it just amazes me how generous the professionals are with their knowledge, FREE! Thanks Joscho Stepahn

Love seeing this focus on the right hand. And Joscho has one of the best in the business.

Joscho has not just a rocksolid gypsy technique, what's very special that he developed also a very modern approach to the classic Djangotechnique. Very nice!

If you think this is too basic, then you don't get what Mr. Stephan is driving at. This is an awesome technique to master!!

That's one of the essential gypsy-guitar-techniques. You come out with a double-down when playing triplets like this. You'd consider a strict alternate motion to be faster. But some players (Joscho included) gain exceptional high speed with the douple-down. Plus, you have a more dynamic expression because you always hit the 1 note stronger than 2 and 3. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for this great lesson. I look forward to seeing you show more secrets of your magic mastery in the future. Greetings from Taiwan!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏...clear, honest and important knowledge.

Systematic and sensible. Thanks Joscho.

Great lesson!

Excellent! Thanks a mill, more like this please!

Thank you!

Thanks! You are incredibly good!! And explain very well. I'am a very poor guitarist but i like to try these exercises. Thanks again, ciao!

Amazing playing and a great Christopher Walken impression too!

loads of respect

Good explanation, thank you!

I do up down up descending and down up down ascending. But I’ll try it his way. He’s incredible!

Great lesson ... I will work on it, thank you

Thanx for the tip Joscho !! ^_^

Thanks a lot really helpful 🙏

Thanks!

Love your music and all that you do. WOW! You the man! I am senior and well I love jamming. I know just enough to have a lot of bad habits. Then again I play alone and loud on electric in my house. I may buy an acoustic. I have time to enjoy listening. I have no discipline. So becoming an expert is not my goal. I enjoy improving although experts would probably wonder what I am doing if they heard and saw me. I am a fan of blues and bluesjazz styles for jamming. I adore listening to Gypsy swing music and the many interpretations. Your first Hey Joe is unequaled. The Black Orpheus with Skollelli is delectable.

Thank master

Danke 💐🍀

Super !

I don't play gypsie music but this guide is great for any style

This is an awesome lesson!

Thank you

amazing

Nice!

My guitar hero

Awesome

You are the best love your playing i just didn't want to pass with out giveing a comment keep it up

4:42 Don't follow the dot there's a small mistake, just follow the intuitive pattern he shows. Very good video thanks

Trop Coole le JAZZ Manouce !

I realized how you're hooking your pinky finger under the strings to give more stability AND at the same time mute strings you're not currently picking. It feels weird for me to do that but I'll try this exercise. More right hand focus appreciated, there is so much to it that often doesn't meet the eye but it's crucial for developing accuracy, speed and clarity.

Thanks

Yup ... Great advice for any guitarist. Work on "clean" before you work on "fast." Excellent lesson - both in terms of "video production quality" and gypsy guitar technique. Thank You.

Joscho your a master guitarist...Fantastic...Made Hendrix look like a little kid...Would love to hear your rendition of th Collins Shuffle...Albert Collins...with Henry on sax.

Thanks.

Joscho Stephan & JimmyRosenberg & Stochelo Rosenberg concert - that will be the most amazing event... #lvl80 #lvlGOD

Hei my distant friend, congratulations from São Paulo Brazil

Wow, I appreciate all of these great ideas. These techniques seem impossible at first but I like the way you broke them down into small, manageable steps. I especially liked the section where you marked each of the strings you played with a red dot for more clarity. Thanks for the great video and the chance to enter this contest.

Mr. Stephen is hands down one of the few best guitar players in the world. Accurate and insanely clean playing. For his quality this is not a class, this is public service.

Thank you Joscho for a great and focused lesson! When picking at higher speeds, do you still do strict rest strokes, or do you feel that you use the other string as a “psychological rest stroke”, continually thinking about the other string so that you stay loose in the right hand? Cheers and best wishes for 2021, Jz

4:42 I think the one editing this might have misplaced that second last red dot. He's designating the strings beforehand, a pattern that goes like so: e' - g - b - d - g - A - d - E (two stings up, one back, repeat). Just in case anyone got confused by that as I did

Hey Joscho! Thanks for the lesson! Great stuff! I hope u can reply to this question: Do you by any chance have the tabs/lecture for your amazing song "Blues for Stochelo"? I love that melody and would like to learn how to play the main melody. Also want to learn the rhythm guitar part.

Joscho, I know you dont like to hear it, but you sir, are the best guitar player in the world!!

Everybody comments on how can Django be so unbelievable using only 2 fretting fingers. its his right hand picking technique that is so superhuman and faster than the eye can see that makes up for his injured fingers

Absolute gold dust Worth of knowledge right there... One of the best phrasers out there.. Greetings from India!

I like very most your job. You is Django new.

Thanks. That's what Im practicing every day.

großartig. es wäre ein Traum mal mit Dir zu spielen :-) lg aus Aachen

I have a question. Whats the point of the rest stroke?

Nice ! Wanna win ehe !!

Great tips as always Joscho! Question: which pick do you use?

Thanks for the content Joscho! Do you recommend using rest stroke gypsy picking on a normal acoustic guitar? I've heard that the string spacing on acoustics makes it more difficult. Is it worthwhile?

That is the same as alternate picking just remember that all first notes are down strokes correct?

It's techneeeque. Not Technik. Fellow German from Niedersachsen hier. Just a friendly reminder. I too sometimes pronounce it wrong. Excellent playing by the way. Huge fan of yours.

Kannst Du mal bitte erklären, wozu die Rest-Strokes dienen? Für mich als Blues- und Rock-Gitarrist ist das eher ungewöhnlich.

Did I miss the lesson how to hold your plectrum?

Like#10 thanks for share!! Greetings from Spain

Did Django play with pick?

What's the name of the piece at 5:41?

I had an idea that its super important to move RH from the elbow when playing gypsy jazz

I learned a lot more in these six minutes than in one lesson with my guitar teacher. My bad.

Question, why the double downstroke instead of straight alternate picking or economy picking?

Could you explain to me Why you start with a down stoke on every string, that seems very uneconomical to me, thanks

You look like John Snow

Is it me or does he sound a lot like Christopher Walken when he talks?

i guess

The subtitles hide your hands 😢

Oh no! The red dot played the wrong string! It should have stuck with a comfortable tempo instead of trying to play too fast... : )

So the last note is a downward stroke and the next string is struck as a downward also..no coming up on to next string with an upward stroke ...wasted motion to me ..not economical picking..i don't know how the gypsy jazz guy's are so fast ..baffling lol

Сплошное бла-бла ! Я надеялся самого Рейнхардта увидеть в игре !

If you watch the little finger, you see that it anchors the position of the right hand . Not sure just how automatic this is, but it makes a big difference in location of the pick to the string you want to be picking.

Thank you!
