“Enjoyed this course; the e-book was a helpful study guide. My takeaways were remembering to play always from the elbow and to practice each exercise with both hands!”

“During the last months I've neglected my gypsy guitar as I have been chasing other 'shiny objects'. Yaakov's invitation to this course was a welcome opportunity to dust off my guitar and return to studying gypsy jazz. As always with Yaakov's lessons this course is presented in easily understandable steps and in a fun way too. For me it is useful to get me back into the mood, and it helps me to go back to the basics and clean up my style. If you are new to gypsy jazz this course serves you well to give you a good introduction to this style, and be careful - you may get hooked ;-)”

“Yaakov Hoter's mini-course gave me access to beautiful music without dumbing anything down. The impro lesson was inspiring and helpful, just what I needed to feel I could sound good and keep going.”

“In only five cogent modules (broken down into digestible video clips) Yaakov demonstrates and explains the fundamentals of right-hand picking technique, “la Pompe” strumming, arpeggios applying right -hand pricing, basic arpeggio improvisation ideas, and an etude pulling it all together. Yaakov is an engaging instructor, never boring.”
