Practical, no B.S. advice, this.
Also, since you're getting into gypsy jazz, John Jorgenson has several video instruction clips out there, and a couple of in depth DVDs, too.
Jorgenson has an amiable, easy-to-follow manner.
Joscho Stephan, the great European gypsy jazz guitarist, has this learning website:

And, of course, we are all fortunate that Django Reinhardt, the touchstone, made as many video performances as he did, all those years ago.
