    I think its all great , to see someone getting results is excellent. I think the way you dismantle gypsy jazz GUITAR and build it back up again for someone learning is incredible ......the one thing i will say though , is no matter what you end up learning , you have to find a way to find your own voice. Being amazing with the metronome is a skill in itself but don't ever forget that no one taught Django how to do a mad chromatic run or to use open strings for a quick vamp. He did it because he felt like it , it was his own confidence and personality . Never lose the feeling that makes you play to begin with, work on that and you will climb any mountain. I admire you and anyone who is out there learning........... but never forget ..... at the end of the day , you will need to play for your own spirit so never get disheartened and always take a step away from the metronome from time to time , we are not robots :).....please don't take this as a negative comment , i mean it in a sincere way. The world is only a better place with your teachings and massive respect as always Christian , thank you !

    Thank you Christiaan! This is super helpful. I'll have to rewatch some parts again with my guitar in hand. And phrases, not licks. Noted.

    At 1:18:28 I think it isn't good advice to say to him to go jam, he said he can't play a cohérent solo at home on a tune, how is he going to play a solo in a high pressure environment?
    What I do is I learn 3 minutes of a fully prepared solo (like a classical piece) on every tune I'm about to play. In a high pressure environment you're 100% going to fail to improvise and then I can fall back onto my prepared solo that I can play 100%. This way it becomes way more comfortable because I know that for every tune I'm about to play I can always fall back onto my pre studied solo that I know inside out.
    Memorizing a full chorus is really helpful because it also fools everyone into thinking I'm a great improviser but actually I stole all those choruses note for note from high level players haha but at least it sounds good.

      I think what he’s saying is you can play with other people without it being a “high pressure environment”. Just a chill jam session where there’s virtually no stakes.

      @@JaxonBurn Yes in that case he should absolutely go to a jam session if it's just with friends in a living room. But I think if you play in public with people watching and you fail horribly it would be really hard to get onto your feet after that. At least I would, it would really dent my ego haha

      Finally someone agrees with me! lol You're the first. The prepared solo sounds like a solid idea. Btw nice channel!

      @@Ludwig_Cox I've failed horribly in front of audiences a few times with music (I played rhythm for a while) and other non-music situations. That's why I know that jumping into a jam right now would be premature and damaging.

      Just my experience: Book 1 is a great primer for Book 2. I still go back to it for licks (I mean, phrases) and concepts.

      Book 1 is the best 50 euros I've ever spent. It also takes a very long time to get into your fingers because there is a lot of content
