Lesson 1: Rhythm
$29.95Learn this powerful guitar style typified by Django Reinhardt. Gain a practical understanding of this music through a detailed exploration of both the rhythmic variations of the accompanying guitar patterns as well as improvised soloing.
Learn the trademark sounds that "put the Gypsy in Gypsy swing." Songs include classics such as "Minor Blues." "Oriental Shuffle" and "I'll See You In My Dreams."
-
Lesson 2 : Soloing
$29.95This fascinating look at the art of improvisation in the Gypsy jazz tradition shows you how to really swing! Paul Mehling, leader of the Hot Club of San Francisco, has a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of this powerful and infectious style, and he provides a wealth of information and playing tips to get you off to a solid start.
Before long, you’ll be playing exciting solos in the style typified by Django Reinhardt, Birelli Lagrenne and other hot players of this dynamic genre. You’ll learn the theory and playing techniques behind the music, including the exercises, scales, modes and arpeggiated picking (“the heart of the Reinhardt style”) that will allow you to come up with your own improvisations. He includes advice on fingering, use of the metronome, singing your solos and how to “focus your attention so your hands can play what your ears hear.”
Paul teaches the special elements that give this music its distinctive ring: “sweep” picking, ornaments (glissandos, trills, bends, tremolo, vibrato, etc.), diminished and augmented runs, triplets and the other special sounds that “put the Gypsy in Gypsy swing.” Includes some hot jamming with Paul and Tony Mandraccia, rhythm guitar.

Lesson 3 : Pick Power
$29.95Guitarists - take control of your pick technique. Paul Mehling has developed a powerful series of exercises and practice regimens that will help all plectrum (flatpick) guitarists play with greater strength, speed, expressiveness and authority.
Paul provides many paths to success for players at all levels. He shows you the basics - how to grip the pick and maintain proper hand and arm positions for fluid playing and to avoid tension and fatigue. He then takes you through a graduated series of chord and single string exercises to get your mind and hand working together. These include strumming and damping, scales, chromatic exercises, “speed blasts,” arpeggios, tremolo, sweep picking and much more.
Whether, like Paul Mehling, you are into Gypsy Jazz, or you play bluegrass, rock or swing, this lesson will give you the tools you'll need to get your rhythm strong and your lead picking fast and accurate.

Arpeggio Power!
$29.95“Arpeggios are the DNA of music.”
— Paul MehlingArpeggios (chords played as individual notes) are an indispensable component of music and can become an invaluable tool in your musical bag of tricks. Many melodies are built upon arpeggios, and their intervals and patterns are the key to understanding improvisation. In short, arpeggio knowledge can set you apart from other guitar players.
Paul Mehling has methodically created a program of drills and exercises that “connect the dots,” offering a disciplined approach to practicing for guaranteed results. He starts you off with basic first-position chords, then works his way through increasingly more complex chord forms, from open position to closed shapes moving freely up the neck. He covers major, minor, 6th, dominant 7th, diminished and other arpeggiated chord forms.
Throughout the lesson, Paul provides numerous tips and points of advice to help you build your playing chops and increase your familiarity with the guitar fretboard. You’ll learn to understand how each chord is built and how improvisation grows out of these exercises.
Guitarists at all levels will gain knowledge of the fingerboard, improve improvisational skills and build left- and right-hand power and speed.
