@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...

Wow, what a great solo, especially the opening! I've gotta get this DVD.

@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.

@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.

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

[guitargamery]

thumbs up by the way!!

[guitargamery]

...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.
