Romane - Gypsy Jazz Guitar Lesson 1/3

Romane showing some gypsy jazz techniques and theory.

[@soundwrks]

Gypsy jazz fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling.

[@lautrey6531]

Merci Patrick SIDA pour cette belle interprétation d'une berceuse très connue lors de mon enfance à Maurice.

[@panamanian911]

best basic jazz guitar lesson ever.

[@Gitarrenseite67]

Und wieder ein echter Tip für das Üben von Fremdsprache und Gitarre. Sehr empfehlenswert diese Übungsstunde die, was man hier sagen muss, den Ausdruck "Übungsstunde" fürwahr verdient. Im Wert nergleichbar mit den "Chunk"-lessons von George Benson. Ergebnis dieser Lesson: Stolzer Besitzer einer Anton Sander Favino-Gitarre. Voilá!!

THANK YOU ROMANE ,YOU TEACHING STYLE AND CONTENT IS LIKE YOU, WONDERFUL !!

[@sweeptapper]

[@louismanouche]

This was the first manouche lesson I ever saw. Very instructive!

Beautiful song! I heard an accordion player playing this song on The Plaza in Santa Fe NM today. I asked him the name of the song... that is why I am watching this YourTube vid!

[@Lambertusjan]

as someone else said, the jacket brings tears to your eys, but great lord of guitarplayers this guy can play. I'll sit down and do some serious exercising. thanks, great!

[@ChordCluster]

Brilliant Romane! Great lesson. Great guitarist.

[@1iamallin]

fantastic lessons!

[@archtopeddy]

Thanks for the clarification of the comments. Very useful indeed!

[@Blog4Justice]

Wonderful lesson. I'm new to this genre, and still barely an intermediate player, but I learned a ton from this.

[@wungabunga]

I was starting to feel sad that I didn't understand any of this theory, then I realised I didn't need the subtitles because I speak french. WINNER!

[@TheBeatlesCom]

This is why I am glad I didn't think of guitar as a instrument of its own it has notes and diatonic values just as any other instrument so I chose to anaylze it like a Piano insted of a guitar for the past years and basic theory came with that, along with music reading, trust me guys it works, Tabs and your ear alone can only help you so much.

[@jimjoue]

bonne pedagogie ,cette videos de romane ma permis de commencer une compos merci romane

[@MinorityMans]

Excellent lesson, clear and precise.

[@David-te5qx]

Slt Romane ! J'aime beaucoup ce que tu (vous) faites pour les Musiciens ! Je me souviens de mon 1er bouquin de jazz et de ces paroles " On confond souvent l 'anatole avec la simple séquence I VI II V . Enfin je vous Adore SALUT .Bonjours de Cannes Did.²

[@superagnitio]

it doesn't get anymore authentic than this, really

[@SashaKebo]

He's a great teacher. / Un enseignant extraordinaire.

[@daregularperson]

WOW! Awesome stuff, I paused and played through this 6 minute video - I ended up spending about half an hour on the first four minutes! I will be back to practice this. Thank you sincerely for this video.

[@flockofspades]

that's one badass tie.

[@emixolydian]

It's common to sub out maj7 chords with m7s that lay a minor third away. This works, because those chords share almost all the same notes. Subbing Cmaj7 (CEGB) for Em7 (EGBD) or Am7(ACEG) gives you different chords to use to communicate the same sound (tonic), they share 3 common tones- and thus sound extremely similar.

[@HellsMascot]

Taking the knowledge in a lesson like this is somewhat like a math class for me: I see what the teacher's doing and how it works until I have to implement it into my own endeavors, and then I feel stranded.

[@kuxlejal]

Merci de partager ce vidéo. C'est très didactique pour ceux qui jouons la guitare.

[@flamencodiablo007]

cripes, I'll say it again...thanks Romane! I've learned more about basic jazz arps and chord harmony here than I have in ages... once you break it down and explain it, its so clear! The constant downpicking is tripping me out, but its a great challenge! Make sure to use GIANT picks

[@ImOnTheTube]

Great! Not only i can now learn gypsy jazz, but French too!

