  • Lol, ik zat net met die gozer in sonsbeek..

  • very beatiful

  • Sounds like Europa by Santana

  • @Mattycnw Yeah! i think it is, and it soundes very like the Tuck Andress version, which i love it! great song

  • all time greatest

  • Anyone know what song this is? If it is a song? This is really beautiful.

  • @BlaqBetteh Europa, Carlos Santana ^^

  • @zoroastrenietzsche No it's not.

  • Mensen die dit niet mooi vinden zijn gewoon jaloers........... het komt op het volgende neer........... ze wouden dat zij dat ook konden!!!!!

  • BIZAR TALENT!!! RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!! Ik hoop dat het nu goed met je gaat Jimmy!!!! Laat iedereen maar kletsen jij bent gewoon de man!!

  • waneer geeft deze man een show, rosenberg trio treed vaak op maar wanneer jimmy,wil de man graag live zien en horen

  • this music is so mexican i got the shits!

  • Pure magic

  • heb met hem een middagje in de shop mogen vertoeven met jimmy .ik wist niet wie hij was maar hij vertelde mij dat hij gitarist was . MAAR IK WIST NIET DAT HIJ ZO GOED WAS !!! KUNNEN NOG WEL WAT ARTIESTEN EEN PUNTJE AAN ZUIGEN!!!

    ga zo door thabbo!!! zie je wel weer bij upstairs mischien

  • I am so skeptical when I see negatives on a clip like this. So many dislikes can't help me suspect jealousy.

    Thanks for uploading this!

  • Is this post documentary???

    

  • not his best performance

  • such a awesome player!! too bad i wasted his talent and life on drugs

  • Isn't that Nolan's Favino?

  • @OtterpopSlaughterMop yes !!! hehehe good looking ;) and listening

  • @OtterpopSlaughterMop he was selling it recently, he got it from jimmy and someone else famous owned it previously too i think

  • I cant believe the arrogance! Applauding before he finishes the piece!

  • dun981, cranesare, cheers thanks to the two of you

  • @cranesare exactly the melody is from europe and it have some licks taken from echos of spain by django

  • are they meant to be steal on nylon stringed guitars?

  • Anyone know the name of the this, the first min or two, or is just a medley/improv

  • @dylanlawless1 I think it´s Europe by Carlos Santana

  • Fast, but not clean. I better forget about this

  • I'm never going to dream of reaching his level, first of all. But in this setting, and i mean this with all the respect i have for him, with someone applauding before he even ended his piece, good judgement of fine art is given to the wrong kind of people.This is nowhere near what he can do and all the nivea-washed men that he plays for should forget what they have heard, cause they don't deserve it. We live in dire times and to see an angel like Jimmy 'please' these people is an insult.live onJ

  • @Whiskeyfirst  Thats the same with anything. do u think the best seats at the biggest football match are taken up by the biggest fans? or the best cars driven by the biggest enthusiasts? noooo, the best of the best will almost always perform infront of at least some people that dont give a toss

  • i've put my guitar in fire while watching the video.

    ;[

  • hij is gewoon een van de beste!!!!

  • AWSOME!!!!

  • @thebiglebowski2010 Are you serious about his? If so i'd call you an ass but that would be an insult to that bodypart.

  • @thebiglebowski2010

    He's one of the best guitar players ever. But I have to agree about the sloppyness in this particular clip, he can do so much better and there are other Jimmy Rossenberg video's on YouTube to prove that. Maybe he did have an off day.

  • @thebiglebowski2010 Crawl back into your cave.

  • yeah, but can he sell crap on QVC like Esteban?

  • Chords are nice but the solos sound like slop. Once you hit 1:50 it's like "look at me I know minor chords !!!" 2:37 does he know there are not harmonics at those places?

  • @VitusBrothers 2:37 does he know there are not harmonics at those places?

    Er....they're called 'node points'. Want them explained?

    Just buy a basic Teach yourself Guitar book.

  • @MultiPeacedog Yeah, do me a favor, find them online. Because if you google "guitar node points" you get explanations of nodes. Not someone missing harmonics. Maybe the gypsys call it "node points" but the rest of the world calls it "oops! I missed".

  • Comment removed

  • @punchyouintheneck If you're going to make a condescending comment about "the gypsys" - you might be better off spelling the word right; otherwise your position of superiority begins to look a little foolish. It's gypsies, in case you're wondering.

