Year of the django

mr. Rheinhardt could not speak, he only had three fingers and sign language had not been invented anyway

Already did some

It’s a doderer

Hening doderer

This is also the key to la pompe

Sort of over both with the surface Cantered over the last knuckle

@@marbinmusic Thank you. 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.

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.

@@marbinmusic Interesting! That´s a deep answer, reminded me of the things Hal Galper talks about, we get curious about things others do that actually reflect some internal process or need of expression. Thank you I´ll give this a lot thought.

The forearm is rotating

Only to switch strings

Lol

Great learning video, I am already practicing@@marbinmusic

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

@@marbinmusic makes sense. So do you use a different technique with muting when you play electric guitar? I play electric more often but steel and nylon acoustics as well. Thanks!

@@armandosinger yes I do

@@marbinmusic ah, got it. I’ve been experimenting with flattening my wrist more on electric, but still using a down rest stroke slant with an upward escape motion, like Eric Johnson. I think I’ll work on these 2 motions as they have some similarities.

Yes

@@marbinmusic Excellent. Thank you for replying. I play mostly through a high-gain amp with a thickly saturated tone. Hopefully, with enough experimentation I can find a way to implement this style cleanly.

@@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. :)

@@DaveElwoodCutter Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm coming to a similar conclusion.
