Don't pass it up. In this one, the basic 1-4-5 blues progression is the starting point for a hands on demo walkthrough of how to take this basic progression and fill it in with more robust substitutions and exciting sounding background comping. The 9th, dim, aug and 6th cords are pressented in an easy to digest, follow, and incorporate series of demo's. The instructor describes what is going on so you can create this type of movement in your own arrangements.The teaching style of having a "live" student asking questions during the dvd instruction, tries to create the feel that you are sitting in on an actual lesson. This works really well here as the instructor and student have good chemistry and the exchange keeps the information from becoming dry. It also helps pace the demo's as the teacher plays, then the student and teacher play together, which actually helps give you a bit more time to play along without having to continually replay demos that often seem a bit too short for new material on some of the other dvd's I've had.I'm about half way through on this dvd today, and already I am here ordering the next level intermediate dvd cause this one is that good - I want to keep on learning from this guy! The pressentation is really well done, and the notation materials are excellent. The "book", is a full sized book - which is beyond the norm - this is not just a collection of "reminder" highlight notes in a half size booket insert, as comes with some other dvd video instructions. In addition to being full sized, these materials are well organized, easy to read, and include narrative text and explainations.Bottom line: very nice instructional product of a really great and useful topic. In fact, even if you don't want to play this particular style in depth, the chord substitution theory is well worth the time and price of this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for experienced guitarists *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2008* I've had this product for only two days and I'm burning through it. I once had a professor that said something like: People that understand a topic best can explain it in the simplest terms. That rings true with Jorgenson's approach. I don't site read music, but I understand basic harmonic theory. Most of the chords weren't too foreign to me. I'd spent a little time with some other Gypsy Jazz learning material, but was very quickly bewildered and exhausted by the effort. With this stuff, on the second day (some 2 hours into the material) I was already playing solos along with the practice CD.I think there is a skill spectrum where this set can be most effective. The student on the DVD, Brad Davis, picks things up faster than I can. He's a pro and a really good player. I think he's at the top of the spectrum and I'm probably near the bottom. This set is for intermediate players, at least. If you are a guitar beginner, certainly pick something else.I almost bought a cheaper learning DVD for Gypsy Jazz, but then I caught this on checkout (Thanks Amazon!). It's more expensive, but in this case, it's entirely worth it. I'm finally getting close to my dream of being able to play music by the most important jazz guitar player of all time. That's just plain cool and Jorgenson deserves some kind of educational award. I've purchased a good deal of instructional DVDs for guitar by all kinds of players and I think this is the best one. There's a difference between being a really good player and being a great teacher; Jorgenson is both.I can't wait to devour this first "beginning" pack so I can get to the second. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is a great place to start *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2015* Firstly, this is not a beginner's book/CD/DVD. It also does not teach you to play "songs". This is a theory package, very well done and informative. It gives you the "building blocks" needed to enter into the fascinating world of Gypsy Jazz guitar. If you have an interest in this genre, this is a great place to start, but I would strongly recommend that you have some guitar experience under your belt before embarking on this journey. Be prepared for learning new chord fingerings and solo fingerings. Remember, when Django Reinhardt invented this style, he had no use of his third and fourth fingers of his left hand (tendon injuries sustained from burns). He used his thumb for some chords as he was unable to play bar chords (a slight stumbling block if you are strong on playing bar chords) and his soloing was very linear, utilizing his first and second fingers (it does make a lot of sense when you do it.) This volume does not really get into Django's technique or soloing as it is mainly focused at getting the "rhythm" of this style under your belt first. I am looking forward to the intermediate package which delves deeper into the world of Gypsy Jazz. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/16125648-intro-to-gypsy-jazz-guitar-with-john-jorgenson-paperback-march](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/16125648-intro-to-gypsy-jazz-guitar-with-john-jorgenson-paperback-march) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
