Great to see some gypsy jazz licks on the channel! Lick 5 is a classic and very challenging. I hear it played in the first position with open strings. Django probably played the chromatic descending run with one finger!
I think youâre right! I like playing that in a position where I can move it around đ
For sure. Probably starting on the D string at 17th fret and sliding all the way down or starting on the G string then jumping over to the D string to finish..He couldn't use the fingering shown by Chase.
Fantastic Chase as always đžđ best to you brother, hope you have a great weekend!
Appreciate you, Doug! Hope youâre having a great weekend too đ€
Thank you for this great lesson. I've been studying gypsy jazz for approx. 12 months. When I improvise over Minor Swing, I will certainly plug in some of these licks from the master himself.
Youâre welcome! đ
You're technique is so on point its stupid. Great work amigo!! Transcribed this monster a few years back... amazing
Thanks Jeff! đ€
Great video, please more of this! Really like how you explain how to build upon these licks.
Thanks! Iâve got a whole playlist dedicated to videos like this! đ
Hi chase ! The triplet lick is meant to played whith open strings i suggest you check the way Django did it. Thanks
Hi Ben, Iâm not usually playing open strings so I prefer to learn it in a way that I can apply across the entire fretboard.
@@ChaseMaddox i understand it makes sense. Thanks for the reply
Of course đ€
I can sorta play it, it's 6 AM though and I just got home, I'll let you know. Great theme here trying to give a more broad conceptual understanding. Like Mayer said, "Understand the thing that made the thing." More importantly though if you appreciate something deeply, so will other people. You have a pretty broad audience, I think, from the guy below me who is some sort of Django superenthusiast, to entry level people who are curious about jazz, to people with a relatively sophisticated vocabulary coming from other styles or completely different approaches to playing. Those people might not, like me, be familiar with functional harmony in all its permutations, and might not realize that a Dm6 and a B m7b5 are the same chord (even though it seems retrospectively obvious), or any other random tidbit. Those kinds of practical links are extremely helpful. Don't think you have to oversimplify -- just simplify enough. God bless brother
Thanks for watching James! Appreciate the comment đ€
Fab! đ
Thanks Micah!
Awesome lesson. Lick #5 is great, and I see it as a bunch of sextuplets, not triplets. It really works when played with sextuplet feel.
Thank you! That works too! đ€
thanks
Thanks for watching! đ€
Wonderful analysis !
Thanks Gerry! đ€
Great vid man. I believe Django did his chromatic runs by sliding down a string. In that lick's case, sliding down from the 12th on the g string.
Thanks Johnny! Iâm fitting it to the picking style that I use đ€
@@ChaseMaddox of course, we are lucky to be 4 figered đ
Yes indeed đ
Nice video! Greetings from Italy
Thank you! đ
Excellent!!
Thank you! đ€
It would nice if you could keep the notation on the screen longer. Otherwise, great job!
Try slowing down the video speed or hitting pause đ
@@ChaseMaddox Understood but still would like to have it up while you play or explain. Otherwise, I have to keep going back the point where it pops up ever so briefly. đ
You are a great teacher but one thing no teacher can learn you is how to sound like Django. You can learn the notes and if you are really good you might get the timing and if your exceptionally good you might get the phrasing but forget about sounding like Django
The operating word in this is 'like', meaning "having similar qualities or characteristics"
Very tasty indeed.
Glad you thought so! đ€
Although the notes are the same your tabs donât match what youâre playing. Misleading
I usually make the tabs beforehand and sometimes itâs slightly different than how I play it when I film. Calling it âmisleadingâ is a bit of stretch.
@@ChaseMaddox this is meant to be constructive criticism for an instructional video. It helps a lot if the tabs match what you play exactly. Thanks for the reply.
If that's your takeaway from the video, you're really missing the point. Most of the time these ideas can be played in different ways, in different contexts.
@@ChaseMaddox if you didnât find my criticism helpful, just disregard it. I am aware licks can be played in different places on the neck.
