Sounds great! I just bought a Gitane 350 D hole guitar and was going to purchase the K&K Definity pickups to go with it but K&K discontinued that pickup last year :(

Old video, still good video. Thanks for posting!

There's a lot of resonance with the floating wrist, thats well good. So if you're on electric archtop are ya using a bit more right hand palm muting? Would you carry on using rest stroke or go more alternate picking? Thanks for the bril content, from Devon.

thanks

Great video! As a player using gypsy jazz picking technique,it's what I was looking for! For bebop playing,or simply for playing saxophone,clarinet,etc lines on the guitar,we have to find some tricks. As you say,playing odd number of notes on the same string is hard. A trick I found is sometimes to play big intervals on the same string to keep an even number of notes on it,which implies quite a lot of left hand moving!Another thing is using hammers-ons and pull-offs as you said. Sometimes even taking off a note by playing a dead note instead of one which would have needed to be played with an upstroke on a lower string (awful movement if you use gypsy picking). I feel a number of notes on bebop heads for example are more for rhythmic effect,as you showed on "Moose the Mooche",so taking some off doesn't harm the general feeling,and it keeps swinging. But of course quite often we have to break the rules,for example attacking an upper string with an upstroke. I am glad you said you thought that gypsy picking is a powerful technique for jazz,not just gypsy. Gypsy picking is hard to master, and I don't feel like using a completely different one when playing some bebop stuff,I prefer trying to see what the gypsy technique can allow me to do (it's quite a lot!). Cheers!

Great lesson, wonder why it came up in my feed today? lol... the more years I play (going on 50), the more I have reduced the number of chords in a progression, really, it all comes down to the I and the V chord, or the ultimate distillation to the diminished leading tone. Chords go by so fast, I am trying to play ahead and come up with lines that resolve across the measures and creates a pulse with the harmony... still trying after 50 years....

I had that same guitar

Django did not follow any rules on how to pick he played what he thought was right and he always was it was gypsy guitarists who followed in his giant footsteps who laid down the rules. if Django had copied other guitarists you would not have heard of him

thank you so much. after playing flamenco for twenty years now, I want to put my attention on Django for a while.

Is this neylon guitar?

Wow that K&K sounds really good! I may just use that on my Danelectro Convertible!! How much heavy lifting is that LR Baggs pre doing? I have an old Fishman aura kicking around...

Great video! I appreciate your tips on helping me improve my skills. I feel I have a more enriched understanding of my musicianship In all genres. Thank you.

Greek bouzouki players and Turkish Laouto also using that particular technique, I believe sweep picking is a better technique, cuz even you the master of guitar have problems with Gypsy jazz right hand technique , and in the same moment your sweep picking has no problems at all when you played arpeggios 😉

Excellent lesson!

Really useful video thank you 😊

Brilliant lesson.... Delightful and hugely informative... Just what I needed on my bop quest.. Respect and thanks. Ps I have a Zoller pickup as well on my Epiphone H Roberts archtop... Very cool sounds to be sure. Gday from Auckland

Gracias por la explicación!! Saludos

VERY HELPFUL THANKS A LOT!

Thankyou so much for your simple playing & taeching

Simon sinek plays guitar!

Good review,the rode is the most nature sound,greetings from holland

Why can we do Down up down, up down up , up down up , from high notes ? And has to be Down up down, down up down ? We are losing time with that Down stroke

Rare and great advice. Many thanks.

Excellent lesson. Thanks !

Very good video 👍

Thanx;well enunciated in a relaxed manner.👍🪃🦘

do you give skype lessons? i have a lot of time this year and would need guidance. the vids are amazing btw thx

👏👏

what about the salad?

I noticed you changed your channel's name! I too started looking at Gypsy Jazz. Real nice music and history!

Cool guitar

Audiotechnica pro 70 is fantastic for this . I also have a Krivo djangobucker as well which is also killer for electric sound . I avoid piezo like the plague

Thanks, perhaps you could show these exercises with better camera angle and slow down a bit. Many thanks ....

"Don't use wrist rotation to play rhythm guitar" >Cory Wong has entered the chat

That's fun idea, nice job. You'll get in the groove of this meter much easier if you're counting 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2. One of the most famous examples is Macedonian song Jovano, Jovanke.

Came for the Tonedexter, stayed for the Gypsy guitar. You're great!

Minor 7 arpeggio is just the minor pentatonic without the 3rd note of the minor pentatonic scale.

Hi there, I have a similar guitar (for my budget), a Greco N60. What strings would you recommend for the swing style? Proper carved acoustic archtops are a bit hard to come by in my country. Thanks. Great lesson by the way!

too long winded

This is a great lesson! Thanks!

bruh, this lesson is fire..... personally I see it translating to just about every genre there is..... thanks a grip man

Difficult to follow. A bit awkward presentation. Firstly calm down. You don't have to play so fast because this is a tutorial. No shame in playing a bit slower. Quite a few times it goes wrong.

that guitar is so niiice

Thank you so much for your very simple and clear explanation of guitar swing.

this is great! i've just learned bistro fada & bought a gypsy jazz guitar. now i'm going to practice bistr slower and concentrate on my picking and phrasing. thank you

Cheating arpeggios?
