The Secret Authentic Gypsy Jazz Way 

you.... are amazing... by that i mean you're cultural understanding is astounding...

Denis my (online magical) friend, you are always delivering great information and insights from the jazz manouche comunity. Thanks a lot.

I am proud to say I figured out the gypsy bossa rhythm myself and when I play with folks that can’t do it. Some don’t even hear the difference. I play it strictly the way you showed. I love it.

This video changed the way I am learning gypsy jazz. My progress really sky rocketed after getting inspired by this

c est vrai Denis tout ca ..Le temps a passé , mais quelle belle découverte on a eu ici au Quebec , surtout a Montréal au début 2000. Ca été ben l fun d etre témoin et un peu mélangé la dedans ! je joues encore ce style, en fait , uniquement ca, j aime ca , voila ! Salut a toi Denis, great stuff thanks for your dedication . Cheers

Finally, I finished watching this one hour narration of historical Gypsy sound!Oorah, it’s a big challenge for me to understand whole Romani background story on both music and English! THX Denis for your wonderful Sinti fairytale

Love this lesson format!! Feels like a conversation about life and music. Great work!!

Most accurate description of how sinti learn music i've ever seen. My mom is sintaika and thats exactly how her uncles tried to teach me their music.

Also awesome solo at the start Denis, that must take balls of steel on stage with Bireli.

Bireli pointing at you to solo must be the most intimidating thing on the planet.

This is the best video about The Gypsy’s approach to learning music which to me, is like, the most Functional way of learning anything... I haven’t ever had the chance to travel to Europe as I am from South America, but I’d really love to at least visit to Django’s Festival anytime before I die. Thank you Denis because every time I listen to you I feel like I have already been to France Germany, Canada etc. through your videos, you make us all travel to all those places where Gypsy Jazz is the rule and it’s like if I knew all the gypsies you mention... just to let you know that I just spent the whole hour listening to your video... thanks!

Really enjoyable video my friend. Thanks for a prima into the gypsy politics, history and interesting titbits. Your mention of reverse (up) sweeping has really helped me, to break the "rules" :) I can play the hard G arpeggio in Montagne Sainte Genevieve using that technique I like it can great some attack on it if maintain floating hand. Thanks the keeping the knowledge alive, all the best from UK

Amazing video. Awesome job, Dennis. Thank you.

My first time living amongst flamenco gypsies; gitanos, I learnt all of this very quickly. It all seemed more about love and reward than direct teaching. If a child showed interest then they were given the tools to express themselves. If they didn't they did other things. It was just all about support but in kind of loose way so their was room for them to discover and fund their own sound.

Priceless insights, Awesome Denis extremely generous of you to share your knowledge.

I really enjoyed this and I had a feeling that what you said was the case! I too love it and can’t get enough. Awesome video.

A good vid for appreciating the "intuitive". Whatever words you use to try and describe what Django did to swing must take into account that he did it without having been taught, and mostly lacking a language for what he was doing. How much was taken from others and how much grew out of his "intuition' is only important in the context of historical accuracy. It's a bit like the Wright Bros. going from bicycles to airplanes in a couple years of focused trial and error.

Dude ! you are amazing thank you so much for this knowledge!

Merci Denis pour cette superbe vidéo ! La présentation des différentes influences, c'est top.

Many thanks for the vid Denis. It was highly informative , very interesting, and the insight into how the real stuff comes about was insightfully presented and much appreciated.

Thanks for the lesson

This is a fantastic lesson! Thank you Denis!

A Dragon Ball reference and gypsy jazz stories.... I think I love u.

thanks Denis!

Nice one Denis! Great video!

Great video - helpful and very interesting. Thanks.

Yes, Gypsy was not popular in the 1990ties. But in 1991 i saw a movie with Steve Martin- he make a bit music by his self i guess, jazzguitar- and he took as film music many original numbers from Django:-D. This was the time i began to love this sound but i had no idea what this type of music was. I mean it was jazz, but ther was no name for it. Then my brother gave me some cd's he recorded for me, because he thought i will like it, and there it was again, this vintage sound...he told me about Django and his playing with only 2 fingers. To buy a gypsy guitar in austria is a nightmare, they are not availible here, only in germany at next option. Thanks for your video, i listening while cleaning up the kitchen:-D

Thank you very much for your great work!

Amazing very informative video! Thanks

Great video! That DPA sounds amazing.

This is amazing! Thanks. Django is still king and way ahead harmonically. IMO

Love this!,..Thankyou for demystifying Dennis

Denis is a great guitar player and teacher ...and pretty damn funny and if i ever get taken please let him know---he has certain skills .

The conversational take on this is perfect. There's tons of material to mine in here for the dedicated. I'd like to humbly request tabs.

22:22 Bireli shredding the violin. The bow skipping technique, especially. He has the sharpest musical intuition.

Super denis, j’adore ta manière d’approcher les chose . I believe intuition is stronger than structure but i never believed that extrems are the way , rather 70% / 30% , anyway the important point is good music !! Whatever the way is . But I also think that some are just not made with this rythm and sound fibber no Mather how much they try , it’s like people who just can’t dance or people who just don’t get Mathematics but doesn’t mean they must not do it ! The way is the goal at the end of the day because it’s so much fun and passion drives all of us who try , that’s what’s beautiful !

Thank you, Denis!

thanks for this! im spanish and flamenco its almost the same. also, good DBZ reference

Well done Denis!

Thanks Dennis.

Mágic the gathering

太棒了！中文字幕是哪位朋友做的呀，请收下我的大心心❤！

Greets from Toronto Denis! I've been thinking to get my hands on my first gypsy jazz guitar, do you have any affordable while quality suggestions? Truly inspiring video and I resonate a lot with what you said about do whatever you feel like that's exactly how I taught myself how to play a guitar, I'm really interested in gypsy jazz and have been practicing with various backing tracks available on youtube (improvise mainly) and play whatever I think sounds good. Really looking to learn more about gypsy jazz here could you give me some suggestions please? Thank you!

Hello i'm Canadian and the first thing i'd like to do is apologize for using a word. Merci pour les vidéos

its right wath he is seing,its comes most of the time out of ouwer soal it comes in time ,we just trying to lurn from the soal

Song name at 45:58? I really like the chord work.

I thought Django was Manouche?

Gypsy has been used as a slur. It's also been used as a badge of honor. The gypsies I have met have no problem and are in fact proud of it.

In your solo flatpicking video, re: Bryan Sutton's technique, I noticed that your picking hand thumb knuckle appeared to be stiff/inflexible. Is that what Bryan taught you, OR, does his techniques allow for thumb knuckle flexibility, a la Steve Kaufman? Thank you!

Datte bayo

"Offensive" boo hoo hoo.... geez get a diaper....
