Christiaan Van Hemert Guitar Workshop in Denver Colorado | September 16

Hugh Huffaker

For all of the Rocky Mtn. gypsy jazz guitar players who missed DIJ this year, we are happy to announce that Christiaan Van Hemert will be giving a workshop on the "Van Hemert System" of gypsy jazz guitar on Friday September 16th at the Denver Music Institute. The workshop will begin at 7 PM and is expected to last 3.5 hours. The cost is $75 and will include a ton of material and pdf’s.

The first part of the workshop will deal with understanding and developing correct, efficient and precise right hand technique.

In the second part, we will explore the “van Hemert system”: a unique gypsy jazz guitar improvisation system that will enable you to reach a high level of guitar playing in a short time. All students will receive numerous detailed PDFs with the system written down to review at home. Open to players of all levels, from beginner to pro!

For tickets and more details, please visit our website at: https://www.gypsyjazzdenver.com/event/christiaan-van-hemert-workshop/

Hope you can make it out!

For you folks out there considering, it's worth listening to Christiaan speak on this and that $75 will give you more than just some PDFs. I feel that my explanation of the system would be a huge disservice to Christiaan and the potential attendees, but it definitely falls in line with Anders Ericsson's studies on peak performance. I will likely be attending the planned session he does in my area.

Will he be giving any more workshops here in the states? California?

Christiaan's classes at DiJ this year were very popular and well received. Highly recommended!

Welcome jackson! I believe there is a DG-250 still out there on Craigslist in Denver. I think this may be Luke Smith's guitar but I can't say for sure:

Anyone in Colorado Springs just getting together to jam for fun? Thanks.

Hugh Huffaker

@plexi69, there are a lot of jams in CO Springs. Talk to @nomadgtr, @tmaccaferrian, @Archtop Eddy. I think the Black Rose Acoustic Society puts some on as well.