[@emixolydian]

For a maj7 you can sub out a m7 a third away in each direction. Cmaj7--->am7--->em7. Both are just going to communicate an extended version of the I chord. E G B D=Em7=Rootless CMaj9 A C E G=Am7=C6

[@Namaps]

@Robin89uk Romani and Roma are certainly the more polite terms, but it's still quite common for people to use the word Gypsy to refer to the Roma. The term originally referred only to the Roma and was later applied to many nomadic peoples.

[@TheFutureVirtuoso]

That's also the only way it makes sense, because Em9 to Eb9 is basically Em9 to A7, a ii-V, and then same thing with Dm9 to Db9. The Eb9 and Db 9 are tritone substitutions for A7 and G7, respectively, and then finally going to Cmaj9, the I. Another cool thing about this is that Em9 can act as a substitute for Cmaj9 since they share many of the same notes, so you could actually think of it all as Cmaj, A7, Dminor7, G7, Cmaj7(a 1,6,2,5). God I love how jazz substitutions work.

[@Boldstrummer]

C E G B D R 3 5 7 9 The notes of E minor are contained in a C Maj 9th chord Common to make the VI chord a dominant chord going to ii-7 A7 is the dom of Dm V7/ii = V7 of ii

[@KyleLightning]

this is a great lesson

[@webdemarcio]

Very nice! His guitar has a very beautiful sound. Django would be proud.

[@danTES8011]

That arpeggio progression isa sweet. Tab for Figure 5 posted at the Let's Write Some Music Dawg Blog. It's in the lesson on Django circular arpeggios. D

[@KellyZullo]

Tres Excellent!

[@dylanakent]

Perfect! Thank you!

[@Teis9574]

I listened it off. You can learn them yourself by wathing his hands, listening to the sound and reading what it says. T. eks. the arpeggio GBD, you can hear him explain, see it and listen your way through, I did and it works perfectly fine for me.

[@tbizzleshizzle]

@sickstring1 Thanks for clearing this up. I'm working through Romane's book "L'Espirit Manouche", which defines what an ANATOLE is, not what the word specifically means. It was written in French and translated into English though, I it doesn't surprise me that something like this was lost in translation. Thanks again

[@4nedjo22]

Bravo!! And thank you for sharing :-)

[@skippypoopface]

this is so awesome

[@jusbendo]

This is awesome! It's Jazz theory and guitar lessons!! I only have one album of this guy, French Guitar. I love it. Where can i get these videos?

[@GUNZaBLAZE]

ahhhhh ok. thanks everybody you all were very helpful!!

[@flamencodiablo007]

Merci beaucoup de Canada! C'est fantastique!

[@emixolydian]

You can use whatever you want, it's more stylistic than anything. As long as the base 7th is still dominant you should be fine unless you're really clashing with the melody.

[@ericwan2071]

muy bien!!!!!

[@Littlewhitelephant]

Romane is a wonderful guitarist but he forgot to explain the reason why the tritone substitution is working: G7 may be replaced by Db7, because the important leading notes of G7 (the third "B" and the seventh "F" of the dominant G7 leading to the main note "C" and the third "E" of the tonic Cmaj7) have the distance of 6 halftones a "tritone" and the diminished chord Bdim (B,D,F,Ab), which is made up of minor thirds, constitutes: (3,5,7,b9) of G7b9 and (7,b9,3,5) of Db7b9.

[@jkuebler89]

even though i dont speak french this video is incredibly helpful. bravo!

[@ollieacappella]

@Littlewhitelephant I think you've just demonstrated why he "forgot" to explain that!

[@Plipas]

is this part of a DVD? if yes, which is the title and how could I purchase it? Also which is the name of the teacher? He is amazing teacher!

[@krisztinakalman8339]

Anyone know the name of this guitar model? Him's soul and voice become one with guitar and thus vocalize our hearth-strings.

[@pavelbotev]

Dude you rock!!! Thank you for the video

[@shua559]

wow nice

[@arvh1952]

well said... ! i bet ur much better than what u claim... modesty is the first step to excellence!

[@KRDecker]

At 2:47 changes should read Em9, Eb9, Dm9,Db9,Cmaj7

[@BelyndaClaire]

thanks for this..quite helpful!

[@vincenzo6162]

I think the part where he mentioned the substitute was a Emin9/ Eb9(dominant) instead of Emin9/EbMajor9.

