What a brilliant way to break the solo into bitesized chunks, with all the complexities of chord notation thought out in advance for the student. Five minutes is more than enough time to digest these bitesized chunks, and the feeling afterwards is like having enjoyed a fantastic musical meal. Another great lesson from the Gypsy Music Guru Robin Nolan. Thanks Maestro !!!!
Thank you. I have never played gypsy jazz because I thought that Django was just unreal! However, you have given me such an insight into a beautiful style after nearly forty years of playing. Thanks again. Man, you can play.
JUST THE STUFF I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG...! 🥰 Just these kinda tips and indeed LESSONS I want to learn and to master in my own studies of guitar playing! 💓 Thank you very much, Robin! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
First lick is in Ahir Bheiro (N. Indian Raga) at least in first versiion If you play the lick on each of the 4 notes you get 4 different sets of notes. For a lick in the diminished (octotonic) scale you get 2 sets of notes because the diminished scale is composed of 2 dim chords. A lick in the augmented scale yields the same note set no matter which note you start on. On a side note, personally I like the first version of the first lick because it is diatonic. This brings up a related topic: sequences. Sequences is where you play a lick on different scale degrees. I've seen heavy use of this device in the teaching and practiceof N. Indian classical music. They call it Alankar or Palta. Of course as the sequence moves, a different sets of notes are used according to the Raga. Django used sequences but rarely I think. There is a beautiful example but I can't remember in which recording. I've tried using them in my playing, but they don't sound right to my ears. I suspect that they would sound better at faster speeds than my current ability on the guitar enables!
Such beautiful and adaptable licks, so impressive and yet thanks to you, so easy to learn. I call the first diminished lick The Rocket because of its shape.
Welcome Jennie glad you like the bell! Yes this is just a taster of the new course in the Gypsy Jazz Club that of course has a juicy Dm lick. Stay inspired! Robin
That little trick about sliding the diminished chord position up three frets to create the same chord (same notes but in a different order) . . . does that work for any other chords? Thx :-)
That’s only applied to Diminished Carl. It’s the same notes just a different inversion. Other chords can be slid around but they change function. Stay inspired! Robin
Hi Mohammad they are backing tracks from the Gypsy Jazz Club library. You can also find backing tracks on CZcams. Or when you’re ready to take a step foreword with your playing join the club and get help from me and access to all the cool resources. www.GypsyJazzClub.com. 🙏🎸🔥
