...i liked it but two things..why is called gypsy jazz...this definitely isnt jazz or gypsy.. i teach jazz at the superior school of porto..well as you guys know jazz can have different meanings, interpretation, performance, aproach etc... but this?? it sounds great but more like new orleans fast swing??lol..well anyway sorry its just my sincear opinion, i think ( even with the different routes that jazz can go) this isnt gypsy or jazz, for the lead guitar , your left hand dont look very well.
@guitargamery Well i'd hate to tell you, but this style of music is quintessential gypsy jazz. Also, what kind of "school" would hire a teacher who can't even spell simple words? "Aproach"? "Sincear"? "Your left hand dont look very well"? C'mon man, you aren't fooling anyone. It's ok though, you are just ignorant to this style of music (and the English language), just refrain from speaking about things you don't know.
@kakahich Mostly Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Whole Tone Scale and Chromatic Scale.
But they use a lot more arpeggios with colorations like dominant 9 chords, minor 6/9, major 6/9 dominant 13 dominant 7, diminished, half diminished etc...
@GassyCoke Not being a smartass - sincerely asking here: do you really suppose this guy is thinking, "Okay, I'll dip into some harmonic minor; now I'll come out of that with some whole-tone, go for some chromaticism, hit some melodic minor, go back to melodic minor, etc." ??? I really don't know! It seems unlikely to me, though I'm aware that some beboppers DO think almost like this. Seems this guy plays lots of arpeggios, with single-line bursts and licks to tie them together. Almost. Ha.
@inky960 Learning scalar patterns for this style is not necessary, but you should be able to visualize major/minor/dominant arpeggio shapes all over the neck (around seven zones for each type). What trips most people up at the beginning is the picking style, which requires you to use a downstroke everytime you change a string (in other words, not always strict up/down picking). Coming up with licks that use two notes per string helps you play faster since it will be up/down for each string.
@inky960 With enough practice, the "thinking" element of music escapes you and it become second nature. But to answer the question, most players that have developed their technique to such a level do think, but they know where all of the patterns and colors are that they want to achieve a particular sound. It is like a painter who is just learning to mix colors, and an experiences colorist :)
@kakahich While GassyCoke is correct about Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Whole Tone Scales and Chromatic Scales, along with the improvisational variants centered around arpeggios and chordal formations as opposed to scales, the Hungarian Minor scale is also used very extensively, especially in older music. One may argue that Hungarian minor is just harmonic minor with variations, which it is, but the Hungarian influence is where Django borrowed from for his interpretations into his own style.
thanks to D. chang for introducing this guy. I have never heard of him, nor sure how to pronounce his name, nevertheless, he is fab. and in my opinion, as good as the other headliners.
Im in the middle of the danse solo and im still working on it but i love your arrangements. I hope to keep learning from you. Also I am friends with Loren Barrigar and play with him once in a while, look him up on youtube! thanks Adrian,
yes the DVD has 2 hours of upclose performance footage in a very informal setting so you really get to observe his style as he plays through practically every standard chord progression/song at different tempos.. and another hour where he teaches some of his concepts / licks
thumbs up by the way!!

@guitargamery If this isn't gypsy jazz then what the hell was Django Reinhardt famous for?
