Just subscribed. Excellent explanation. I think when discussing strictly alternate vs this style one has to remember that ultimately it is how you want to express yourself at the given moment. Down strokes when changing strings adds a nice attack and a certain dynamics that sometimes gets loss with strictly alternate picking. Joe Pass often played with consecutive down strokes when changing strings. The more tools you have at your disposal the better. Great lesson.

I’ve found that in alternate picking, my pick is traveling in a circular motion as switching strings. This causes tension and wastes time. Rest stroking and sweeping are more economical, the benefits are huge!

Took me so long to unlearn my technique and get the reststroke down. Makes for such a different playing style . I have so many licks that would not have happened without the rest stroke.

@marbinmusic Жыл бұрын
This idea that we play many styles is an illusion. You play the way you play and the more you move towards the things you find interesting the better you get. If you are curious about gypsy jazz it’s your mind telling you what you need to learn and once you feed that it might tell you to keep going or change direction. The growth stops when you stop giving your mind what it asks for and start telling it what you think it needs.

I have always played with the pick centred over the fingernail pointing towards the left side (obviously) of the nail, but since reading your post I have tried using it like you say, a few times now, and it seems good, although I am not certain what exactly 'cantered' means, I imagine sort of 'balanced, with most weight pressing on one end of the pick.

Fantastic lesson. I’ve been practicing in this style, and one thing I don’t get is the string muting strategy. I can no longer mute the low strings well with my right palm. Any tips? I’ve seen some say don’t worry about the ringing notes, or just use left hand techniques. But I can’t think of a good solution for muting especially the bottom 3 bass notes wile playing the higher strings. Thanks!
@marbinmusic7 ай бұрын
Gypsy jazz has no muting. It’s all about accuracy. Don’t hit strings you’re not playing and except sympathetic vibration as a part of the reverb sound that is in the style

@@jeffhirshberg5171 I've been experimenting with this as well and found that I prefer using regular old alternate or economy picking on electric guitar even when I use Gypsy Jazz vocabulary. The starting on a downstroke whenever you change strings is mechanically pretty limiting for fast lines (well depending on how fast you wanna go of course - even Joscho Stephan abandons this technique for really fast lines from time to time) and the reason you do it in the first place is getting a strong tone on an acoustic guitar (cause amplification wasn't that good when the style emerged), which isn't necessary for electrics. Remi Harris actually did a great video on this :) Not trying to discourage you just some food for thought. Hope it helps. :)

@@marbinmusic that's a funny coincidence! I just love how expressive and natural he sounds.Yeah, so, what I am seeing in his style is a generous amount of thumb and index finger manipulation, which is just one more approach to using a flat pick I suppose. Interesting to see it in gypsy style.
