How To Use Diminished Licks To Get That Gypsy Sound In Your Solos
In this lesson you'll learn how to get good at soloing in gypsy jazz.
This is especially useful for gypsy jazz guitarists who want to build confidence in their soloing.
A big part of the recognizable sound that Django and the gypsy players use is 'Diminished Harmony'.
This is what gives gypsy jazz solo lines their exotic flavor.
BUT it can be a headache to figure out where and how to apply diminished harmony to your solos, and there's much confusion surrounding this topic.
To make this very easy for you, I will teach you my simple 3-step system which you can use to get this sound in your solos.
Let’s clear up any confusion surrounding this topic and get crystal clear!
Here's How To Do It:
Step 1. Identify dim shapes for E7
Step 2. Play over 'Minor Swing' using the dim shapes in place of E7
Step 3. Now try an arpeggio or a lick based from the dim shapes
Try this concept on other tunes & keys like,
'Dark Eyes' & 'Sweet Georgia Brown'
Also don't be afraid to leave space! This will make your solo even more musical :-)
Don't over think this but instead be consistent and actually do it every day.
In one weeks time you will notice the difference!
