[indianandroid]

Thanks man, very useful lesson...GOD BLESS YOU!

[mrRage81]

good stuff! any bands anyone can recommend? ( not just Django! LOL) maybye theres someone modern who's still doing gypsy jazz? cheers

[907mario]

....just wondering.....I've always heard that your left hand fingernails should be clipped very shortly, but yours appear to be a little bit too long for playing chords or playing lead. Do they get in your way of playing at all?

[joshoconnell1989]

Thanks alot Paul.

[devtty7]

The chord from around the 10:00 is in fact the Bm7b5 or B half-diminished.

[bravegrrl]

yo!...saw you play at the "one eyed gypsy" with a band called "hello trouble"...

smokin hot guitar! thanks for the swing tips here.

[WillBakerMorrison]

great vid - common 4 note chords a lot due to freddie green learning on a banjo ;)

[Fabijanson]

[necrosean]

ahahahahahaah

[gunsnrosescovers]

Great Vid

[dmmc1043]

hi there, no disrespect intended, but you did everything you're not supposed to do in gypsy jazz as far as the rhythm playing goes,: ornaments, sound, attack, left hand voicings... The rhythm sound should be more like a greasy B3 organ, very dirty and juicy. for example on your first beat, there's too much attack, it needs to be more of a "swiish" sound... anyway, best of luck!

[accuruneide]

I do like the way you teach buddy.

[gildedgatsby]

Could you slow down the BASIC right hand? Up down up...? HELP!

[Nachtmahr]

just wondered why nothing has worked, then i noticed: i cant jazz the gypsy without that hat, damn

[jesus81831]

good good  i like

[BNaVaRo]

i'm trying to do the chords but i can't avoid pluging the high strings and feels wrong, do i have to do something with te pickie to mute them?

[NoslemProductions]

This guy is ridiculously good looking.

[TheDoctorFixer]

if you turn on the subtitles this lesson is twice the fun! :D

[elisprague]

this stuff is awsome!

[96JUSTIN]

are you davids dad?

[exhesham]

NextLeveLGuitar should give a lesson about eastern scales!GO NLG!!!

[SirAaronEdward]

what exactly are Argentine strings?

[sk84life1983]

love the lesson :) how do u play with your nails so long on your left hand lol good skills

[bharatBhushanKonka]

hmm, how does he plays chords with those huge nails in left hand.

[ShogaNinja]

Great video! Django is the shit. I don't know about the long fretting nails and the overuse of the baseball grip though. Your teacher would hit your hand with a switch! :)

[oldrockmustard]

Happy Happy Happy New Year to you all !!!!

[yopatao]

I've seen Jeff play guitar several times in person and was pleasantly surprised to see him the YouTube. This guy can play anything.

[IZAYJAH]

more of this guy hes the best

[RodneySTR]

cool stuff :) cheers

[RALPH7109]

Thats a serious work out....!

[mhandel]

This is cool. Gypsy Jazz is very cool, and I like that the guy doesn't stop to explain which fret of which string every single finger is going on for every chord and phrase. Also, man he can play! Keep up the jazz lessons!

[BeatBay]

Thank you very much for this great free lesson!

[jc8984]

[justjoe032]

looks like he could be davids dad haha

[benthemiester]

great tips man.

[manfromregina]

I've never really heard "Gypsy Jazz", before today.

So Iwake this morning, and CBC radio, they are broadcasting a recorded live performance of a Gypsy Jazz band from Montreal.

So here I sit with a ROGP clip sent to my YT site a few hours ago, and it's a Gypsy Jazz lesson... this is kinda wierd.

anyhoo.. Good playing.

I'd like to hear GJ played with distortion lol.

Cheers

[RockingInTheH0Use]

[Tezman82]

Yes indeed, thanks for round two..keep em' coming.

[mrfullofhimself]

one of the things ive always love about watching other guitar players is theyre face and the expressions they do while they are focusing

[guitarpromoter]

brillant

[DJDrSciFi]

Nice lesson.

I like your feel.

Good stuff.

Peace.

^_^

[zaraka2]

this lesson is awesome, learned a whole new thing pretty easily in 10 minutes !

[didisse]

thk's so much !

[josequiles7]

does that guitar has nylon strings?

