Beginner Gypsy Jazz guitar ala Django Reinhardt pick hand and arpeggio lesson

[ArkRed1]

What's with all the fret buzz? Is the action too low? Some say this is the Django sound, but he played cleaner than that. Is the buzz caused because the Gypsy strings are so flexible? I could never get my Gitane to not buzz. Might go to a heavier gauge strings. The thick pick is the way to go though. I make mine from bone, and they work well.

[nikolozjazz]

Was Django using this downstroke technique on his superspeed phrases?

[0SevenCarPileUp0]

this guy is really good.

[djman71]

hello all. does anybody have a contact # or adress email for jeff rosss? or tell him django is lookin for him. pleaeeese? not django walker !

[annabatarowicz]

this lead part reminds me of the first up and down sweep in steve vias pagnini style eugenes trick bag......................l.o.l i bet thats got some of you scratching you head saying w.t.f

[MusicMasterr97]

People who can't play this style shouldn't teach anybody

[redheard9]

@MusicMasterr97 ?



[DeltaBluesLivesOn]

work on your pompe

[imthefly]

note: by the time you pluck a string, your next finger should be on the next string (when you pluck from 7-10 on D - by the time you pluck the 10th fret, your finger should pretty much already be on the 9th fret on G

[thegrandwazoooo]

@imthefly nice scale but what can i do with it.what chords does it fit over,Aminor so i guess anything in key of A ? right? And can this scale be played all over the fretboard by changing the root note on e string?

[jcmoovee]

@thegrandwazoooo Aminor, move the first note to wahtever and it'll fit over that (minor)chord

[jasperwoods]

It does not take 6 months to learn this

[jcmoovee]

@jasperwoods if you already play guitar it's like learning all over again. he doesn't mean this arpeggio, he means being able to play everything like this will take months

[14hunan]

A double DOWN! That TOO technical. Django was great - for the 30s!

Now, we have Frank Gambale and Paul Gilbert.

[frankiedetergent]

is the rest stroke really doable?? i mean when going up the strings.

playing 3 strings up in a row.. it;s almost impossible at high speeds.

i'm trying to slow down some vids of rosenberg but they play so fast :)) that i can't see clearly.

[iAmirx]

à la* :-)

[CobinRain]

Great Teacher! Thanks for uploading

[1Silvus1]

what a great lesson, thank you!

[MagicMaui1]

Django Reinhardt is a Belgian :)

[nikgottheblues]

Yes You sir are a BADASS!! 5*s. Ive played for about 7 years now, and played mostly blues rock. But as much local attention as ive got over that style. I recently started playing a 2-5-1 with its relative aeolian scale notes to fill in. And Oh My God, im a brand new man, and now im jazz hungry and on the hunt. THANK YOU

[Tele295]

Jeff Ross is the bomb. I love hearing him with Gypsy Groove!

[gunsnrosescovers]

Great Vid

[0713mas]

This is the best!!! Thanks for posting

[mrfullofhimself]

it wierd, i dont know if its the guitar, or the pick, or a technique you use, but it seems to me that the notes dont ring out very long, and i like it! gives it a nice fade out sound

[Vivi2nice]

I love this guy!!!

[96JUSTIN]

i feel myself getting THINNER!!!

[eukicos]

GOGOL BORDELLO

[TheSonicEndeavour]

AHHH!!!! My favorite guitar teachers are teaching one of my favorites guitarists' styles!

[mongoose979]

[ThaFiloon]

@mongoose979 I'd really like some banjo rocking on lessons :D

[Chilloutman33]

Nice style. pretty crazy.

[bluesman101596]

please make some more of these with chord progressions liuke in the begenning of the video. the strumming techniques are what hold alot of people back but greatly help your right hand technique

[Oathbreakingninja]

My first guitar teacher ended up teaching me gypsy jazz. It was rather fun to play, but fairly difficult to play going right into guitar.

[pbase36]

Nice! Very "Triplettes of Belleville"

[cheezysmoker]

definately make a lesson for the intro!

[kowy88]

I just love that intro! I play guitar for 7 years now, and never did like the lead guitar part :) Always a fan of rythm :) pls is intro part any song particular, or just you are improvising? All the best, thx for great vid :)

[GuitarHeroStrummer]

[macdaddylorenzo]

Sounds like The Lost Fingers!

Great stuff!

[lookylooky2006]

David T

[manfromregina]

The chord progression in the beginning, sounds like most of the 1920's-early30's tunes i've heard. Movie tunes, and oold radio shows.

Is there a "blues".. link to this, later in history?

cheers from

Canada

[Peterzorlol]

chord progression in the beginning? lesson please! more jazz!

[wimscheers]

'Who you've probably heard off' Damn, I love this channels attitude.

[airport316]

[marino4691]

Django is Awesome!!

[ElGbayRGX]

Thaaaanks thaaanks a lot i love jazzy things !!!!!!!!!!!

[cliffpizarro]

django reinhardt was belgian not french just to make clear tho

[ToasterFerret]

@cliffpizarro Romanian.

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@ToasterFerret

A Gipsy, of the Sinti tribe,

He was born in Belgium

[ssobulldog]

@ToasterFerret Romani not Romanian,,he was born in Belgium into a Romani family,Romani means Gypsy.

It's just political bullshit,but he's Belgian,he was a white gypsy,Romania has prominently Dark Gypsies.

[ToasterFerret]

@ssobulldog

"Born in Liberchies, Pont-à-Celles, Belgium....."

Wow, you were right, lol, my fault.

[mau1794]

that guitar is sweet, what brand is it??

[Youteubi]

@mau1794 : probably a guitar manufactured by Maurice Dupont

[malacif]

@mau1794 It a very good copy of the guitar that Django used to play. I think that it's custom made because I tried to find it anywhere but nothing. As soon as a saw this guy plating it I fainted! :)

[pasha355]

@mau1794 gitane 

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - the guitar used in this lesson is a Dellarte - Manouche Latcho Drom with Argentine strings

take care and rock oN!

David T

[Arktik83]

Awesome lesson, I really wasn't much interested in Acoustic guitar before I stumbled across this, going to be practicing this everyday!

Thanks!

[jorgel0124]

oh shit robert deniro

[dj9mhz]

@jorgel0124 lol

[pasha355]

@jorgel0124 gitane 

[mhandel]

Awesome! More jazz lessons please.

[Arktik83]

Hm do you need a specific type of guitar for Gypsy Jazz or can a normal acoustic suffice?

[Metalmiltia]

Django Reinhardt. Two fingered genius. With Stefan Grappeli it doesn't get any better. James Hetfield plays all downpicks, maybe he's got some gypsy metal in his soul!

[BeatBay]

The first guy on this channel who really can play (besides 2 fist mcgee and the rockabilly-surf guy)! Thank you very much for this lesson!

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

I've been waiting for a lesson in the style of Django :) great lesson. :D

[catfishmudflap]

It's got that swing... Beautiful guitar too. Thank you.

[TheEddieguitar]

wow,nice rythm lol,man im 5th lol

[xdkwallen742]

very stylish, i dig it a lot. Great lesson!

[gsdev1]

Joyful Django Gypsy Jazz Jam. Love it!
