7 Levels Of Gypsy Jazz Rhythm Guitar! 

Great metronome exercise 👌

Très bien Denis. Swinging with Django is one song where Django just takes off like a rocket when he comes back in on rhythm. ❤

Denis: Pure gold. Thank you.

Good session, thank you. Yes, different rhythm textures for different songs and different lead players -- those are important details.

The real accent are the friends we made on the way.

My favorite kind of video. Thanks Denis 😊

Always worth watching your videos!

Thanks again for yet another great video

Enjoyed this a lot, thanks Denis!

Olivier Franc one of my fav musicians! Thanks for the video!

Wow wow

At 30:00 thats really important to keep the bouncieness of the rhythm going, a lot of people do to many accents/interruptions and in my opinion it really detracts from the music.

What is your opinion on practising this style of rhythm guitar with the metronome on 2 & 4? Especially for beginners. Some folks down here think this is the way to do practice, but I believe it leads to them playing overly heavy on two and four and drags like a drop bear in heat! 🐨 I suggested that beginners play on all beats, gradually developing a slight accent on 2 & 4. The second task I tell them is to set the metronome to beat one to develop consistency and learn to adjust as you suggested. I want to advise them to use the 2&4 metronome setting for lead practice; I would love your thoughts. PS Thank you for mentioning that rhythm guitarists need to be in the service of the music. When I back people up, I'm fully concentrating on what's happening and ensuring I'm sitting where I need to be. This is despite being accused of the contrary at times😂 It's all relative to your experience and how well you know the soloist to determine what they want from you. This is why I like rehearsing and jamming while most soloists don't. I get why soloists want to “keep it fresh” by going in cold, but something must be said about “breaking in” a new or unfamiliar rhythm section, especially on those important gigs. It's more for the rhythm section’s benefit rather than the soloist. It gives them half a chance of serving the music to their full capacity.

@25:22 Blasphemy!!! Repent!!! I sometimes practice to a metronome in 4/4 and I set the volume a bit softer than my guitar. If I can’t hear it I know I’m good, but when I start to hear it I know I’ve either sped up or slowed down. Now I have a better drill, thanks Denis!

Very good Maybe foot tap on 2&4 beat Also slot of screeching chord change noise since listening is the topic Please don’t get mad at my listener comment Thanks Use of my foot is something I’v started Using for myself with the metronome

Great stuff! Can you talk about arranging?
