In these sessions, you'll also get tools to deal with other aspects of your playing that might distract you from achieving that freedom.

About the Course

This is a 3-day on-line LIVE bootcamp taking you through my proven process to let you master Rest-Stroke Picking in just three days. PLUS - you'll build your 18-minute daily practice routine to master ALL the Arpeggio shapes you need, over the next few months. 

Don't think it's possible? Think again! I'll prove it to you! (In fact, I already proved it a year ago and we'll do it again!)

You'll discover how to keep your posture consistent, get good tone and build up speed, especially when it comes to real- world gigging situations, when your picking technique fails and you revert to your old habitual picking method to keep up, losing your rich Gypsy jazz tone.

  • What exactly is Gypsy picking? How do you do it? Does it really make a difference to use the traditional Gypsy picking rather than classic alternative picking?

  • Reduce the tension in your arm while playing. With this approach, you'll never play too hard, getting that noise and buzz from your strings, even when you get too excited and nervous.

  • How to play arpeggios from high strings to low strings when you don't use alternate picking and there is no backwards sweep, even if it seems that it's easier with your regular picking method (alternate, flatpicking or other).

  • Master an accurate technique that keeps your arm, shoulder and neck relaxed while building speed.

  • Double Downstrokes - How to return from the treble to the bass string, especially when you play triplets and even if you are used to playing it with up-strokes using your alternate picking technique.

  • Discover the optimal thickness for your pick and how to hold it properly and stop dropping the pick or getting it caught, which might cause you to be late for the next note.

  • Get corrective feedback to eliminate the risk of practicing wrong and ingraining a technique that won't give you the results you want.

  • How to play loud enough to be heard during fast solos, even if you now find your lines get a bit muddy, instead of nice and clean.

  • Speed Up Without a Stumble: The "Speeding Up Hack" to get enough speed while staying loose

  • The Pro Mindset for efficient practice time - what to focus your mind on when practicing to automate your technique so you're not thinking, but only listening.


I also want to let you know that you can proceed today completely protected by my unconditional 100% money back guarantee.

FAQ

  • What if I can't make it live?

    You'll have a complete recording at the end of each day. Need to review, stop and slow down at times? Couldn’t make it to the LIVE session? I’ve got your back! BUT - A HUGE part of the bootcamp is going through the process LIVE, with me and getting my feedback on the spot. So, if you can't join live, it's recommended to view it as if you were joining live and post a short video of your playing to the Facebook group (or to my email) to get your feedback.

  • What Are The Tech Requirements?

    The boot camp will all be live via Zoom. So all you need is your laptop, smartphone or tablet, whatever is convenient for you. Your device's camera and microphone are good enough.

  • Are We Going to Learn Anything Other Than Picking and Arpeggios?

    Yes! We will have two "Candy Breaks" a day where I'll be giving you a mini-lesson on topics of your choice. 6 mini-lessons in all. And, because of the nature of live teaching, there will be many more side benefits, because I will have time to get deeply into each subject.

  • How Can I Get Feedback on My Playing, Yaakov? Is It Going To Be Interactive?

    Absolutely! I will see you and hear you and you'll get personal feedback from me all the time. You will practice a lot and I'll be following your progress every stage of the way, PLUS- you'll be able to share your playing with me to review even a month after the bootcamp ends.

  • I'm a Beginner - is it right for me?

    This course is suitable for all levels. We start from the very basic movements of Rest-Stroke Picking and learning how to do it right from the start will save you a lot of frustration as you progress; there will be nothing in your technique that might hold you back.

  • I'm an Advanced Guitarist - Do I Have Anything to Gain from This?

    Yes! The big mistake that I see people make is that they get caught-up in bad habits and skip the fundamental steps that can get them to play the way they wish to. If you are here - it means that there is still something in your technique that is holding you back. So, this is your perfect opportunity to replace those bad habits and really enjoy your own playing, even if you've been feeling that you could never reach pro level.

  • Can I Download the recordings of the bootcamp to my Computer and Save it for Life?

    Yes! The bootcamp is yours and you can use it as long as you wish! You can download it and you can watch it online.

  • DoesZ it Work on Tablet and Smartphone?

    Yes! You can view the LIVE Zoom sessions and the recordings of the bootcamp from any device.

  • I already have so many things to practice... I haven't even finished some of your other courses....

    Well... this bootcamp will actually help you complete the other courses you have. Because once you've mastered your technique, your learning and your progress will be much faster.

Testimonials

“Yaakov’s bootcamp has taken my learning experience to the next level. I had never recorded my playing on video before nor shared it online with others. But using my cellphone I was ready to go in seconds, not minutes. With the help of Yaakov and his online group I suddenly see lots of improvements in a short period of time. I now enjoy every step along the way. Thank you Yaakov”

“As a Gypsy Jazz beginner I am blown away that my technique has improved so drastically in such a short time - a testament to Yaakov’s fantastic teaching. Yaakov provides attentive and precise feedback on individual technique and areas to improve. The opportunity to watch him work with other students is inspiring and I gained much insight from common difficulties many if us share. I highly recommend Yaakov’s live workshops and courses.”

“The Live Bootcamps are something to look forward to all week. When you attend a live meeting there is an excitement that you get from Yaakov directly answering your comments live and actually using your name to invite you on to share what you've learned. It's makes everything so much more real and personal to have one of the world's top gypsy jazz teachers directly helping give you personal tips, directions, and goals. ”

Testimonials

“Having learned picking from you, a surprising benefit is that the tone that I have achieved really helps for everything related to ear training. I can learn and remember so many phrases and tunes because I can play them clearly and precisely. Because of your guidance, I know what to work on to improve. Thank you for the wonderful start and I look forward to joining more bootcamps in the future!”

“Another fine workshop from Yaakov, this time on the oh so important element of rhythm in Gypsy Jazz, Yaakov has the ability to focus on the basic movements, really breaks it down, so you can build from the bottom up. All this without getting academic, and keeping it fun. If you are a student like me, who can play a fair bit already, but need structure, you can’t go wrong with a workshop like this!”

“Yaakov´s live online Bootcamp was a very useful. Keeping up with the others students progress was both - fun and motivating. I think the online live workshop gave all members a boost in their playing and our progress during these sessions was impressive. Yaakov was always there with his answers and comments: he knows exactly what advice to give to improve your playing”
