In this video, I talk about the way Gypsy musicians (Sinti) approach Gypsy Jazz / Jazz Manouche music on the guitar, violin, or any instrument. I have been in close contact with Sinti musicians for almost 20 years. I have worked and performed with artists such as Bireli Lagrene, Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tchavolo Schmitt, Dorado Schmitt, etc.
you.... are amazing... by that i mean you're cultural understanding is astounding...
I am proud to say I figured out the gypsy bossa rhythm myself and when I play with folks that can’t do it. Some don’t even hear the difference. I play it strictly the way you showed. I love it.
how?
I worked on it a bunch after finding it in the first installation of the Rhythm section of DC Music School. Really a tough thing at first (had to wear bandaids on my fingers). Fun.
@@Tupac_Shakur-NL I listened and played along until it was perfect!!
This video changed the way I am learning gypsy jazz. My progress really sky rocketed after getting inspired by this
c est vrai Denis tout ca ..Le temps a passé , mais quelle belle découverte on a eu ici au Quebec , surtout a Montréal au début 2000. Ca été ben l fun d etre témoin et un peu mélangé la dedans ! je joues encore ce style, en fait , uniquement ca, j aime ca , voila ! Salut a toi Denis, great stuff thanks for your dedication . Cheers
Denis my (online magical) friend, you are always delivering great information and insights from the jazz manouche comunity. Thanks a lot.
My first time living amongst flamenco gypsies; gitanos, I learnt all of this very quickly. It all seemed more about love and reward than direct teaching. If a child showed interest then they were given the tools to express themselves. If they didn't they did other things. It was just all about support but in kind of loose way so their was room for them to discover and fund their own sound.
Finally, I finished watching this one hour narration of historical Gypsy sound!Oorah, it’s a big challenge for me to understand whole Romani background story on both music and English! THX Denis for your wonderful Sinti fairytale
This is the best video about The Gypsy’s approach to learning music which to me, is like, the most Functional way of learning anything... I haven’t ever had the chance to travel to Europe as I am from South America, but I’d really love to at least visit to Django’s Festival anytime before I die. Thank you Denis because every time I listen to you I feel like I have already been to France Germany, Canada etc. through your videos, you make us all travel to all those places where Gypsy Jazz is the rule and it’s like if I knew all the gypsies you mention... just to let you know that I just spent the whole hour listening to your video... thanks!
Most accurate description of how sinti learn music i've ever seen. My mom is sintaika and thats exactly how her uncles tried to teach me their music.
Thx for your comment :-). Where are you or your family based?
@@DenisChangMusic We’re in the US I live in New York, my family left France before WWII. They were from Merlebach
@@DenisChangMusic It’s interesting they left before Gypsy Jazz became a thing but their music is so similar, they play rhythm the same way and similar leads even though they don’t play “Jazz”. When my grandma first heard Gypsy Jazz she couldn’t believe that people were playing music like her dad used to play. Long before Gypsy Jazz
Bireli pointing at you to solo must be the most intimidating thing on the planet.
But he's Denis Chang. No fear.
Also awesome solo at the start Denis, that must take balls of steel on stage with Bireli.
I think that would be BEARS of steel.
A good vid for appreciating the "intuitive". Whatever words you use to try and describe what Django did to swing must take into account that he did it without having been taught, and mostly lacking a language for what he was doing. How much was taken from others and how much grew out of his "intuition' is only important in the context of historical accuracy. It's a bit like the Wright Bros. going from bicycles to airplanes in a couple years of focused trial and error.
Jeff Moore well said!!
Really enjoyable video my friend. Thanks for a prima into the gypsy politics, history and interesting titbits. Your mention of reverse (up) sweeping has really helped me, to break the "rules" :) I can play the hard G arpeggio in Montagne Sainte Genevieve using that technique I like it can great some attack on it if maintain floating hand. Thanks the keeping the knowledge alive, all the best from UK
Yes, Gypsy was not popular in the 1990ties. But in 1991 i saw a movie with Steve Martin- he make a bit music by his self i guess, jazzguitar- and he took as film music many original numbers from Django:-D. This was the time i began to love this sound but i had no idea what this type of music was. I mean it was jazz, but ther was no name for it. Then my brother gave me some cd's he recorded for me, because he thought i will like it, and there it was again, this vintage sound...he told me about Django and his playing with only 2 fingers. To buy a gypsy guitar in austria is a nightmare, they are not availible here, only in germany at next option. Thanks for your video, i listening while cleaning up the kitchen:-D
Love this lesson format!! Feels like a conversation about life and music. Great work!!
A Dragon Ball reference and gypsy jazz stories.... I think I love u.