  • @stalkek I had an IE in there but one of the "gypsies" stole it. ;-)

  • @stalkek And one other thing... Look around, the term GYPSY is thrown around with this guy like Django's knuckle. Even people posting here are using that term in their name. You're the one making it sound demeaning.

  • @punchyouintheneck Fair enough, your comment is harmless enough & maybe I took it wrong but regarding the flak an amazing guitarist like Jimmy R is getting, look at the neanderthal comment from the biglebowski.

  • Chords are nice but the solos sound like slop. Once you hit 1:50 it's like "look at me I know minor chords !!!"

  • maybe he is good but here his playing was very sloppy.

  • His guitar is awesome, sounds amazing!

  • Ooooh he goes into echoes of Spain by Django Reinhardt near the end before some manic improvisations. It's about 1:56 - 2:19

  • ons pap heeft daar pas mee geJAMt!!! ^_^

  • toen ik met jimmy speelde voelde ik me echt verschrikkelijk slecht op de gitaar die man sppeeelt echt zoo alles uit zn hoofd ongelofelijk blijf vn m een superfan briliant±p

  • zo mooi he love this music serieus die hele familie is gewoon zo talentvol super.

  • jimmy the best gitarist on the hole universem

    en the best man of the world jimmy maat gooi alles weg en denk aan je carriere groeten een goeie oude bekende van je

  • not the best guitar performance i've ever heard... he was better at the age of 14:D this is crap from him.

  • @marty492 r u crazy? lol

  • @marty492 Yeah, maybe he,s not as clean as he's could be but....so much emotion in his playing, i love it!

  • Is this not amazing, brilliant and beautiful? OMG!

  • What is this crap?!

  • O man he is fiiiiiine!!!!Could a man ever be so beautiful!!!???

  • Awesome

  • als je over talent praat

  • @steinbach86, en dan te bedenken dat het misschien nog wel familie van je is!

  • Comment removed

  • Jimmy Rosenberg is one of my favorite living guitarists. Is Jimmy Rosenberg related to Stochelo Rosenberg?

  • @ChiTown7721 He's Stochelo's cousin

  • @moondogcavern Thanks for the info. Man, they have some serious talent running through that bloodline!

  • 0:07!!!

  • High action will always sounds better than low action on ANY kind of guitar.

  • it will always be worse to play to and unpreffered

  • @moondogcavern playeed jeango's 504 high action an sounded shit. must have been my skinny fingers a lak of gipsy blues.

  • @moondogcavern why?

  • @DANNYK678

    Example. If you play a G on the 6th string at the third fret and your action is low,

    the string will vibrate less because there will be a "contact" between the string

    and the 4th and maybe the 5th fret and so on.. depending on how low the action is.

    If the action is HIGH the string will vibrate without any restriction.

    Of course if the action is very high, take out a bottleneck and play blues guitar.

  • @moondogcavern having low action makes it WAY easier to do fast runs. That's why alot of flamenco players put capos on the second or third fret to bring the strings close to the fret board. Really takes a load of the fretting hand.

  • @canadianRadio even woth low action it's still fucking hard.

  • @moondogcavern

    Bullshit - Flamenco guitar - low action sounds way more kick ass.

  • it is true that the action on a good gypsy guitar is very high?

  • Its best to listen to this without watching it. I have watched this while listening to it and it isnt as good. Try it.

  • This is so beautiful...

  • Good argument!

  • Gypsy jazz is always a little rough around the edges. This is one of the things that makes it earthy and unique. Too much perfection makes it lose its soul, like that player from Mr. Big (whatever his name is).

  • Quite rightly so. However, this is not the issue. For instance, I have seen Paco de Lucia playing the classy Concierto de Aranjuez, rough as well. But how soulful that was:). I perceive some of Jimmys lines here to be showing off. Surprisingly, he is able to make a wonderful follow up right after something I called "shred".

  • I see plently of arguing on here. Jimmy's ttechnique is fantastic, it was obviously taught to him by the likes of stochelo etc. He is a fantastic player, and should not be criticised

  • you right. an he plays striaght from his heart. Butif you compare his technique with when jimmy was a kid. His technique is less good now.

  • yea, some of his fast licks do miss alot of notes. Comparing his technique to stochelo's, its got to be his every time.

  • He's playing a 1988 J.P.Favino

  • What is the guitar he is playing?

