Really nice song, I think I just heard before with Matelo Ferré

I know I'm late But here's why Theory can be useful to Jazz Miles Davis literally took Ideas from the Lydian concept theory book and put him inside his playing and his compositions Same goes for Coltrane with Giant Steps he was inspired by his theory lessons if I remember correct and he took a lot of his Impro Ideas from the book thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns by Nicolas Slonimsky And same goes for Allan Holdsworth I'm sorry but I don't think that Licks will help you in a Wayne Shorter tune Judging by the Masters Theory CAN be useful and using it correctly will expand your ideas in improvisation

Grasso is a monster. Amazing player.

Where does the tip of the index finger go?

Yess yeahh nice I like it

What is the best gypsy jazz guitar for 1500 dollars or below

Great solo

Now, CVH plays Jerome Duffel.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can try gypsy jazz guitars? I would like to purchase a decent guitar but itd be great to try the more expensive kinds instead of making a random purchase online...

Thanx !

thanks !

Do you offer lesson?

just found this one Christian. excelent

I search this video since my finger feel tired when i play long piece, btw i use france belgian and I need some insight from another type of bow hld. I try little bit from your video and I think its play more easier when we play in the tip of the bow with russian type

That lesson is very helpful , double stops are more dificult for me than the ascending F degree descending to the 6TH

where can i find these backing tracks?

If you were supporting a soloist would you ask them if they wanted you to play with upstrokes or not?

Let the robots listen to AI music. The humans will listen to you.

