Djangology - Gypsy jazz guitar lesson

[freakguitar1]

only women do guitar lessons in the kitchen!!

but nice stuff haha

[guitarslim56]

That's a nice sounding kitchen. Lots of tile! My cabin is all wood, so there is very little resonance.

[czgibson]

Amazing lesson. This is a really kind gift you've given to us all by putting these up for free.

One question: the third arpeggio of Ex. 1 seems like a Bm7, but you call it G6. I can see how it could be Gmaj9 with no root, but it's got not E in it so I can't see where G6 comes from. Having said that, it's a sweet sound over a G6, so you've definitely got me thinking.

[thrip]

@czgibson You are of course correct! Thanks for pointing it out. I'll correct it at some point...

[edgarboy69]

tremendous offering! much appreciated, play on

[sackitoome]

I LOVE IT, how you're in the kitchen. You're like "yea, I play guitar anywhere". Good lesson aswell.

[polarandlee]

Good stuff. You are reading out chord names, though: I'd rather hear the root of the chord and a description of the harmonic change -- an observation of the melodic features, such as descending bass lines and familiar patterns like I IV VI, i vii VI V.

Just brilliant, this helped me so much in my journey of playing manouche, I'm a gypsy so that's why I'm so drawn to this style of music,thanks for the vid :)

[tambascodominick]

close up please!!!

[malgrosch]

Thank you very much. You should do a book. You take it in bite size chunks. Good stuff.

[jblusse]

Amazing lesson. Thanks for the video and the tabs! Really great to have both, very very helpful.

[crucifr1ed]

Hey man, really nice of you to post all the vids and pdfs. If I wasn't so skint I'd buy you a beer

[thrip]

@crucifr1ed Maybe when you're a famous gypsy jazz guitarist!!?...

[crucifr1ed]

@thrip Deal! :)

[Jackolafrite]

Thank's man I from france your work is very nice !

You play on a Jean Pierre favino Guitare ?

[thrip]

@Jackolafrite Thank you! The guitar is made by Godefroy Maruejouls

[jaymebaer]

I am very grateful. Goes through a great set of changes

I agree awesome thrip. Half diminished arpeggio is the key (for me). This is meaningful practice Thx

Watch out for the Aluminum substrate from the stove top espresso maker :)

[thrip]

@jaymebaer Thanks a lot, glad you like it! I googled aluminium substrate but couldn't find anything. You've made me paranoid! :)

[jblusse]

@thrip hey, just heard what this is from a friend. When you don't wash the espresso maker right after you use it, over time the bottom of the water compartment will get these spots on them. If you fill it with water you can actually smell it, not too nice. I don't think it's bad for your health, but it affects the taste. So, wash out the espresso maker after you use it!

9:12-9:32 was awesome....this is something to learn

[ledzeppelin2468]

If you read my mind when i first watched this you would have heard

"what a strange guitar...

Hey he's good...

Oh snap he's British!!!"

[SommySeven]

Thank you, I have learned a lot from this so far, and am learning more. I have begun to understand how the arpeggios go together.

[thrip]

@SommySeven Thanks for your feedback, good to know it's coming together for you.

[devondave22]

Thanks for the lesson, really helped! =)

[koreankayagum]

Try treating the first two chords of the A section (C#min7b5-Cmin7) as just a V of G. Done this way, the tune is quite easy to improv over. Just alternate between a V chord and a I chord when soloing (two measures of V and two measures of I). Give it a try. For those two measure sections of C#min7b5 and Cmin7, you can just use D7 arpeggio patterns (or Ab7 substitutions or Cdim substitutions).

[thrip]

@koreankayagum thanks for your input, but to my ears substituting a 7 chord for a half-diminished chord a semitone below just sounds all wrong.

[behzadbayati]

Good lesson. Thank you. You could put up the Tab and noted for this lesson. I enjoyed your explanation. Nice kitchen too btw.

[thrip]

@behzadbayati thanks, you can get the tab etc. at my website

[gagasaurio12]

[StragonRage]

Damn chords

[franjohnst]

Hello and thank you for sharing your skills.

One comment about the chord choice: the first can be called C# half dim if you like, it can also be looked upon as the 1st inversion of A7(9) but I think the 2nd chord should be Co not Cmin6 because of the F# in the melody. Cheers

[faebheankwest]

nice playing as always Tim!

[leozingy]

Great tips, nice video and audio... this is how all home-made lessons should be done! I'll tackle Djangology later on, you're right - it's quite hard! I'm working on some of your stuff in other clips. Keep the videos coming, they're amazing!

[davidmccormack]

Thank you so much for putting your lessons up for public access on YouTube. Your approach to the art of Django is truly inspirational.

[thrip]

Thanks for letting me know, very pleased you like them.

[emicad]

[thrip]

See you there!

[JuMonmerot]

[sgribber]

[mandocat2]

Thanks Tim. I liked the solo using just the arpeggios. Very helpful!

[hyperboreal]

Fantastic lesson. Thanks so much!