  • you better mind this this guy below me doesnt squirt his period all over you !

  • horrible technique? you just dont know. you might listen to jimmy..but you dont feel jimmy..

  • OH SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LOSER!

    If you love Jimmy so much , why don't you marry him!

  • @PoutinePete

    Why dont you climb back in your tree and play with your squirrels..if you dont like him..dont watch his vids..your comment says more about yourself then about me or jimmy

  • Am I the only one who dislikes his fast played lines? Of course, fast playing does not necessarily mean that the music is without soul, however, I am really missing the point of some of his shreds. e.g. 0:16-0:20, 0:58-1:00 or 2:20 - 2:30.

  • Yes, I also thought this. They are kind of a demonstration of great artistic abilities. Indeed, like you say, they have not meaning in this improvisation, they just confuse me!

  • @padesatosem ur right the shred line was not really clear he needs to practice on this but he still a great gipsy guitar player !! cheers

  • @jazzymady You' fucking idiot. Listen a bit to what he's done and you'd be ashamed for what you've said.

  • @padesatosem The fact that you use the term shred disqualifies you from understanding this guy's idiom. Shred! jeez, where do you people come from. You should do the right thing and cringe with embarrassment at the pish you talk

  • I agree with you so much!!!!

  • I do not believe it is so:). First of all, I understand his idiom. I have heard a lot of gypsy guitar music. Well, he is playing manouche, and "dirt" goes along the way. Nonetheless, if I compare his means of expressing his music with, say, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tchavolo, Jorgenson, Lagrene, I am really often missing the soul in his playing. Now, it might be a heresy, but I am actually keen to think that his playing as a young boy was more expressive than his playing in this video.

  • @padesatosem : You're missing the soul of Jimmy's playing???!!!! Then watch the vid on Youtube named "Jimmy Rosenberg , Andreas Oberg,I Can t Give You Anything but Love"

    I mean come on! Jimmy is often fucked up but he has a fucking great soul and he's an amazing guitar player! Even Biréli said so in 1993 during the concert in Oslo where is stop playing!

  • ??? Of course this is shred! Playing around when their is not goal and meaning, this is shred! Jimmy can play much better and with much more emotions than in this fast lines...

  • @Stingerfyle See if you can rearrange these three words

    point the missed

  • gentilguy sans vouloir paraitre offensant mais j'aimerais te voir face a lui et reprendre le chorus apres un solo de jimmy perso je doute fort que tu puisse suivre ( crois moi je sais de quoi je parle je suis moi meme guitariste et manouche par la meme occasion ) et je m'emmelerais les pinceaux face a ce mec la

  • ive played with him today was greatt:d hes gonna teach me he said awesomee i play for ten years but didnt even get close to the guy with my play haha hess awesomee:d

  • vraimant bien non

  • he is one of if not the greatest guitarist of all time

  • bravo il connait bien la guitare et joue à merveille. Mais c'est rien de neuf son style. On en a entendu des guitaristes, mais des tonnes.

    Kurt Rosenwinkel est une meilleure inspiration à mon goût.

  • GIvE ALL THAT YOUV GOT MEN!!!!

  • great talent... no words to describe... fantastic

  • Talent??? He is a LEGEND!

  • @daskalaras But where IS the legend? 

  • ha ha on aime la vie et voici l artiste

  • hij is goed

  • Fantastic!

  • It is Europa.... one of 2 Santana songs (el Farol is the other) that could easily be mistaken for 'Fly me to the Moon"

  • At 1:50 he starts playing about 30 seconds of "Echoes of Spain" by Django.

  • hmmm odjus

  • jimmy rosenberg virtuoso

    complete youre destiny

  • Comment removed

  • pff, it is not autum leaves at all.

  • @Dreskot en een stukje echoes of spain van django aan het eind (supervet nummer!)

  • Which song is he playing? Does some1 know?

    Greetings from Holland

  • Very good jimmy !

  • besides django are there any more idols or original masters of the gypsy guitar style?

  • no.

  • John Jorgenson

  • Mo so ada kerel...! This is not a flamengo but gipsy´s cry is traditioanal sinti and romani rose Gipsy culture... Not many can play it.!

  • Jimmy is AMAZING!! I only hope he will play Chicago some day so I can see him perform in person. That of course goes for Stochelo too. Both are amont my favorites! Thanks for posting this amazing musician.