DBZ is The Way!
Amazing video. Awesome job, Dennis. Thank you.
Priceless insights, Awesome Denis extremely generous of you to share your knowledge.
22:22 Bireli shredding the violin. The bow skipping technique, especially. He has the sharpest musical intuition.
He knows The Way
I really enjoyed this and I had a feeling that what you said was the case! I too love it and can’t get enough. Awesome video.
Dude ! you are amazing thank you so much for this knowledge!
This is amazing! Thanks. Django is still king and way ahead harmonically. IMO
Thanks for the lesson
thanks Denis!
This is a fantastic lesson! Thank you Denis!
Merci Denis pour cette superbe vidéo ! La présentation des différentes influences, c'est top.
Merci Benjamin!!
Many thanks for the vid Denis. It was highly informative , very interesting, and the insight into how the real stuff comes about was insightfully presented and much appreciated.
Peter Ritchie thx for taking the time to watch, Peter!
Denis is a great guitar player and teacher ...and pretty damn funny and if i ever get taken please let him know---he has certain skills .
Liam would like a word with you
Nice one Denis! Great video!
The conversational take on this is perfect. There's tons of material to mine in here for the dedicated. I'd like to humbly request tabs.
Thanks for watching!!
I really don't need tabs.
Thank you very much for your great work!
Super denis, j’adore ta manière d’approcher les chose . I believe intuition is stronger than structure but i never believed that extrems are the way , rather 70% / 30% , anyway the important point is good music !! Whatever the way is . But I also think that some are just not made with this rythm and sound fibber no Mather how much they try , it’s like people who just can’t dance or people who just don’t get Mathematics but doesn’t mean they must not do it ! The way is the goal at the end of the day because it’s so much fun and passion drives all of us who try , that’s what’s beautiful !
Au passage je vais m’abonner à DC ;) continue tes vidéo comme celle là très enrichissante!
Great video - helpful and very interesting. Thanks.

Hello i'm Canadian and the first thing i'd like to do is apologize for using a word. Merci pour les vidéos
hahahaha
Hello, I'm Canadian also and I'd like to apologize for Beji's apology. Merci
@@peterritchie2990 Oh I'm sorry to hear that! ;-)
Greets from Toronto Denis! I've been thinking to get my hands on my first gypsy jazz guitar, do you have any affordable while quality suggestions? Truly inspiring video and I resonate a lot with what you said about do whatever you feel like that's exactly how I taught myself how to play a guitar, I'm really interested in gypsy jazz and have been practicing with various backing tracks available on youtube (improvise mainly) and play whatever I think sounds good. Really looking to learn more about gypsy jazz here could you give me some suggestions please? Thank you!
My first gypsy jazz guitar: an Altamira from Tommy Davy, the one with F-holes. Some peeps at Django in June said it was a goodie; it was a present, but I know the cost was around a grand.
Hello Denis! Could you please tell me where i can find the recording of Django of Them There Eyes in Rome? Never heard it!
Thanks for your videos!
Jieck2305 Oh my bad! It was in Paris 1947 with Grappelli. I should’ve fact checked first. Sorry for the fake news!
@@DenisChangMusic Thanks - I had just arrived at the same conclusion:
1947 November 28 - Radiodiffusion-Television Française, Paris czcams.com/video/57P17CO437k/video.html
Mágic the gathering

In your solo flatpicking video, re: Bryan Sutton's technique, I noticed that your picking hand thumb knuckle appeared to be stiff/inflexible. Is that what Bryan taught you, OR, does his techniques allow for thumb knuckle flexibility, a la Steve Kaufman?
Thank you!
I ve never met Bryan Sutton nor do I have any solo flatpicking videos. That's not my specialty at all! Maybe you watched someone else's video?
Gypsy has been used as a slur. It's also been used as a badge of honor. The gypsies I have met have no problem and are in fact proud of it.
I thought Django was Manouche?
MrAnderswt Sinto and Manouche are interchangeable
Song name at 45:58? I really like the chord work.
that's Besame Mucho
@@DenisChangMusic Ah, thought I knew it. Sounds much different played as a bolero. Thanks!
@@DenisChangMusic Is there a full version of that performance anywhere?
"Offensive" boo hoo hoo.... geez get a diaper....
Well, I can have disagreements with others, and I try to be nice and respectful to everyone and hope others can do the same for me.
SavageArfad People who play this style of music are cool but since I’m posting this video on CZcams where any random person might encounter it and have something to say, I prefer to play it safe. Like I said, ultimately, I want to be kind and respectful to people, but sometimes the radical “SJWs” sometimes make it really hard.
