Little helper to learn and practise Manouche guitar

This part of the Serendipity site is dedicated to Manouche Guitar, in the limit of my own knowledge. Actually, for the time being, I don't play in this style in concert with Serendipity. For your info. At least not yet, but as soon as I feel I'm skilled enough, we'll do something about it. Manouche music touches me deeply so for now, I focus on learning the style and because of the scarcity of resources over the Internet, I reckoned that I could help in my own little way, in a similar fashion as open source software. As good as I can though.

DISCLAIMER: To make things clear right from the start, I want to emphasize that the resources available on this site reflect my musical level, which is what it is and not more. I do not teach music in my life, and I only started learning Manouche in July last year, so I'm quite a rookie in that respect even though I spend a lot of energy in learning. There might even be mistakes in which case I'll be more than happy if someone could pinpoint them sending e an email at caroffyhotmail.com. You can also contact me if you'd like me to develop an existing topic, or to talk about something which is obviously not there already. If I can do it, then I'll do it. Also, note that the contents of this site are being updated often, as I plan to add new exercises, licks and topics here and there.

As always, progress commes with regular work and by sticking to a good method. I particularly recommend working with a metronome, and above all not playing faster than one can (I know it's sometiomes hard to resist). If the exercises look too difficult, don't get disheartened, just go on working slowly. It's very likely we won't become Biréli or Angelo, so in essence, play happy!

Enough yakking around, let's get started on one the available work topics.
