The action of the guitar is far too low for this sort of music!

[rkatz]

How can you tell?

It's pretty bold to speak so confidently about what Jazz is. I think one can make a pretty strong argument that the basis of Jazz is innovation, not strict rules or dogma. Perhaps certain schools of Jazz study are rule based, but certainly not the music itself. Peace.

good! transcribe this and send it to me!

Robin Katz has a way of phrasing which places him with the creme de la creme players: Django, Angelo Debarre and Rocky Gresset.

@tzuiop It looks like it's made by Maccaferri to me (or a copy). This make of guitar is very popular with the gypsy jazzers.

What kind of guitar is this? Who made it?

[Flopsydoodle]

You can't tell that the action is too low. It's a matter of personal preference. He's picking quite hard which makes the strings clack on the fretboard a lot. A lighter touch with the right hand and keeping left hand fingers down more would increase this guys speed by a huge amount. He's certainly got the chops.

[rifraf2140]

@rkatz By the buzzing of your strings. And perhaps it's true that the low action isn't the best for gypsy swing but it increases the playingcomfort and perhaps it's a sound that you prefere

[kazukimiyu]
