10 Weeks of Django Reinhardt

🎸 10 Weeks of Django Reinhardt

with Frank Vignola

A Deep Dive into the Swing, Fire, and Lyricism of a Gypsy Jazz Legend

Hi, I’m Frank Vignola—and I’m excited to invite you on a ten-week journey into the music of one of the most influential guitarists of all time: Django Reinhardt.

In the year 2020/2021, I was inspired to host ten week Zoom study programs based on a great composer and or instrumentalist. All sessions were  recorded and are now available for all to learn from.

Over the course of ten weeks, we’ll explore ten classic Django tunes, building your technique, expanding your phrasing vocabulary, and deepening your understanding of swing rhythm and gypsy jazz harmony. Each week features a focused lesson designed to help you internalize Django’s language—while learning to make it your own.

🎶 What You’ll Receive:

• 10 classic Django songs, including Nuages, Sweet Chorus, Swing 42, and more
• Full performance videos of each arrangement
• Step-by-step lesson videos with in-depth guidance
• Chord charts, lead sheets, and TAB (PDF)
• Backing tracks with a pro rhythm section
• All song charts combined for easy reference
• Q&A breakdowns from the original live program

All downloads come in high-quality MP4 and PDF format, with lifetime access.
