The first episode of a series in which I look at improv phrases played by a master on a specific song or chord progression and talk about the shapes on the guitar neck that they are a part of!
Guitar used in this video: a superb "StringPhonic Chorus" treated with the infamous "Tommy Davy Setup" by Tommy Davy of djangoguitars.com

Nice Job CVH!

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Thanks Nick, you da man!

[@j.garnergtr]

Exactly. It's about shapes, no matter the instrument. Nice. That's how I teach my students.

[@vladjones2446]

Great lines and concepts. All of the ‘greats’ from Django through Wes, the two Pats and Holdsworth are clearly shape/line orientated. The focus on theory is because the Jazz academia industry needed to fill their curriculums with something for a 3 year degree.

You really are a master in catchy titles for your videos. Great tips Christiaan!

[@raybergstrom]

Great video, dude! I'm learning all these licks!

[@Ben-S-Man]

Great video! This is a really useful way of approaching these phrases. Thanks!

[@GoldenToiletAngel]

So... Will you do something on violin again?
Anyhow, keep up the good work, I am glad that you continuously work to improve the gypsy jazz community!

Wil je misschien een keer een priveles doen? (ik weet dat je het druk hebt maar het zou mij denk ik heel erg helpen)

[@gregthompson165]
