I love your channel because you take something that could be simple and make it incomprehensibly complicated in the best way.

Haha and imagine I'm aiming for the opposite!

The original video was one of the most useful lessons I have learnt in Gypsy Jazz. Use the lines from that all the time on gigs. Great to revisit it 👍

Thank you Bjorn!

Just curious why you finger the second position the way you do? Seems like Stochelo always starts that with first finger then second note second string (ab) etc not using the pinky at all. I'm sure you use both. Often times I'm curious about these small details so never mind if it's too finicky.

I just find it easier to shift positions as little as possible. If that means I have to use my pinky just a bit more, I'm fine with that!

It was using the Diminished scale in Gypsy Jazz. That video gave me 3 yrs ago the keys to FLOW in Gypsy jazz. Trad jazz players DO NOT hardly EVER use that sound. I never encountered it with Joe pass, etc, he uses diminished scales and whole tone, but not like the Gypsy players, only did I play diminished arpeggios in Neo classical Metal. You showed us the Dutch and French style diminished runs. I naturally gravitated to the french way, its what came naturally to me. Swing Gitane for instance will sound like CRAP if a player doesn't play runs like that, I think. Actually, that would make a good video, who can play Swing Gitane all the way through without playing 1 diminished run, or whole tone scale and sound good. LOL!!! Any playeer in Gypsy jazz, who doesn't know or use what you just taught, is going to make LEAPS and BOUNDS in their progress now.

Indeed, dim is king in gypsy jazz!

Did you ever run into similar exercises in violin method books?

No, I use completely different systems for violin improv!
