Thank you for this great lesson. I've been studying gypsy jazz for approx. 12 months. When I improvise over Minor Swing, I will certainly plug in some of these licks from the master himself.

Great to see some gypsy jazz licks on the channel! Lick 5 is a classic and very challenging. I hear it played in the first position with open strings. Django probably played the chromatic descending run with one finger!

@ChaseMaddox Жыл бұрын

I think you’re right! I like playing that in a position where I can move it around 👍

For sure. Probably starting on the D string at 17th fret and sliding all the way down or starting on the G string then jumping over to the D string to finish..He couldn't use the fingering shown by Chase.

Awesome lesson. Lick #5 is great, and I see it as a bunch of sextuplets, not triplets. It really works when played with sextuplet feel.

I can sorta play it, it's 6 AM though and I just got home, I'll let you know. Great theme here trying to give a more broad conceptual understanding. Like Mayer said, "Understand the thing that made the thing." More importantly though if you appreciate something deeply, so will other people. You have a pretty broad audience, I think, from the guy below me who is some sort of Django superenthusiast, to entry level people who are curious about jazz, to people with a relatively sophisticated vocabulary coming from other styles or completely different approaches to playing. Those people might not, like me, be familiar with functional harmony in all its permutations, and might not realize that a Dm6 and a B m7b5 are the same chord (even though it seems retrospectively obvious), or any other random tidbit. Those kinds of practical links are extremely helpful. Don't think you have to oversimplify -- just simplify enough. God bless brother

Hi chase ! The triplet lick is meant to played whith open strings i suggest you check the way Django did it. Thanks

@ChaseMaddox Жыл бұрын

Hi Ben, I’m not usually playing open strings so I prefer to learn it in a way that I can apply across the entire fretboard.

Great vid man. I believe Django did his chromatic runs by sliding down a string. In that lick's case, sliding down from the 12th on the g string.

Although the notes are the same your tabs don’t match what you’re playing. Misleading

@ChaseMaddox 10 ай бұрын

I usually make the tabs beforehand and sometimes it’s slightly different than how I play it when I film. Calling it “misleading” is a bit of stretch.

@JohnOsterhus-om6fb 10 ай бұрын

@@ChaseMaddox this is meant to be constructive criticism for an instructional video. It helps a lot if the tabs match what you play exactly. Thanks for the reply.

@ChaseMaddox 10 ай бұрын

If that's your takeaway from the video, you're really missing the point. Most of the time these ideas can be played in different ways, in different contexts.

@@ChaseMaddox if you didn’t find my criticism helpful, just disregard it. I am aware licks can be played in different places on the neck.