  • best in the world-

  • habiszti

  • Your absolutly right. Just see the movies from Tony Gatlif. Vengo and Latcho Drom. There you can see the history of the Manouche Jazz and in Vengo specificly the Flamenco!

  • I think Flamenco and Manouche jazz have more than a little in common generally...don't forget that flamenco is gypsy music as well, both extremely European. Where flamenco is more rhythmically orientated manouche jazz is harmonically more advanced thanks to it's basis in Bebop. But they both have that fiery spirit.

  • This music predated bebop by at least 10 years.

  • true, but most of the language used now is a mixture of Django and Charlie Parker, effectively (plus lots more). you wouldn't have heard anybody playing like Bireli does now in the 30's.

  • Hmm, Stochelo plays much cleaner and with more soul than this guy. But Jimmy is more experimental .

    Still, amazing piece of music where flamenco clearly found Jimmy.

    Bravo

  • this isn't flamenco.

  • I agree.

  • Jimmy and Bireli are two of the few gypsy jazz guitarists who have an original style. The rest usually just play Django solos really fast. Of course, one should learn the Django spirit, but not copy him!

  • I disagree jimmy's the one that plays fast and doesn't even play clean. there's a big difference between playing ''original'' and playing fast and sloppy and playing alternitive riffs.

  • This is just beautiful !!!

  • magnifique

  • You guys need to suck some dick you godamn retards. He's awesome. So stop talking stupid shit.

  • i hear a lot of flamenco influence on this one. amazing playing

  • Anyone got some Guitar pro files on songs like this one?

  • Einfach nur schnell skalen runtergespielt aber abgesehen von den nur halb angeschlagenen tönen nicht schlecht. Und ein bisschen unmelodisch ich seh da keinen vergleich zu django nur das sie aus der selben ecke kommen.

    3/5

  • Not everyone speaks german!!!!!

    Point 2:you're not right

  • Not everyone is able to speak English either.

  • go jimmi goo gypsy power haha he showing what gypsys caaan whit giutarr's

  • Umm..whats with the guy at 1:21 ?

  • Jimmy does it guys! No doubt about it, he is talented and has the flair.

  • This didn't do much for me. Rosenberg is obviously talented, but he seems a bit too preoccupied with technique to let the guitar speak. The thing about Django was his artistry with the guitar, the way his impeccable technique could astound but his emotion sway the soul. There are some fine Django-esque players today, notably Lagrene and Vignola, but nobody will ever replace the master.

  • agree

  • Comment removed

  • Ha, look: I admit in my original post that he has obvious technical talent. My point is, the reason Django continues to be admired (and regarded as the greatest jazz guitarist every) is the way he could balance impeccable technique with incredible feeling. The 1:33 mark in this video, especially. Django would've never done that. Technique is one thing, but you can't learn feeling. It's what separates the guitar shredders from the bluesmen and the Rosenbergs from the Reinhardts.

  • I don't know what to say man.... i believe this guy embodies feeling and emotion, life-experience, and incredible maturatiy in his playing... if you don't hear it in this video, watch some others and maybe you'll see the amount of passion and emotion in this man's music. Truly, there are a lot of clones out there, and a lot of technicians. Rosenberg is neither. and represents his own unique experience with the guitar.... who's Reinhardt?

  • Django Reinhardt, the king of jazz guitar and arguably the greatest guitar player of the 20th century. Reinhardt could play the virtuosic lines of Rosenberg (and with only two fret fingers, at that), but he balanced those flourishes with bends and aches that gave the playing feeling. I highly recommend checking out his work.

  • This piece is not typical Jimmy Rosenberg. His play normally is extremely soulful. I rank him up there as among the very best, for technique and feeling. Check out his other stuff. Don't judge by this video. It's just a technique-showoff piece.

  • ...was that a joke?

  • TAVES BAXTALO

  • wtf, his fast runs suck ass, and he is waaaay tense. sorry, but for technical monsters look elsewhere.

  • You're a drummer, huh? Well, I am a guitarist, I think i know more about guitar technique than you. You only hear like half of the notes, and it's really sloppy. Go and bang on some drums now, shoot.

  • nah way better that way, it's raw. he's putting passion into it. other wise whats the point? if you want to hear a piece of your choise played at a million miles an hour, metronome tight. listen to a computer do it.

  • Eh... Of course i want him to play clean, and in time.

    OF COURSE. Jeebus