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@josequiles7 Nope :)

[josequiles7]

@QueenToKingOfSpades i think it does have nylon strings indeed

[rockongoodpeople]

Actually the strings used on the guitar in this lesson are Argentine strings, they are not nylon - they are copper wound silver plated strings that give that authentic manouche sound

take care and rock oN!

David T

[QueenToKingOfSpades]

@josequiles7 I can assure you that this is not the case :) If you say this from looking at the headstock and not the sound of the strings, you need to listen to some music, and play more music ;) Take care :)

[josequiles7]

@QueenToKingOfSpades i did not say that because of the headstock, it actually sounds a lot like my galicia nylon spain, i do listen to a lot of music, also i've been playing guitar/bass/piano for almost 10 years now, and im currently in 6 different groups of music. you should not mistake a doubt for anything else regarding music. best wishes!

[ragrytakr]

@josequiles7

Yap

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - no, the strings on the guitar are not nylon - they are Argentine strings

rock oN!

David T

[jhudso]

cool guitar

[robicool]

how cool, thanks for introducing us to this style of music, its great!

[outside1]

does anyone know what brand guitar this is?

[rockongoodpeople]

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

take care and rock oN!

David T

[MusicAndDaren]

3:37 written voicings are wrong. the guy is playing X775XX and 3:44 is also wrong. the guy is playing 5X45XX.

[rockongoodpeople]

Hi - appreciate the email - the written voiceings are correct - they show the full chord if you want to play all the strings - this video the instructor is playing mainly using the E A D and sometimes G strings - but the voiceings are correct - take care and keep on rocking!

David T

[pockthehairy]

@MusicAndDaren They're not wrong at all; if you listen to the video he tells you that Gypsy Jazz guitarists sometimes miss out notes in chords, which is exactly what he's done.

It would be wrong if they showed what you have written on the screen as that's not the full chord.

[guitarfan84]

God bless NLG for hosting Jeff Paul Ross!

[ElGbayRGX]

i want jazz and they givme jazz......this is the best !!!!!! NLG 4evr !!

[Rockabillykid01]

I´m glad I found these videos, I don´t think there are too many beginners lessons, at least not of this quality

[littlewing22222]

you have the same type of guitar as Django..

[snackeater45]

Hi !

Can you tell me Some famous people who plays Guitar manouche cause i want to discover that style please^^

Thanks in advance ^^!

[PabloFireFrenzy]

@snackeater45 Try stochelo rosenberg for starters, and leigh jackson is pretty famous on youtube. But also try songs: Dark eyes, minor swing those are nice. Also djangofest is where many gypsy jazz players gather, there's plenty of footage of them playing on youtube

[devilxreject]

What kind of guitar is that?

[hazor777]

@devilxreject : a GITANE , I believe.......you can alo check out Selmer-Macaferri guitars....

[detroitsdeadliest]

What kind of guitar is that????

[TheBigMclargehuge]

I love these lessons.

[ErosaScuderia]

David Taub = Win

[zorbazoo]

Love the spirit of this style...I can envision my mood changing as I learn this technique

[Thaqib]

wow, nice guitar!

[whenindoubtdanceout]

what are some sweet/exotic scales that would work over these chords in a solo?

[HeavyMetalRage1]

@whenindoubtdanceout Though it is "gypsy" jazz, it's still jazz. Use plenty of chromaticism, and be sure to understand all of the theory behind the chords and their voicings. Jazz has no boundaries, but it still has rules, as does all music.

[Bitchflakes666]

@HeavyMetalRage1 music has no bounds unless you put them up like you do obviously.

[HeavyMetalRage1]

@Bitchflakes666 I'm not here to insult your interpretation of what music is. Music does not have boundaries as most think them, but merely markers where one type of music is to become another. Tell me, if this style of music were to be sped up, played on a heavily distorted guitar, and a blastbeat or two were to be added behind it, would it still be Gypsy Jazz? No, because a "boundary" would have been passed, and the music would resemble something more along the lines of Tech Death.

[hellsSG]

@HeavyMetalRage1 Yeah, but take metal for example. as soon as it speeds up a little its suddenly a WHOLE NEW genre

[0adireita]

Now imagine this with a bass...

AWESOME!

[magirecords2004]

Django! Nice!

[Slickpete83]

sounds like the theme song to the TV show "Monk"

[CashWood97]

he looks like my grandpa :)

[ohml1188]

Nice lesson... and nice hat XD

[Mo7Vsta]
