Thanks for all the help Sven, after your lessons so far, I really feel like I’m starting to make some progress with gypsy chords and playing rhythm.

This may be the best explanation and breakdown of La Pompe that I've seen...both in the strumming technique and explaining the left hand chord muting. Thank you!

Die Hofner Gitarre ist einfach nur klasse und der Spieler hat bestimmt heimlich geübt 😉👍

Trying my best to elevate my playing and your video's, amongst the many others who freely give their time to help us in this genre, are simply a godsend. Thank you so much for all that you do.

A really helpful video, Sven. I've played guitar for many years, but I'm a newcomer to Gypsy Jazz. Upon first hearing Django, I thought that the rhythm sounded straight-forward, but after having attempted it for the first time, I realised how deceptively simple the swing rhythm really is. Thanks very much for this tutorial. I'm looking forward to seeing the Joscho Stephan concert in Vilnius next week.

Hi Thanks for all your great videos I have learned so much from you . Ben

Sven, I could listen to you for hours... that little progression has potential.

Super👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Yes! I finally got it! You showed it so well le pompe came easily. Now i need to keep playing along so i dont loose it! Thank you so much 👍👍🙏

I love the huge inlays on the guitar. I never played a guitar like that. It seems to make sense to block the fingerboard like that.

You are helping me so much to progress man ! THANKS

Hi thank you Sven for a brilliant and clear explanation of the rhytmn and for the great exercise ideas. I will great practising.

not only does this guy give fantastic guitar lessons but he also looks like a french gypsy virtuoso!

It is very helpful to hear the chords played so clearly

Dude, I ever thought I need to play the bass serperated. Thanks so much! Extreme helpful, Sven (c:

Brilliant and useful, as ever - thanks a lot.

...many thanks so clear

Very well explained and marvellous groove. Martin Schmidt-Hahn s perfect clarinet-sound could fit as well to this kind of music

Beautiful guitar.

Cool guitar

love your lessons man

Thanks for a great tutorial. It's impressive how much can be done with those small variations around the beat. Not htat esay to accomplish though.

Thank you! You're a great teacher.

Ah 🆗 muchas gracias, tenía esa duda

Thanks!

👌 thanks

Oh sheit! This is new to me and very frickin cool . You got skills ! A reason to buy another guitar .

Great video - thanks for the helpful explanation - I have subscribed!

Very good 🤘👍

This is awesome man love your videos. Would love to check out some of the bands you listen to can you give a link to them?

A great lesson , so only use this in barred chords not open. Or the open will ring ? How about plam muting on open chords ? Ive bern improvising and have never seen a lesson before so this is helpful. Is the muting with the fret hand Staggato ?

Great lesson, thanks!

Are we supposed to press down fully on the strings with the fretting hand to get a full tone or is it partially muted? For some reason, I'm not getting a clean sound, for example, with a C6/9 chord which sounds too crunchy or too muted.

bin kompletter gypsy noob und verstehe alles sooooooooo viel besser jetzt ! Danke! Mehrmehrmehr!

Thank you for a great gypsy jazz rhythm lesson. Your guitar is stunning. What is the model?

Hey Sven!! I love your videos and have subscribed. What is the name of the song you are playing? I apologize for asking but can’t quite understand what you’re saying when you name it. Your accent is nice. I enjoy it!! But... it’s making it difficult for me to understand that one thing. Everything else you talk about us quite clear and your English is absolutely intelligible. I have been looking for another good, beginner tune to learn and teach my younger students. I think this one may be the one!! I’d love to know what the name of the tune is. Thanks again for posting all that you do. Your videos are my favorite educational videos for Gypsy Jazz especially since I am a beginner at this style (I have been playing guitar for 30 years) and exploring the rhythm guitar is so important. I get most of the melodic content I learn from transcribing solos. I transcribe the chords as well. But as you know, there are many interpretations. I ALWAYS check in with your videos to see how you suggest to play chords. Thanks!!

Thanks.

Thanks

Good video! Vielen Dank! And yes I admit that I made the listening mistake. Will need to try out the technique.

that's a sick guitar

Sven I wish you had something to buy so I could show my appreciation for all of your incredible work and sharing. Do you have a book or patreon page so we could show our support? Cheers

Excellent explanation for a beginner, thanks very much. Also enjoy hearing the variations in rhythm. Also, how essential is a plectrum? I have a classical guitar which I play with fingernails. Is that going to ruin my tone? I've heard rumours of old school guitarists using ivory and wooden picks for the high attack Also, do the strings being high or low tension make a big difference when it comes to gypsy jazz?

Cool man!

THANKS FOR THIS !! so Cool

Does anyone see what Sven is actually doing in that cool, fast I-VI-II-V-I progression in the intro demo (C6 (8th) - A7 - Dm7 - Db7+9 - C6 (3rd)). It is the fingering around the A7 chord I can't figure out.

What are the scales to play gypsy jazz?

excellent tutorial. what's the name of the acoustic archtop you're playing. What do you think of the Seagull 5th avenue archtop for playing gypsy jazz?

Thanks for the lesson ! Was really helpful. What's that guitar though ?

Can someone tell me what song he is playing? I couldn't understand what he said. Sorry.

2:30

Thank you! One question? Is the 1st stroke the muted strings or the chord? I can t tell.

Standard tuning?

Hola Sven, gracias por la información, una pregunta, en la pompe que va primero, el acorde y luego el mute, o al revés??

jo Sven! Is a hofner 450 model?

Which guitar brand/model is this? thanks

Cool, kann ich später auf der Bühne anwenden!

Do you still play with the band?

are you playing in two our four

Are you muting the low e string what's goin on there

Nice show. However I'm glad I don't have that guitar.

what's the point of wearing a hat indoors? just curious..

Thanks!

Thanks
