How to practice Gypsy Jazz guitar efficiently - Dos and Don'ts
A complete Gypsy Jazz beginner guide by an intermediate beginner. I have been playing the Gypsy Jazz guitar music style for four years in total now and have visited tons of workshops and followed many online courses. Out of all these resources, I put together my own practice routine and collection of dos and don'ts when learning to play and study the style. I like to share with you what I have learned along the way in this video.

    W O W 💫 you sent me for a wild 🦆 Goose Chase I was hoping to get some kind of information about Gypsy Jazz but instead fell asleep and I don't remember what time but woke up in the middle of the night 🌉.

      Well, a wild Goose Chase is exactly how I would describe learning to play Gypsy Jazz, much of it being very confusing. I guess you learned everything you needed then ;)

    @tinian33 Před 11 lety

    Good stuff guys! Sounds stellar and I can hear your own style in the mix as opposed to some of the note for note acts out there. Gypsy jazz is easier to learn if you're immersed in that environment with like minded musicians, something that we don't really have here in the U.S. Do you guys "flat pick" at all? Not as creative from a phrasing standpoint as GJ, but it's pure precision with a different right hand technique...check it out: watch?v=8XBJNaPYfEg