ChatGPT Video Summarizer: 00:00:00 - Introduction: Revisiting Rick Beato Christiaan opens the video by noting it has been years since his last reaction to a Rick Beato video. This video was suggested by his Discord community. He is eager to discuss the topic of AI and music, drawing from his unique insights as both a musician and a chess enthusiast. 00:01:00 - Personal Opinions on AI Influenced by Chess Christiaan shares his opinions on AI, which are shaped by his knowledge of the chess world. He explains how chess engines have dominated the chess scene, beating even the best human players, and wonders if AI will similarly disrupt the music industry. 00:02:00 - Reacting to Rick Beato’s Take on AI Music Christiaan begins reacting to Rick Beato’s content, noting Beato's previous testimony before Congress on the impact of AI on music. He highlights Rick’s prank involving Jacob Collier to illustrate the capability of AI to mimic human voices convincingly. 00:03:30 - AI's Advanced Vocal Processing Abilities Discussion on the sophistication of AI-generated music, particularly its ability to use vocal processing tools. Christiaan points out how the use of auto-tune, compression, and vocal alignment can make AI-generated vocals sound highly polished and realistic. 00:04:30 - AI Music Demonstration: Country Pop and Tropical Rock Rick Beato plays an AI-generated country pop song. Christiaan listens and provides commentary on how realistic the vocals sound, noting specific genres like "contemporary country" and "tropical rock" that AI can produce. He emphasizes the growing indistinguishability between AI and human-produced music. 00:06:00 - Flaws in AI Music Production Christiaan discusses the limitations of AI-generated music, pointing out flaws such as over-pronounced sibilance. These small imperfections reveal the limitations of AI, which can struggle to capture the subtleties of human expression in music production. 00:07:30 - Detecting AI Music: The Human Element Christiaan narrates an anecdote where Rick Beato’s son, Dylan, and his friends try to distinguish between AI and non-AI music. Dylan's ability to recognize AI-generated tracks highlights the subtle cues that still differentiate AI from human artistry. 00:09:00 - Influence of AI on Vocal Styles Christiaan discusses how singers are beginning to mimic the sound of auto-tuned voices, which have been popularized by AI and digital music production. This influence shows how AI is shaping vocal trends in the music industry, blurring the lines between AI-produced and human-created music. 00:10:30 - Formulaic Nature of Music in Nashville The discussion shifts to how much of Nashville’s music is already formulaic, which makes it easier for AI to replicate. Christiaan argues that AI-generated music might not sound so different from what’s currently popular, due to the repetitive structures and predictable melodies. 00:12:00 - AI in Movie Scoring and Commercial Jingles Christiaan elaborates on how AI is being used to create movie scores and commercial jingles, suggesting that AI could replace human composers in situations that require quick, formulaic music production. He mentions his own experience in film scoring to provide context. 00:14:00 - Emotional Depth in Music: AI vs. Humans The video touches on the intrinsic value of human emotions in music, which AI lacks. Christiaan argues that while AI can produce technically perfect music, it cannot replicate the emotional and spontaneous aspects of live human performances that resonate deeply with audiences. 00:16:00 - The Potential Renaissance of Live Music Christiaan predicts that AI’s rise could lead to a resurgence in the popularity of live music. As recordings become more automated and polished, the unique, imperfect, and emotionally charged nature of live performances could become a new point of attraction for music lovers. 00:17:30 - Chess Analogy: AI in Music and Chess Engines He draws parallels between music and chess, where AI has become a tool for enhancement rather than replacement. Just as chess engines add a layer of analysis to human games, AI could enhance music production without eliminating the need for human creativity and performance. 00:19:00 - Practical Uses of AI Beyond Music Christiaan discusses using AI tools like ChatGPT for writing and editing, demonstrating AI’s practical applications beyond music. This segment illustrates AI’s potential to assist in creative tasks, enhancing human work rather than replacing it entirely. 00:20:30 - Economic Impact: Jobs in the Music Industry A detailed discussion on how AI might change job roles within the music industry. Christiaan speculates that session musicians and studio workers might face challenges as AI takes over repetitive tasks, but live performers and creative artists might see renewed interest. 00:22:00 - AI’s Limitations in Creating Music Christiaan emphasizes that while AI can replicate many aspects of music production, it still lacks the ability to perform spontaneous, live interactions. He discusses the unique human touch required in live music, which AI cannot fully emulate. 00:23:30 - Shifting Focus to Live Performances Christiaan suggests that the focus in the music industry might shift towards live performances and authentic interactions. He believes that as people realize the limitations of AI, they will value the irreplaceable qualities of live, human-performed music even more. 00:25:00 - Public Perception of AI Music He discusses how public perception of AI music is evolving. As AI-generated music becomes more sophisticated, people might struggle to differentiate it from human-created music, leading to changes in how music is appreciated and valued. 00:27:00 - The Role of AI in Genre Evolution Christiaan explores how AI could influence the evolution of music genres. He suggests that AI could lead to new musical styles by combining elements from different genres, which might appeal to niche audiences or create entirely new musical trends. 00:28:30 - The Importance of Human Interaction in Music A deeper dive into the significance of human interaction in music creation and consumption. Christiaan discusses how the communal aspect of music-playing in bands, interacting with audiences-is something AI cannot replicate, thus preserving the need for human musicians. 00:30:00 - Conclusion: Embracing AI and Human Creativity Christiaan concludes by emphasizing that AI should be seen as a tool that can enhance human creativity, not as a replacement. He encourages musicians to embrace AI while focusing on what makes human music unique-its emotional depth, spontaneity, and the connection it creates. 00:31:00 - The Impact of AI on Music Jobs Christiaan discusses the broader implications of AI on employment in the music industry. He touches on the shift from traditional studio work to potentially more live performances and streaming, suggesting musicians might need to adapt to these changes. 00:32:30 - AI’s Effect on Studio Musicians A deeper analysis of how AI could replace certain types of studio work, especially for formulaic and repetitive music production. Christiaan reflects on his experience with film and commercial music, noting how technological advancements have already reduced the demand for live musicians in these areas. 00:34:00 - Economic Shifts: Who Profits from AI Music? This chapter focuses on the economic aspects of AI in music. Christiaan questions who will benefit financially from AI-generated music-whether it will be the tech companies developing AI or the musicians themselves. He raises concerns about fair compensation and ownership. 00:35:30 - Ethical Considerations and Copyright Issues Christiaan delves into the ethical considerations of using AI for music production, including copyright issues. He discusses how AI is trained on existing music and what this means for original artists. The potential for AI to infringe on intellectual property rights is a significant concern. 00:37:00 - AI as a Creative Tool for Musicians Despite concerns, Christiaan acknowledges that AI can be a powerful tool for musicians. He explores how musicians could use AI to generate new ideas, create backing tracks, or enhance their own compositions. AI could serve as a collaborator, not just a replacement. 00:38:30 - Innovative Uses of AI in Music Performance Christiaan speculates on innovative ways AI could be integrated into live performances. He imagines scenarios where musicians interact with AI in real-time, creating unique musical experiences. However, he also notes the challenges, such as managing audience expectations and the potential for technical issues. 00:40:00 - Audience Engagement and the Future of Concerts The discussion shifts to how AI might change the nature of concerts and audience engagement. Christiaan believes that while AI can offer novel experiences, the human element of live music-interaction, spontaneity, and emotion-will continue to draw people to concerts. 00:41:30 - Christiaan’s Personal Reflections on AI and Music Christiaan shares his personal thoughts and experiences with AI in his own work. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to one’s artistic vision while being open to new technologies. He sees AI as an opportunity to enhance creativity, not as a threat. 00:43:00 - Closing Thoughts: Embrace the Future In his closing remarks, Christiaan encourages musicians and fans to embrace the future of AI in music. He stresses that while AI can change the industry, the essence of music-its ability to connect people-remains irreplaceable. He urges viewers to keep practicing and to value the unique contributions of human creativity.

