All Of Me - gypsy jazz guitar

[JUNCLEEO]

just found you today and love your rendition, I know all the backing chords to this song but my concrete brain has never been able to work out lead guitar and as I am 64 I guess I never will, but I have a 10 year old niece who I am teaching guitar and is learning old jazz guitar standards (Django style) hopefully she will be able to obtain things I never could.

Cheers mate

@JUNCLEEO Thanks for your nice comment, I wish your niece luck!

This was the first jazz standard I learned to play when I bought a fake book nearly 10 years ago. God I love this song. You did a wonderful rendition of the song, inspired me to re-learn the song and do it in a similar style. Thanks a lot man!

[thrip]

@lightxgrenade Thanks for listening, I'm very pleased you like it :)

[DirtyRamires]

Top Man! well played.

[SirGromit]

Amazing! I played this song before but it even didn't come close to this!

[gtrfinger]

Completely sublime. I've subscribed on the basis of this alone.

[thrip]

@gtrfinger Thanks very much!

[upsetterz]

i saved this to my favourites in the first few seconds i heard it. cool!

[HOT19751975]

Good

[filipino983]

I got to say. i'm really enraptured by your playing, mister :) thanks for the post

[SuperGreenThree]

@Tim - I'm glad that I found your videos! I hope you do more recordings with that lovely guitar.

:)

[SuperGreenThree]

@Tim - I love your arrangement of this classic! I never get tired of this song. I'm tempted to ask about the tomatoes and cucumbers but will keep on topic. :D

1. What guitar are you using in this video?

[thrip]

@SuperGreenThree The guitar is made by Godefroy Maruejouls.

[kunit135]

ok... so amazing playing first of all... second of all. I am in love with this genre of music now and i have NO IDEA where to start. any pointers?

[thrip]

@kunit135 This style is all about knowing chords and arpeggios. Learn something about that. Also learn some common chord progressions in the style. On my website I have a few gypsy jazz lessons. Good luck!

[kunit135]

@thrip well, i know it consists of that, but is it something like blues where there are certain "boxes" that work? i'm pretty good with blues and I'm just not sure if that's how it goes...

[thrip]

@kunit135 not sure what you mean by "boxes", do you mean certain areas of the fretboard?

[kunit135]

@thrip well, when studying blues there are "blues boxes" that are just the different penatonic scale positions . so pretty much anything played in those boxes sounds good according to the key you're in.. I just am trying to bridge what i know into jazz, so i was wondering how jazz is set up... are there only certain scales that work? or arpeggios? it seems that every time i try to understand how to start learning no one makes it clear..

[thrip]

@kunit135 Ok I see, well jazz is pretty much the same but a bit more complicated. There is a different scale and arpeggio for each chord, so in other words you have to know a different "box" for every chord that comes past.

[jaybirdheinz]

Nice job Tim! I play tand sing this one also in my group. Its a fun song! I like to play it gypsy style as well.

[MariusOnita]

cool playing, and awesome guitar ,, good job :)

[UncleInsano]

fantastic job, I really felt your confidence and musicianship in your playing. keep it up!

[thrip]

@UncleInsano Thanks a lot!

[krol5709]

no it is better than the original :)

[thrip]

@krol5709 *cough* *splutter*

[krol5709]

Everytime I'm stressed I listen to your cover, this is almost better than the original

[xemosintightsx]

i'd advice getting your picking hand to get a little less tense. you're really gripping hard on that pick and your fingers are tightly clutched against your palm. i think you'd get that extensive sound that you want out of that guitar if you loosened up.

otherwise, i like your interpretation.

[MrKrumpABomb]

At 1:44 I kind of got scared you might run out of frets :P

[cavedweller1996]

Well, that does it. I'm getting a gitane :)

Just wondering, what type of strings foes it use? Nylon? Steel?

[thrip]

@cavedweller1996 steel strings

[dromanvibes48]
