Thank you 🙂🙏

Ah man! Thank you! I hope you're keeping well 🙂

@@Remi_Harris Hello. Je suis moi même musicien ☺️ Et je sais faire la différence entre les petites copiste de Django et les gens comme toi. Qui apportent une touche très personnel et un style bien différent. Qui apporte vraiment une nouveauté 👌 On ressent cela immédiatement pour une oreille Averti. Tu es remarquable... Je ressens beaucoup de passion et de plaisir dans ton jeu. Je te félicite. C est formidable. Découvrir un musicien comme toi.. cela nous encourage. Et nous démontre combien la guitare est riche et différentes en chaque main. Bien amicalement Vincent

@@Remi_Harris just seen this sorry. must have a jam soon. Keep the videos up.

Yeah man sounds good 🙂👍

Thank you 🙂🙏👍

Hey! Cool. Yeah I plan to do a video on rhythm as my next long tutorial type video. I'll hopefully get it done with the next few weeks. I'd like to do one on amplification and electric tones too at some point 🙂👍

Same here 😌

Thank you 🙂

Cheers Pelle! 👍

Hey! Glad you like it. Yeah, I'm going to try and do more of these longer form tutorial videos.

Thank you 🙂

You're welcome man! 🙂

Thanks man, glad you like the video. I was just plugged into my Line 6 Helix and it was coming out of my computer monitors. I think I was using a patch with a Fender Twin model and a bit of room reverb.

Cheers Andy! Yeah, these are all mine, I have too many guitars! 😅

Hey, it's hard to give an exact angle but pick is usually perpendicular to the area where the volume/tone knobs would be on an electric, if that makes sense. This can vary a little as I play though 👍

Cheers Paolo! 🙂👍

😁 Will keep a look out for a Dunlop 5mm, don't think I've tried one of those yet 👍

Hey, that was just something I made up. Glad you like it 🙂👍

Hey! I haven't seen the Ernie Ball Prodigy picks before. Will keep an eye out for them 🙂👍

Hey Mick, this is my signature guitar made by Fylde Guitars in the UK. This one has a cedar top but they also make them with spruce tops. Here's a link if you wanted to check them out... www.fyldeguitars.com/remiharris.html Cheers 🙂👍

Hey, I don't really anchor my hand when playing acoustic rest stroke style but my fingers (near the nails and first knuckle) do sometimes make contact with the strings (or the top of the guitar when playing the high strings). It's not a conscious anchoring but maybe it helps a little, as opposed to being completely floating with only the pick in contact with the strings. Generally with this "gypsy picking" technique you tend not to rest you hand on the bridge in the same way you might on an electric guitar though, unless you're deliberately dampening or muting the strings. This is probably because if your wrist is anchored on the bridge, then the picking motion will come more from below the wrist, rather than the twisting of the wrist and forearm together (see 7:34 of this video). The wrist and forearm working together like this should make it easier to get that "gypsy jazz" punch on your single note downstrokes. Hope that helps a little 👍

@@Remi_Harris Thanks! It seems the wrist along with the forearm together is key with regards to alternate picking or up and down strokes. The concept of technique is really fascinating when you get into the detail. Experimenting with the wrist bowed out and with little anchoring of any kind, I find it difficult to position the pick with precision and accuracy where it needs to be when I’m using up and down strokes and picking fast; be it multiple notes on one string or harder yet, multiple notes while jumping from string to string. I wonder if where the arm rests across the top of the guitar simply acts as an anchor point itself that helps to navigate presice and accurate pick position when using fast up and down strokes. Anyway, you appear to have a similar style to the bluegrass legend Bryon Sutton (I posted the link below that shows his right-hand technique). He appears to use a couple or few of his fingers as anchor points, although he also emphasizes his arm as being the key to his playing. Thanks again!

Hey, this was filmed with a webcam into my computer, I think it was a Logitech C920 and I was using OBS software to capture the video/audio 👍

Hey. I haven't tried them before. Will look out for them though 👍

Hey Peter, building technique for playing at faster tempos does take time, it's hard to put an exact number on it though. The main thing is to keep making small improving steps in the right direction and keep enjoying playing 👍

🙂👍

Hey Tim, I think string height is a personal preference really. Over the years I've experimented with various different heights. At the moment my gypsy guitars are set to around 2.5mm on the top string and around 3mm on the bottom string (measured from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string). I don't think there are any strict rules or anything, it's just a case of experimenting and finding what works best for you and the way you want to play. Hopefully that helps but feel free to asking me anything else 🙂👍

@@Remi_Harris cheers from Australia mate, that cleared up a lot of my confusions, I play electric guitar with super low actions now I have to get use to the gypsy style ^w^, you're the master dude!

Hey, glad you find the video interesting 🙂👍 I don't understand the question at the end though sorry. Could you rephrase it? Was it about using a plectrum?

@@Remi_Harris hi bro. I will try to say it in english. To have the gypsy sound I've questioned myself a lot. I've find some answer with the way I take my plectrum. At the middle of my thumb

Hey, I think I spoke to you on Instagram about this. Is that right?

@@Remi_Harris you're right!

Hey, I guess picking direction is a big subject in the rest stroke/gypsy picking technique because it's a little counter-intuitive to play double down strokes in this way. I think most people won't naturally start playing like this from the start, so it's something a lot of people tend to learn about later on. That's probably why there's so much interested in it. I know some great gypsy style players who don't use this type of technique though so it's not essential.

@@Remi_Harris What is the benefit you can get from the gypsy style picking?

@@mrhomer4501 I'd say the biggest advantage is that's it can be easier to get a strong and loud tone on acoustic guitars. It can also be easier to play some of the typical "gypsy jazz" style licks as many of them are designed to be played with this technique. One of the main reasons I use this technique is because I like the way you can use downstrokes to add accents to you lines, I talk a little bit about that in this video 👍

Most of them 👍

Hey, this is my signature model made by Fylde Guitars. Here's a link if you wanted to check it out 👍 www.fyldeguitars.com/remiharris.html

@@Remi_Harris thanks for reply

Hey, I don't write anything down really, I just learn things I like from recordings. I might record an idea into my phone or computer to help me remember but I don't write things down on paper. I rarely learn whole solos, it's mostly just short sections, phrases, lines, licks etc that I like. Once I've learned something I'll try and incorporate some of the ideas into my improvising in some way. Very often I'll change, adapt or create variations of the ideas I learn or mix them with other ideas of my own or other things I have learned elsewhere. Over time all of the little things you learn and come up with will blend together into your own playing style/vocabulary and as you learn more things your playing will evolve over time depending on what you're working on. Hopefully that helps a little but feel free to ask me anything else 🙂👍

@@Remi_Harris That makes sense! Thanks a lot! I once heard someone say: "yeah, I copy all the time, but I only copy from the best and from what I like" :-D

@@Remi_Harris Thanks, that makes sense! On the matter of gator grip: if you clean with like dish wash soap or other grease-loosening type of cleaner, the dusty, grey and very grip-able surface will come back :-)

@@rolfedrengen Cool. I didn't know about that. Will have to give it a try sometime 👍

Hey, I guess it depends how you want to sound. Different techniques will give you different results. The rest stroke/gypsy picking is one option but it's not the only option. It can help with some of the gypsy jazz type licks as well as getting a strong tone, but I know some great gypsy style players who don't use this type of technique so it's not essential.

@@Remi_Harris thanks,by the way I think the left hand is much more important than right hand when playing gypsy jazz, because the fast lick depend on the finger of left hand.

My pleasure 🙂👍