I have a question, recently i bought a book called"gypsy jazz guitar picking secrets" and it told that every downstroke ends with an reststroke meaning that the hand rests on the adjacent string. But by observing yt videos of gypsy jazz players they seem to not always rest the pick on the adjacent string. This part is making me very confused because it also seems very hard to play a reststroke on every downstroke.

The dot on ten makes so much more sense, musically. It's not a flattop, after all.

Good video

Are these books available as digital downloads?

Great idea, but unfortunatelly freakin' short! 😉👏👏👏👏👏❤️ Is there any app that can do the same with loops?

Great video! I know I'm late to this video, but it confirmed what i was thinking. I'm new to the violin (I've played guitar for years as well as other instruments) and i hate the Franco Belgian hold. This feels so much more natural. Instant subscribe and i look forward to your other videos. Amazing playing by the way!

Nice video, and gorgeous guitar! 😍

3 years old so apologies! Just wanted to mention that I found you, specifically you, very interesting and enjoyable to watch as you worked through these videos! I think there is something there in what they are saying but even more enjoyable was watching you struggle through with them a bit. Very down to earth and honest. Happy to see you still making videos today and look forward to watching more.

Great point about left hand damping and I love the idea about modest rhythm.

Is it necessary to go through the other books before this one? can i go from book 1 to this?

Christiaan, speaking of great rhythm solos. listen to this Jam, its a fantastic version of Djangology, with not only great lines, Fanou Torracinta plays a FANTASTIC rhythm solo. And the violin is PHENOMENAL, he plays with so much passion. Here it is.... JAM AT BENJI WINTERSTEIN - Samoreau 2024. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpCWg4aHmJ2hqJI

Super video Christiaan, thanks. Appreciate your insistence on having solid basics, and the clear breakdown. Cheers!

Thanks Christian' really enjoyed this discussion on rhythm, partially the points on using the pick and nails together, also using a light left hand tension to create a more percussive boom chick!..... applying this for a short time has made a noticeable improvement to my tone, (previously I had blamed my budget guitar for my awful tone!) The spicy little nuances throughout were also captivating and entertaining, left me feeling I should check out the discord for more!

Thanks for updating this video, always nice to get a refresh 🙏🏽

The traditional Django 1930s rhythm is completely different than the modern dry rhythm Christiaan plays and teaches here. It's a shame modern players shy away from the classic way of la pompe.

Nice Christiaan 🔥

Just amazing musicianship!!!

Oh yes, this is a good version of Dark Eyes

Yeah I really see playing 6 hrs min serious playing making a big difference not only in technique but the meta ( as you say ) things like embellishments phrase choices etc is thoughtful but not in front of the focus of the bigger

I have seen stochelo in person and he is a big guy and really tall those guys make him look tiny WTF

Antoine Boyer use a Gator 2.0

When is it out?

Thanks also for the candid review at the end. I was thinking it was me that one day after many hours it clicks together ( so it seems ) and is like all fun etc. And the next day I forget it But now I see it’s takes many many hours At least now my technique is is staying I wake up very early sometimes to see what’ I can play lol Many hours warm up That ok just saying 🙏
