Hello friends,

I want to thank you all for your patience as Natalia and I wrapped up our anniversary in Paris. I had intended to get some videos shot during our stay there, but our hectic sight-seeing schedule kept me away from my guitar for most of the trip. The city proved to be a dynamic and unpredictable place, full of incredible places and people. You can CLICK HERE to check out my photography page, which includes images from many of the amazing locations we visited.

For today's lesson, I'll break down a flashy Django Reinhardt, gypsy jazz inspired lick in the key of Am. Let's get started!

Hey Blair, let me know how that goes, I don't think I'd be able to manage these ones, but I have done some licks from the John Jorgenson book that are done "django style." Next Gypsy lesson, I'll break down a few two finger licks!

Nice lesson. The link for the tabs doesn't work on multiple devices.

Hey Mike, have you worked through this issue? Have you clicked both links, the one beneath the video, and also the one within the description? In the past, this issue has been caused by security settings. If you are using apple devices, you may need to go into your ibooks to view the PDFs.

On Android it launches Firefox and goes to a page "File not found." On Apple I opened iBooks and Acrobat but I get an icon that goes in circles looking for it. I love this lesson and have memorized the tab from the video.

Hey Mike, here is the response I received from a Patreon rep: Evan Keith (Patreon) Oct 28, 9:55 AM PDT Hey Rob, The best thing would be to driect them to reach out to us as you have so we can see what exactly is going on with each of them. In the meantime though, I would tell them to following: "I would suggest using Google Chrome as your browser, disabling any adblockers you may have active, deleting all your cookies, and recaching your system. I say Google Chrome because it is the most compatible browser with our site and we have seen that very few issues arise when it is being used. I would also suggest disabling any VPN you may have active. These steps can usually help clear up any strange things that our site is doing - usually." That's my first suggest for trouble shooting. Hope this helps! All the best, Evan
