Dennis B This is GREAT !! Please keep these suggestions coming!

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Thanks Dennis!

I'd like to use this as a lick - 4:12 ... F#7b5b13 seems a bit difficult and not much reusable chord I'd say... is there a way to simplify it - can I play it over F#7 or some other chord suits better this lick?

[@KukulyJazz]

Why is that "C" part played differently by different players? Olli's version seems to be closest to the actual clarinet part, why do others play it differently?

[@graysonguice5956]

This is the most underrated gypsy song in my opinion

[@johnrothfield6126]

Thanks!!!

The opening lick of rythme future reminds me of the difficulty of the opening lick of la Gitane. There is a lot of nuance in it, and it takes a while to get it.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Indeed, it's quite tricky. The key is to be very aware of both sweeps (even/especially if only two notes) and upstrokes!

[@epsdudez]

I've been learning la pompe for about a year now and want to start getting into soloing, but it seems really difficult to get into. Where do you recommend I start? Should I just start transcribing Django? It's all too fast for me :/

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

+Epsdude Z Definitely start transcribing. Anything you like really and just take slow tempos when practicing the phrases.

[@PabloCardonaMusic]

Do the fast chromatic run Django plays in the J'attendrai video when going from A7 to Dm on the second chorus of his solo made easy lol

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Yeah good idea, I'll get to it soon!

Hi Christiaan, Stochelo does play that long lick (btw sec 0.54 and 0.57) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3zVgWtoqbCbbM0 slighlty different, so does Olli (btw 1.01 and 1.04) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIGsZ5qddtqtipo The way they play it is a lot harder !

[@KukulyJazz]

I think Olli's C part is what the oboe part actually plays. I like it better but then realized other players do it differently, why?

[@rossechols151]

To me the 1st lick sounds even better slowed down

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Haha yeah, I can see that. You hear more of the augmented nature of that lick that way!

[@paulgibby6932]

"Too much pinky" haha :)

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

+Paul Gibby DON'T DO IT!!! ;)

[@paulgibby6932]

Hmm in this vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3zVgWtoqbCbbM0m Stochelo seems to alternate his ring finger with open strings rather than play the diminished lick you mentioned.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Yes he plays a different phrase which is much, much more difficult. It has a G instead of an Ab. You can't tell the difference really, it's too fast!

[@paulgibby6932]

I watched at half-speed :)

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

+Christiaan van Hemert Haha, ok you can SEE the difference but you can't really hear it. Btw when I showed Stochelo my version he agreed that made actually more sense and was easier but he was just used to playing it with the open strings!

[@davidfreel1451]

Always interesting. Here is another master of consecutive downstrokes, hope you enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHOmoI2fiMd6qrs

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Wow, amazing!

"focus on the work, not the results"

My mantra!
