That "wrong" picking at the beginning actually sounds very warm and smooth!!!! A lot better than a lot who do pick "right" but don't sound nearly as good.
probably would sound good on an electric
Honestly, I don’t like the tone of most of the guys claiming to do it the right way. Matter of taste.
Really interesting video! You're like a modern-day philosopher.
Denis, you’re a true Scholar!
Denis, I like your way of thinking and playing. Good! 👍
Truth be told all selmer style guitars sound like crap. They are crunchy , they buzz , they don't find they bark. Lol. I know that's the sound. I grew up playing this style. We never called it gypsy jazz we were just playing our guitars. I prefer arch top guitars. They are fat , warm , every note rings , they sound sweet as well. Birelli ,stochelo and all the great gypsy jazz players can make any guitar sound great. I own a DuPont But I prefer my arch top.
Fascinating insights Denis!
Using "wrong" technique and "wrong" instruments can make music more exciting and alive and less robotic. When watching great gypsy jazz (or classical) players, I often wondered why they used those thin sounding guitars 😀 This was an improvement, your guitar sounds great.
Just back from a trip to Tohoku. Sorry to miss you, but looking forward to seeing you at Brisbane for OzManouche.
I have friends who play western style with gypsy guitars and they great players but the technique is wrong and they don’t get “the sound “, it matters. Before I began to educate myself and study I didn’t know the difference, I do now. Great lesson Denis!
Very insightful ! Thanks Dennis
I kinda liked it 😅cloth ears hear never really noticed until you said 😬🤣then I watched it again and it sounded a bit boppy 🤨anyway nicely put Dennis... Lovely guitar sounded great through that mic 😜
Lets call it the Macaferri sound! But good musings on the kinds of "knowing."
who cares as long as it sounds good
Denis does the Gypsy Jazz Picking book have audio examples? I realise its aimed at guitarists but the licks and etudes could be useful for those like myself who play other instruments.
it does, but to be honest, i am not sure if all the phrases will translate well to other instruments unless you make little modifications here and there. The phrases are super idiomatic for Gypsy Jazz guitar and take advantage of the “traditional” technique
Dennis I really appreciate your wisdom!!! From the HEART!!! I agree!!! Is that why Bach,Mozart etc...Are so great? Hmm Stevie Ray,Yngwie,Eddie Van Halen,Jimmy Rosenberg,etc...etc...Are so good and well liked!!!??? From the soul,and from the heart...Well said Dennis...
i used to be a sushi chef in london and japanese people are quite resentful that some western can be as good as them.
i had a head chef saito he said he would rather hire western sushi chefs as japanese are too full of themselves
What is the title of the documentary, again please? Is that Djangomania? I got to watch it anyway :)
DjangoMania. It is nowhere on the internet though
No not wrong, django was wrong (but right)
what resources do you recommend to start learning japanese

@@thyggsno way... eventually it plateaus when every conversation is daily life humdrum
The single best thing for me was just being there and forcing myself to just start speaking the language in very controlled environments. I started with the convenience store and fast food restaurants. As I gained confidence, I started trying more and more difficult environments (making appointments, signing up to the gym, sending stuff at the post office, etc…). I continuously forced myself into various situations where I would have to practice specific grammar points and vocabulary.
Oh and also having lots of Japanese friends who can’t speak English helps a lot too!
@@DenisChangMusic I learnt Vietnamese to a C1 level over 5 years... I think we have the same approach there. The best way to improve is to get a job live interpreting. That will turbocharge your abilities ;) Next level sink or swim (or in GJ context... sink or swing!)
