I love the way you teach! The fact of choosing only one inversion for each chord, and only 3 chords, instead of trying to show all possible inversions and messing up our minds, that is knowing how to teach, thank you so much
This man is such a real "king" in matter of pedagogy !.. His explanations are so clear that it is quasi impossible to find some better lessons on the web, in my opinion !.. Thank's a lot for all Yakov !..
THX Jako! your lessons really help me to improve allot. You explain everything very clear and accessible to me. This iversion lesson as well. Nice to find so much music that is already right there under my fingerss
I love these lessons! I did a short impersonation of you for the ukelele player in my band. She was like "wow! Mind blown! I actually just learned something really cool!". We call you the Bob Ross of gypsy jazz. Thank you so much for your time and specificity too.
Thanks for the great lesson Yakov. Really opens up a lot of possibilities and I like the way you break things down and make it easy to understand for beginners like me!
Your awesome. I understand what your saying about playing the same standard chords.Learning what you are doing is one of the reasons why I want to open my world of music learning exactly what you are talking about. I am where you used to be trying to get where you are at. With your help I think I will make it. Thank you Yaakov.
Excellent work as always. Perhaps there is a Part Two in the future to include chord subs - as in your example of Dmin7/D to Dmin/F, you insert A7/E bass, and start a diatonic bass walk up (D, E, F..).
I show all the substitutes in my paid courses which have many lessons inside that allows me to explain substituted clearly. But I will consider creating a short CZcams lesson abut that as well. Thanks!
Just excellent info for many songs where these inversions can create so much color and improvisation . Excellent demonstration showing how it can be used I'm looking forward to practicing , I am a fingerstylist but this is just wonderful knowledge that can be applied to what I do too. Thanks you !
Yakov. Wow. The best and the most inspiring lesson I have seen. Makes me want to practice more and try things. Truly the possibilities to sound different and better is inspiring. Merci!

Is too much for me! But amazing lesson. I will try. Thanks yakoow always surprise me. I see your exibition in my city ( syracusa ) you was playng LED zeppelin in gypsy mode...molto bello.
Thanks! I love making that video in Syracusa. Were you watching me play? You can see the recording here on CZcams. Just look for "Stairway to Heaven." Take your learning nice and easy and get a bit better every day, Gianfranco. Ciao!

It would be nice to show two videos. One with the licks and the other video with the accompaniment. Then we would see how the accompaniment follows the the instrumental. You could split the screen with two videos.
Thanks Jacob! I am enjoying your lessons. As I am new to Gypsy jazz, my question is this: when moving from for example an E-7 to an A7 chord, might you insert sometimes a Bb7 or Bb13 on the fourth beat as you move to A7? I know this is done in other styles but not sure if this fits with Gypsy Jazz. Thanks!

Thanks for your comment! I am happy that you find it helpful
Adds to the vocabulary and then you can hear the narrative. Fab!
How's it working for you, Micah?

Thank you very much for this stimulating lesson. May i ask what kind of guitar pick do you prefer? Thanks again.
Hi
I use Wegen 3mm Gypsy Jazz pick
Cheers
Thanks Jacob! I am enjoying your lessons.

Hi Jeff
Yes of-course you can do it. GJ is not different than Jazz in that manner.
especially we love to play A13/Bb
Give it a try
Cheers
What do you use for guitar picks?
Gypsy Jazz Wegen pick. Sounds great!
Sorry Yakov!
Because of the way you wrote my name? I thought you were giving me a nickname, Pauly!
