The academy is mainly structured in songs but you will find different "technique" exercises as well. Just set your lesson filter to " Extra". There is a "Basic Gypsy Guitar" lesson available and Joscho will explain different techniques in detail. Please also check out the “Technique Class” by our guest teacher Mr. Sven Jungbeck.

I mostly play handcrafted guitars by Jürgen Volkert - Have a look, they are beautiful: www.volkert-guitars.de. Furthermore i use AER Amps, D´Addario Strings (Gypsy Swing 0.11), Wegen Pick (Big City Pick 1,8mm), Audio Technica AT831b Mic as a pickup mic, Headway eb2 preamp and a Tondexter for my pickup signal.

Everyone is different, so it always depends on your personal motivation and guitaristic experience. Some people learn a complete tune in some hours/days, some need more time. In addition to that, some students only learn parts of a specific tune while others are mostly interested in playing the rhythm guitar. With our academy we offer lessons everyone can participate in to support your guitar playing and personal progress.

Within your membership period, you get instant access to our complete lesson library. Besides the videos, each lesson includes sheet music, mp3 tracks, playalongs and special "Play With Joscho" tracks where you can accompany Joscho’s solo. In addition to that, you can access all guest lessons including guest appearances by Tommy Emmanuel, Bireli Lagrene, Stochelo Rosenberg, Olli Soikkeli, Richard Smith, Adam Rafferty or Gonzalo Bergara.
