I take it the word, "manouche", refers to what I've been calling "Gypsy jazz". But I have never seen nor heard the word before. Where does it come from? What does it mean literally?I
I have this DVD. I like that you teach licks and how they fit over chord shapes, so that people can make music rather than get caught up in all the theory. Eventually these phrases will be part of your playing and you will find way to make it uniquely yours.
hey dennis, great playin man - thanks so much for sharing the secrets of manouche playin in english. Question, for single line playing on one string, is the forearm rotated while the wrist is limp? I'm trying to work this into my jazzbox playing like howard, buck pizz, and frank do. I just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything to mess up my writst (that's the reason why the style is great). thanks again and the rosenberg stuff is nuts!
except , i wrote out the plan for my dvd before andreas' book came out... i must have gone to the future and ripped it off and came back so that one day fakesoundsjazz1983 will find out...... or maybe , maybe .... just maybe it was a django lick that everyone in this style plays
Hahaha... This is funny. Thanks for the great insight into a beatiful style of playing. I play mandolin and this was enlightening style. Cheers D. -nick
thanks denis!
