Super helpful video, thank you. I really enjoy your videos and they're always really useful. I'm the rhythm player in our band and lack the opportunity to play with other rhythm players to learn how to expand on my skillset so your videos are like a life-line. Thank you.
OMG! THANKS SVEN! THANKS! This was just what I meant! Thanks! I still strive to be better thanks to you! Actually, you refer to the Bergera-style.When we discuss rythm (me and my partner in crime) we also refer to the Sven-style. You have a very distinct 2-4 and your rythm play in general really fills the entire space of a room. Personally I aim for your style of playing la pompe and ripping off your turn-arounds too! Oh man, the duo I play in just got A LOT better!
I totally agreee. Sven has his own style of basic ryhtm, which I like it a lot. Only problem is that I can't master it. It seems so easy but I just dont get it...
So I bought some Wegen picks (gypsy jazz 3.5mm) after you mentioned them to me. It totally transformed the sound to a less metallic, warmer, more percussive sound. I was just using a 1.0mm Dunlop pick before. What a difference! Thank you for the tip :)
Knowing these various rhythms is key to get that gypsy style. Thanks for sharing. I am interested how Rinehardt played some of those fast offbeat rhythms over a straight rhythm. 😎👍🏽🎶🔥♥️🔥🎶
Just what I needed. I struggle with the right hand, and it sometimes keeps me from moving forward. I was fortunate to be able to take some group classes with Gonzalo this past summer, (Swannanoa Gathering) and his style was slightly different, maybe a little sharper.
Jeah, Iike his playing! I am not really into his style, because I play a lot with Joscho, who demands a very different style( concerning rhythm playing) than Gonzalo, but I am a fan of Gonzalo, too.
I would say also volume control from the right hand is very important, you don't want to drown the lead guitar... This version of Django's Tiger is a very good example of good rhythm playing, here by Lollo Meier (if links allowed): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7_I5vXzckFk.html
I studied jazz guitar so I can play basically any tune in any key, without trying before. In Gypsy jazz that's also normal, if you play with singers. And even the Sintos who usually do not know the terms of the theory, can do it instantly( if they are professional players) . I think it is important to understand the typical progressions and stuff to be independent from key thinking, but for me and I think for everyone, it's definitely a longer process, but very fundamental. Warm regards Sven
