Gypsy Traditional Waltz

[Hoganbeg]

You guys have a lot of potential but the lead is playing beyond his capabilities. Slow it down to where you can accent the proper beats and hit the notes cleanly and evenly and it will begin to sound like music.

[vinescrybe]

Shelob for spider fingers, this is the song every sinner hears before he dies.

[laguasa1]

nylon strings?

[FenceThis]

@laguasa1 no, not nylon strings, Gypsy jazz strings,most likely Savarez Argentines

[garyTHEGYPSY]

omg, his hands dont look real. he's a machine.

[xemosintightsx]

this piece must have an actual name..??

[JackHauss]

Good thing I keep a fire extinguisher near my computer.

[pencap23]

Hey that's Jimmy Rosenberg, is it not?

[gwippinz]

it is! his picking hand is quite distinctive

[enakrium]

yep

[juanmanuelmiguezz]

yeah

[caseyspaos]

Yes!

I'd recognize that right hand technique anywhere!

[red5media]

slow down

[robbourassaguitarist]

Great stuff.

[systemaudio57]

Pinky dill hole ass wipe. Its all the same

[marcusamarrious]

[GarryPlotteur]

[guitaneman]

jimmy ''awsome'' rosenberg

[TLPnega]

lol so dumb......he does use his pinky you fucking retard.......did u even watch the video HAHAHAHAHAHA

[josephsamuelappel]

actually, he used his pinky over 12 times, he was playing most of the waltz in open position, which doesn't require use of as many fingers, if any on some notes, look more carefully before you post negative comments...

...p.s. let's see your version of the waltz and see whose is better.

[bnnne]

jimmy plays the entire piece with out using his pinky once. what a shame.

[pinchandtwist]

What a nerd! Maybe his pinky is tired from having it up your moms ass

[belfastgypsy1]

I know that my finger cetainly is. Fine woman though.

[korntwist1]

what the fuck is ur problem dude? hahaha

[thomaski]

blind?

[svidrigajlov]

actually you are right. Lots of manouche guitarists use pinky finger only when its strictly necessary, also Stochelo Rosenberg often use the third finger instead of the pinky, but this is not shame, its just a different way to play, and as you can see it sounds pretty good anyway uh?

[LatchesPH]

WTF!!! I've never seen this vid of Jimmy!!! Where did you find that???

[tallboyrelaxed]

Fantastic! That is Jimmy Rosenberg playing!

Thanks for uploading!

[Gadjo88]

Jimmy is great. How is the Waltz called???

[agento86]

I could be wrong but I believe this song is named as the intro title indicates. I have a Lulu Weiss Quartet album (a must listen to especially if you are into to the more Romany spirit of this music) with this same cut.

The track is listed as "gypsy valse (traditional)" on that album.

Anyone with more info, please contribute.

Cheers

Wow! Fantastic playing. Not Django Reinhardt but a modern version perhaps. I love the guitars too (I don't have a single nylon/"gut" string guitar anymore - I am planning a trip to Spain just to buy some!! I heard they make fantastic guitars in Russia!!?? Also I met a guy in Washington Square park who was playing a guitar that he claimed was one of Reinhardt's !!??!?!?) Thanks for the culture!

[thomashoffman]

actually, those are steel string guitars.

[graffjamie]

Yes, you are absolutely correct. My bad. Thanks for pointing that out. The guy in Washington Square had steel string too! I am not sure what I was thinking. Do you play?

[thomashoffman]

I do, I recently bought a Cigano D-hole Selmac style guitar, which you can see Joscho Stephan play in one of my videos (the one with Frank Vignola). Do you play any?

[graffjamie]

Sounds wonderful. I will have to check it out. Yeah, I play but I don't play much in this style. I play a lot of classic rock, blues, metal, some jazz. I started on piano at three and now I have "taught myself" to play virtually all musical instruments. Do you play only in this style or do you play others as well?

[thomashoffman]

I play this style, as well as classical guitar, fingerstyle, metal and some Zappa and other generic rock.

[graffjamie]

Yeah, I was just checking out your channel - great stuff!

[rextangle]

Oh man, that's Jimmy Rosenberg on the right!

[gijsforever]

I don't have any words... One of the reïncarnations of Django Reinhardt. Great work, hope to see you play live someday. Gijs
