very generous of you to offer this up for free. Thanks.

Best content on KZfaq as far as I know. You really pave the way for all of us, aspiring jazz players. And I also love how in one video you both answer a big question (flow, constructing a coherent solo) and a small question (the details, the how to, which notes...). This is perhaps the best part IMO- your ability to make all the bits and pieces into a unified strategy one can follow. Thanks again!

What I love about your approach is that you apply the feel of a phrase opposed to the theory of its components.This tells me you have a profound understanding of music.

Although I'm not really a guitarist I find you're your lessons very inspiring although a saxophonist.

Thanks Christiaan. You are officially my lead teacher. I have been playing guitar for years but never really knew what I should practice when it came to lead. Sure a lot of lead playing is instinctive, but at some point one becomes repetitive and needs to branch out. You are helping me to do that.

Hey Christiaan! I Just become a Patreon, you deserve it man, I'm learning a lot and I'm enjoying your practice way of explaining things. Great work!

Love this stuff Christiaan!! I remember buying the Ray Brown, "Summertime" cd way back when and being amazed with Ulf's playing!! I simply put it on the back burner and listened only. I did not try and copy him as I figured that it was out of my league. You have energized me and helped me believe that it's definitely attainable! Thanks for re-kindling my passion! You make a great teacher and I would love to see you live! I live in Vancouver, B.C. Canada (westcoast) and would be front and center in the crowd if you ever breezed through our neck of the woods! Thanks for what you do and making it so abundantly clear to us non-professionals!! Great stuff!!

Awesome insight into classic jazz licks. Thank you! Your vids are why I found a nylon string acoustic cutaway to work on these licks.

Many Thanks for sharing your knowledge Christiaan. One of the best channel to learn jazz. Maybe, you would do a third one with minor loops...

Congrats on passing the 5K subscribers mark. I'm sure you can easily add a lot more if you engage with people slightly outside GJ, your content is just as relevant for other jazz audiences.

Great tutorial Christiaan...

I would suggest listening to Kenny Burrell (midnight blue in particular) for more blues style inspiration. Nice video as always.

This is great stuff. I'm stealing all your licks.

To be honoust, what I learn from a saxophone player is to treat each chord the same. How?? Cmaj7 G7 over it or a B dim or even Cdim resolves back to the Tonic or maj7 this way the I II III etc seven steps could always substitue so a Dm7 could substitute Dominant and Vice versa with dominants the Maj7 sound nice on the relative IV bVI(George Benson) the bII(for Instance Joe henderson, (more a Phrygian sound)...so Tonic SD dim or Dominant give always possibilitie's to suggest different function different motion a Amaj7 over B7 works delaying a aminor works more dramatic a Eb over a A7 works modern a F#over a A7 is octatonic and not so often in Gypsie Jazz, but I think that French Great Giant knows those things...but still... Django- Parker(what about coltrane?) even the dimished scale in a gypsie way is different from normal jazz it is descending the opposite from ascending and like wise it offers the possibility to use vilon technique...to use the 4th finger to go up(Paganini actually) and the first finger to go down so switches and a strong glissando way of flow is than constant I love this Bridge between jazz and Gypsie music... I see you use a Lot of enclosure hole steps...put them together with a half step and there we go but make it half hole when gong down of course you know this but still for those who don't know...Amazing New Discoverie's!!!

Thanks so much for this: it's exactly what I was hoping you would do, every idea you present is top drawer. The loops are a really clever way of getting the shapes under your fingers and the sounds in your ears without unnecessary theory. I came to Gypsy Jazz fairly recently via straight ahead and listening to Pat Martino and Pat Metheny for 20 years, and it's a case for me of sifting through what works from that world and getting an authentic gypsy vocabulary going. Your videos are really helping me to pull it all together. I'm fascinated by the distinction between Dutch and French approaches to the fretboard, would love to hear more about this. You mention George Benson frequently: so does he essentially use Gypsy Picking but in a different hand position?

I really like these lines! I learn one , and I'm am like ," this is so natural i won't forget " But then the next day i forgot . I am writing them down , position #1 , Position 2, Blues lick .

great explanations ....

Great video! Do you use these types of loops on minor chords too?

Hey Christiaan, just found your videos and I've been binge watching them. Very big fan of your approach to music, and agree with you about learning phrases instead of theoretical minutia. Just had a quick question... are you playing those bluesy loops over Gmaj6 chords (as opposed to maj7). Is it important to make the distinction, or do you just play them anytime the song sheet says major. They seem almost dominant, which is why I imagine they sound so cool and bluesy. Great videos.

This site is a great find. Very informative. What was the name of the guitarist you discovered that had all the transcriptions of players like joe pass, wes, etc? Are those transcriptions you mentioned in a book?

What is the player's name you refer to at 4:53? The one who put Joe Pass and George Benson ideas together? Eua Fakalius? I want to look him up but have no idea how to spell his name. Thanks.

I wonder if you know the fretboard that well as you always seem to be able to call the notes out or if you learn these as you make the prepping and the videos..

Yes right out of Charlie Parker. That, bebop scales, altered scales, diminished, maj 7. Essentially you are playing bebop. Just add some enclosures, chromaticism , play over tunes that are more complex harmonically and rhythmically...you will be playing bop!

Those ARE the real blues licks. Listen to T bone Walker, Gatemouth Brown. Blues licks are different nowadays because of the influence of BB King who introduced extreme bending in imitation of slide guitar. He influenced the modern blues cats Albert King, Freddie King, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy (BB started " choking" the neck [Buddy Guy]) and the rockers in the 60s Clapton et al
