Thank you will soon pick up guitar and then Play this 😢
Thank you yaakov 😃👍✌️
Great exercise man 🎸🤟
Thanks
I have been trying to do this for a long time. Finally I saw my error....between the "shorter slap" and the next "short rake"....I only need go up to the height of the 6th string to start the next rake. I slowed the video down to .05 and finally got it. That part was not clear for me. I love the sound of La Pompe...and I think your video is the best explanation out there. Thank you. Maybe now I will make progress. Thanks again.
Slowing down the videos is a great advantage.
Sehr gut ❤️👍
Danke!
I find arpeggio diamgram a little confusing, as you have flat 6 in E7 but aren't playing it.
You caught the mistake - go by what I'm playing!
There's a certain amount of skill involved here that allows you to get this explanation of how to play a bit faster during arpeggio leads❤😊
Practice makes perfect!
Just Fantastic. You are giving us what nobody else teaches. Thank you so much for your Generosity. Take care.
So nice of you! My pleasure!
Thank you!!! I’ve been having such a tough time breaking into this gypsy style. This cracked some of the code :)
So glad!
Thanks man! I love how happy you seem too, your smile made me smile. I need to check out more Django
You should!
Hi There! Great video! Could someone please explain a bit more about the theory behind those diminished arpeggios and why they fit so well over those chords? TIA!!
Just great - thanks! 🎸🔥
My pleasure!
well said my friend...after playing the melody the guitarists start running and no melody..
See what you can do by basing your improvisation on the melody!
Thank you Yaakov, you are the best gypsy jazz instructor on KZread!
Thank you so much!
Very great teacher
Thank you very much!
2. Guitarist bad time
We had a good time.
You make this seem so easy, Dr. Y. You saved me 100+ years of catch-up study!
Delighted!
I am new to gypsy jazz and play the baritone ukulele and your video is awesome. It has helped me learn so much thank you.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much Yaakov for your fantastic lesson. Your explanation about Arpeggios Transition absolutely blew my mind. It is the first time that i understand the concept. Thank you for this pure Generosity.
Glad it was helpful!
Yakoov, you are great! Not only do you play fantastic in the Django style, you know all the theory too ! Super
Thank you very much!
@@GypsyAndJazz Welcome
Great information thanks. I play ukulele so I am having a go on a baritone uku 👍😁🥂
Have fun!
Awesome lesson 👍
Glad you liked it!
WOW!!!
Thanks!
C Best!
Glad you like it!
Yaakov is a great one on one coach as well. And his courses really explain the music well.
Thank you so much. I do love teaching!
Yakov Kol Hakvod,What’s the theory behind the half step below and one step above? how come it sounds so good? and why are you using gMaj7 and not g7? isn’t blues/jazz is using 7 chords and not Maj7? תודה רבה אתה אלוף👏👏👏👏👏👏🤦🏻♂️
תודה The theory behind the "half step below and one step above" is rooted in classical music and jazz as a means of creating tension and resolution, You can try chromatic and diatonic approaches to target notes, and see which you prefer more in each musical situation. American musicians do tend to use dom7 chords for the blues. כל טוב
Cool lick. Thank you 🖤
Have fun with it!
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Guitar skill 10/10 English skill 5/10
Ha Ha...As long as you get the idea. I'm not teaching English!
Great video. You are doing exactly what Louis Armstrong once said many years ago about improvising: "First I learn the melody. Then I play around with the melody. Then I play around with the melody some more!"
Excellent video, thank you. This is a fantastic exercise that I have not seen explained before. This is definitely a major part of Django's improvisation. Django did not go to music school and did not read music, but it is obvious he learned and understood the advanced musical principles you are demonstrating from trained musicians like Stephane Grappelli, who graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris. (PS---- did you know that Stephane Grappelli once played on a Pink Floyd album? What a great musician he was, and how fortunate for musical history that he met Django)
Cool!!!!
Thanks man , such a valuable lesson . No one has explained these concepts this simply. Forever grateful 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Toda raba
Bevakasha
Yaakov is a great teacher of music.

Always great information.
Glad you think so!
Clear, detailed and inspiring - thanks for posting!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
My solos have gotten much more tatsy since listening to even just a few of your lessons. Some approachs that you use ive already learned as a younger player. Except this time ive opened up even more cool phrasing....thank you 💕
Great to hear!
1947?i think 1937 ❤😉

@@GypsyAndJazz you're right i checked it out 👍❤️
Yaakov das ist wunderbar mit viel Seele ❤️
Thanks!
Like your stile of expleining! Good luck!
Thanks, you too!
Doubt django had clue about music theory . Millions of copycats like this guy
Django had an intuitive understanding of music. He was a great genius. I'm an admirer and a devoted disciple, learning more from him all the time. It's we simple people who need theory as an aid. It's not the goal!
This is an extremely good lesson for beginning/intermediate guitar players wanting to understand improvising. These simple shapes actually open the door to a lot more complex possibilities than they initially display. You also have the octaves below and above all these notes. It's a great introduction to learning the notes within the chords like "b3" and "b7" instead of just using visual dot patterns. Then by adding extensions, rhythm, enclosures, chromatics, etc and learning the chord changes in songs in different keys, this is truly a great system.
Totally! There's a whole world of music in this magic shape!
You are a serious dude!! Love ya, man. Thanks for your insights
I appreciate that!
This is excellent man. Excellent. Clear and concise.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very easy
Thanks a lot 😊
Gypsy is a slur. Django was Roma. The name needs to change as appropriate. It’s comparable to Kike for Jews.
Truly inspiring. Did you hear Birelli using these voicings on Nuages?
Yes! Cool!
