    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.

    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👏👏👏👏👏👏🤦🏻‍♂️

  • @GypsyAndJazz
    @GypsyAndJazzАй бұрын

    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

    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!"

  • @37BopCity

    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)

    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!

  • @37BopCity
    @37BopCity2 ай бұрын

    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.
