Yes. Watching from Eugene, Oregon, USA

Robin, you sir are the Pied Piper of Gypsy Jazz guitar. You have helped a lot of people get into this wonderful music. Keep it going my brother....

Greetings from Copenhagen, Robin 👋😄 Many thanks...! 🙏🙂💓

Thanks yet again Robin another gem you are an inspiration.

At last someone who explains 'real life' approach to Gypsy Jazz' I normally play Blues but exploring new sounds cheers from UK

Brilliant! Always grateful for the way you open the door to this music!

Watching from my RV while boondocking at the Newkirk's in Tehachapi, California, USA. Been here since summer trying to find affordable housing. Hoping to make the pilgrimage to "Django in June."

unbelievably good info, lots to work on, I especially like the 3rd method of bouncing and flow . I'll be trying it when it flows from me. thank-you so much for your excellent lessons!

Well I’m back again Robin, and at Least I know two licks now ! Early days thanks for the inspiration !

Outstanding, I love that lick you taught. Every lesson is a treasure. Thanks again Robin👏🙏

Much love from Innsbruck, Austria ♥ Thanks so much for your great work, it's so inspiring!

This is another fantastic lesson I could follow😊I had put this aside, now I am back into it as it's simple and easy to follow with Tabs than notes, pls continue this method of teaching slowly developing into different levels that can be bought online. Thanks a Ton👍👏🏽❤️

Watching from Paris, France sir ! Starting my journey in « jazz manouche » as we say in French, and I’m gonna follow and apply your teaching, huge thanks for it !

Love this man. Thanks for breaking things down and offering some great tools for the pocket. As a new player to GJ, I like the idea of breaking things down chord by chord vs losing those chord changes in a flurry of notes as you say. I think that makes for more memorable melody and style. Cheers from BC, Canada.

Hi from Tenerife. I love your videos! thanks to you I'm finally getting into gipsy jazz

Thanks for teaching us,very appreciated ! watching from italy

Mil gracias. Magnifico maestro.

Hi Robin - from NYC I’m actually learning “All of Me” now and this was super helpful: especially the tip to play the A minor scale with the major 7th - makes so much sense, since the G# is the major 3rd in the E major chord and E7th chord. Love the “Bouncy” method too, very simple and effective.

Robin is such an enthusiast, its contagious.

Robin listening to you at 26 min repeating sometingi hear you often say. When i heard you a couple of times way back in Barna i had zero idea how much music theory you had or had not immersed in ---- i just knew that this was truly great music on all levels i too wanted to excel on --- just for the sheer pleasure. I always had a serious prob with maths and music theory so what you say has been a great relief --- that learning does not have to be a brain-sweat, but more about ear, heart, imagination and tuned-in perception. Truly great vids --- and free --- one could feel a terrible thief!

Amazing and right on as always!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, times a million! Best regards from Halesworth, Suffolk UK.

Hi robin, thanks for the video primary a jazz player but your gypsy jazz stuff is so useful and easy to follow, really appreciate it and love the ideas I've watched all you videos and your really inspiring to all of us, I've learned so much useful material from you. Keep up the great videos! 🎸much love from the states

Weer een mooie les! Bedankt Robin! I've always really enjoyed what you describe as the 'bouncing' concept. It resonates (hah) much better with me than scalar obsessions do. As an exercise, I like to purposefully 'hang' on one or two notes for a while, until I'm really craving the sound of a specific note to be added. Only at that point, I'll add it to the mix. Doing this forces me to listen carefully to the sounds, and internalize them that way. Best results achieved at night in a dark room, cutting out visual stimuli. I find it quite exciting to discover how the notes respond to one another after I introduce them.

Mega Video My friend !! Greetings from Manchester UK.. 🖐

Didn't see this live, from Sydney Australia, but watching in an airbnb in London. Great stuff, as always. This was a good one.

Watching from Leith, Edinburgh…. thanks for the great videos!

This is very useful for those who have never really gotten the hang of improvising. However, I would love to hear your approach to two other aspects of the music. #1-- GJ music has a characteristic sound that differentiates it from other jazz. It would be great to hear how you approach production of that sound. I suspect that in addition to the flurry of notes one often hears there are other more approachable techniques (for the average player) such as string bending, vibrato, slides and tremolo to mention a few. #2-- In any improvisation I feel that one needs to follow the chord pattern but it is most interesting to keep the original melody and its harmonies in mind as one works out their solo. If that is not done, the solos all start to sound alike. I know that you follow this principal but it would be great to hear how you conceive or think about this process. Thanks for all the videos. You are really doing a great job of sharing this music with others.

