Thank you Yaakov, you are the best gypsy jazz instructor on CZcams!

Very great teacher

2. Guitarist bad time

You make this seem so easy, Dr. Y. You saved me 100+ years of catch-up study!

I am new to gypsy jazz and play the baritone ukulele and your video is awesome. It has helped me learn so much thank you.

Thank you so much Yaakov for your fantastic lesson. Your explanation about Arpeggios Transition absolutely blew my mind. It is the first time that i understand the concept. Thank you for this pure Generosity.

Yakoov, you are great! Not only do you play fantastic in the Django style, you know all the theory too ! Super

Great information thanks. I play ukulele so I am having a go on a baritone uku 👍😁🥂

Awesome lesson 👍

WOW!!!

C Best!

Yaakov is a great one on one coach as well. And his courses really explain the music well.

Yakov Kol Hakvod,What’s the theory behind the half step below and one step above? how come it sounds so good? and why are you using gMaj7 and not g7? isn’t blues/jazz is using 7 chords and not Maj7? תודה רבה אתה אלוף👏👏👏👏👏👏🤦🏻‍♂️

Cool lick. Thank you 🖤

Excellent!

Great video. You are doing exactly what Louis Armstrong once said many years ago about improvising: "First I learn the melody. Then I play around with the melody. Then I play around with the melody some more!"

Excellent video, thank you. This is a fantastic exercise that I have not seen explained before. This is definitely a major part of Django's improvisation. Django did not go to music school and did not read music, but it is obvious he learned and understood the advanced musical principles you are demonstrating from trained musicians like Stephane Grappelli, who graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris. (PS---- did you know that Stephane Grappelli once played on a Pink Floyd album? What a great musician he was, and how fortunate for musical history that he met Django)

Thanks man , such a valuable lesson . No one has explained these concepts this simply. Forever grateful 🙏🏽

Toda raba

Yaakov is a great teacher of music.

Always great information.

Clear, detailed and inspiring - thanks for posting!

Very nice 👍🏻

My solos have gotten much more tatsy since listening to even just a few of your lessons. Some approachs that you use ive already learned as a younger player. Except this time ive opened up even more cool phrasing....thank you 💕

1947?i think 1937 ❤😉

Yaakov das ist wunderbar mit viel Seele ❤️

Like your stile of expleining! Good luck!

Doubt django had clue about music theory . Millions of copycats like this guy

This is an extremely good lesson for beginning/intermediate guitar players wanting to understand improvising. These simple shapes actually open the door to a lot more complex possibilities than they initially display. You also have the octaves below and above all these notes. It's a great introduction to learning the notes within the chords like "b3" and "b7" instead of just using visual dot patterns. Then by adding extensions, rhythm, enclosures, chromatics, etc and learning the chord changes in songs in different keys, this is truly a great system.

You are a serious dude!! Love ya, man. Thanks for your insights

This is excellent man. Excellent. Clear and concise.

Very easy

Gypsy is a slur. Django was Roma. The name needs to change as appropriate. It’s comparable to Kike for Jews.

Truly inspiring. Did you hear Birelli using these voicings on Nuages?

Great lesson. Thanks.

Thanks❤

Playing with Bireli Yaakov and Band woohoo!

Grande Bireli! Great tune and wonderfully playing from all!

Bravo !

Bravo!!!

You make it look so much easier than it is!

Unbelievable ❤

Pure genious
