming. Some experience with picking melodies\, and barre chords is helpful but not necessary. This class will focus on playing\, the how more than the why\, though the why will often be mentioned. Any acoustic guitar will be fine for this class. \n \n4 weeks \n \nWeek 1: Gypsy Jazz Style\, La Pompe\, Power Chord of GJ \n \nla pompe: downstroke style \n \npowerchord of gypsy jazz #1 \n \nminor swing \n \nWeek 2: La Pompe styles\, Another \n \nla pompe: upstroke style \n \npowerchord of gypsy jazz #2 \n \nDark Eyes \n \nWeek 3: Other Gypsy Rhythm Styles \n \nVarying la pompe \n \nA few more chords \n \nGypsy Bossa\, Rumba \n \nSwing Gitane played as swing\, bossa\, and rumba \n \nBossa Dorado if time permits \n \nWeek 4: Other Chord Forms\, Intro To Gypsy Picking and Soloing \n \nrest stroke picking \n \nstylistic basics in the genre \n \nsome basic triads and tetrads on which to bass soloing \n \nwrapup \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n	\n					\n				Streaming\n			\n			\n	 \n\n\n \n	\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Mandolin Vitamins – Tunes\, Techniques and Ensemble Music\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 11 • 10 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Clawhammer Banjo with Carolyn Shapiro\n\n				American Roots Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 12 • 3 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		After School Folk Ensemble with James Gascoyne and Oona Grady\n\n				American Roots Bluegrass Celtic Country Folk Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 13 • 2:30 PM