Plano, Texas. You are the best!

From the Idaho pan-handle 2fishes says, old guy, new tourist joins the cyberwave... pulled you from random to add "gypsy jazz" to my repertoire. Your instructions work for me! During brief research into music's origin, your name is included with "best" instruction! I'm impressed, very fortunate to find ya

Watching from southern France my dude, your videos are great and enjoyably instructive. Keep up !

What a likable guy,

Well Robin, if you really like to know: I am in Voorburg. F$%king Voorburg. So thanks for the videos, they keep me busy here when there is little else to do in the vicinity. All the best!

Many thank's from Sweden !!!!

well I'm watching from India...jazz is life

Bravo! Ciao from Rome, Italy!

Your lessons are so great!! One request: for teaching licks can you call out the intervals [you can still call out the frets] but knowing the intervals gives us a deeper understanding to what's happening under the hood. Thanks!

Watching from Los Angeles! Great stuff!

Like the bounce, has authentic sound

Illinois .Love your videos

Hi Robin ! from France. Normandy. Rouen, more precisely. Thanks for you vids, it helps having a very interesting point of view of playing, and call as much inspiration as possible. Is'nt it the most important thing to feel and give, to feel joy when you play ?

Thanks from Titusville, Florida, U.S.

Getting a lot out of these vids dude, cheers, Brendan in Ireland.

Hi from Herford, Germany

I feel I have a decent amount of knowledge. Just engaging the mind is the problem. Simplify…. Even on any song. Rock for example. Bounce. We need to talk! Lol

The chords shapes of C and E7 that I have from Swing 42 is different from what I see on this Video, could you pls show the shape or diagram pls, thanks😊

Are you on the Amsterdam herbal remedies? All that thanks for the love stuff is a bit before your time still interesting guitar sound

NO NO ROBIN IT'S BEEN TRAGEDY! ...and it all started out so well. I just wrote a whole song with lyrical flow about my thanks for you, love to your people, and the rhymes went rolling off Oakland up The Sunset Coast Beaches to The Redwood Empire Mountains of Sonoma and Mendo (leaving Humbolt Smoke for next time cuz we driving ...drivin our guitars anyway😉 and I gotta focus🤨LOL) and it ended up with the best rhymes anybody ever put down ....at least, the best hip-hop that's about gypsy guitars and Napa wines written by a thirty-eleven year old white dude like me who can't spit a rap to save his life. Also it was in 3/4, which I happen to know personally is not something Oakland hip hop fans appreciate 😂. BUT, I wrote it here in the comments directly; didn't want to put down the guitar. Spent an hour. Then I got some Google alert message on the phone (with Do Not Disturb on no less) and KZfaq fucking erased it all forever😣. Before I could post the "comment". Im crushed and angry and I'll have to come back to this lesson later lest I smash my idiot phone to bits😆 Anyway live to you and best livin to you and your people, whoever, and wherever y'all may be!

Hey What do you think about using a nylon string guitar for this? And do you think a pick is necessary?

I'm confused about the dominant E7 section. I know I could play an E mixolydian over that, or base a lick around the E7 arpeggio, but why does the Am harmonic scale work? there's a flat 2nd (the F) which feels like it oughtn't to belong, but to our ears it does! Why? Robin has previously said you can play diminished licks over dominant 7s, which would incorporate the F in this instance, though I believe that diminished only works over a dominant 7 when it's a functioning dominant 5 (like in Minor Swing), which it isn't in this case. So I just don;'t get why the F works (and, by extension, why Robin has picked the Am harmonic over the E in this song). Can anyone help me with the theory, here? Please?

In the kitchen, Fresno, Ca

I'm not nitpicking or trying to find fault - just trying to play what you intended but I'm questioning one of the licks you played for the C and E7 chords. The lick you played for E7 - beginning on the 'a' note on the 14th fret of the 'g' string followed by a 'g' sliding to an 'ab' then a 'b' etc When you put the two licks together and came to the E7 part the first note you played was a 'g' sliding to an 'ab' then a 'b' . I find both of these work but which do you feel is correct or is this just subject to individual interpretation? I am a British rock guitar player of some experience and want to try my hand (no pun intended) at some jazz tunes.