[@jaapberk1]

@giantrobot9000 I agree the book is very good as well as difficult

[@KRDecker]

At 2:22 subtitle should read: If you add G as a root, you have G7b5 chord.

[@martunes]

you're awesome

[@bombaclash]

Merci beaucoup !!

[@Atienne01]

Wow this theory went straight over my head but a really want to understand it properly. If anyone cares to explain I would be very thankful.

[@tomeflipstaythecrown]

thanks!

[@guitaneman]

is this from the Romane The Gypsy Sound in Nashville dvd

[@bennymcfarlane]

merci!

[@Namaps]

@jens1983 There is such a language as Gypsy.... It's more commonly referred to as Romani but there's nothing incorrect about calling it Gypsy.

[@joelbitton]

Bonjour, pourquoi n'avez vous pas plus de Video Music sur KZbin?

[@JuanDeCarmen]

Can anyone tell me whether this is part of a DVD and in case it is, its name. I would be interested in getting the accompanying booklet.

[@deathofaclown]

it's funny watching this and learning how little I actually know.

[@schlopskis]

And also around 2.47 it sounds like Emi9 - Eb9 - Dmi9 - Db9 - Cmaj9 which is a little bit different from Emi9 - Ebmaj9 - Dmi9 - Db7 - Cmaj9

[@Havok474]

3:20 sounds megadeth, holy wars solo.

[@soundwrks]

Furthermore, does anyone know where to find the sheet music that comes with this?

[@superflysoulbrother]

all that theory talk sounds like a completely different language ;)

[@redhatlook]

@BraydonSzafranski dont worry i agree :D

[@GUNZaBLAZE]

can someone please make it clear to me what he means that we can substitute a 7th chord at the 6th scale degree i'm confused there because he switched over to Em7 from C7 and E is not the 6th degree of C. Can someone clear this up for me it might be really obvious but im not seeing it thanks. PS im having no problem substituting a M9 chord for a m7 chord.

[@thomasbaggerman]

is this from an instructional dvd or something? can someone let me know please? thanks

[@always-stay-positive5187]

Un maitre, guru!

[@cuervodka]

does any one know where to find the score for those scales & exercises?

[@jaapberk1]

Good lesson but a chart with finger settings would be very useful

[@ozorg]

@BraydonSzafranski well said ... ;-)

[@alikge]

@zeetek007 z video is not good. Its blilliant even with subtitles. i just love it!!!

[@kevinpierce2537]

where does this video come from ?

[@munta909]

music belongs to everybody, it does not care about race

[@roxes787b]

Isn't the chords he is playing C7 Am7 Dm7 G7?

[@WillieStratton]

do those guitars have steel or nylon strings?

[@foxybrown2]

what DVD is this from? so I can purchase it

[@joelg125]

What guitar is this? Where do I get it? How much?

[@Ludovikque]

i confirm, the translation isn't very accurate... well, it is accurate but not all the things he says are translated (i'm french). however, thanks to the one who translated for the majority of humans being who doesn't speak french but english. great video... very difficult to sound like Jango

[@Pestako137]

what language is it? because its not english and not gypsy so what is it?

[@Bobman4671]

Is this standard tuning?

[@always-stay-positive5187]

Jazz is so difficult for a beginner in guitar like myself.

[@vonder]

Argentine strings that are silk wrapped

[@AttentionIanBriggs]

@AttentionIanBriggs "A Roman that speaks French and plays Gypsy music" or "A Gypsy that speaks Roman and plays French music."

[@samuelshepard]

i'm debating on whether to buy a gitane dg250 or the dg300..... can anybody help?

[@Vikenstein]

what tunnig is in that kind of music?

[@mortizmortiz]

omg 3:40 sweep "gypsy" picking tecnique

[@clouds5]

@ernieball10454 very nice observation by you. respect :D

[@glorysword]

yeah, steel

[@AttentionIanBriggs]

@espnchris Roman is incorrect. The proper term is Romani, synonymous with Gypsy, thus cancelling the first part of your statement, and making the conclusion of your statement tedious. Now, as for the speaking of French, that is a very common trait of the Romani people considering their third largest populations are found throughout southern France. Also, in the future, please, use commas and better diction to clarify the subject of your message. I couldn't tell if you meant:

[@RobZiak]

@RobZiak I thought you might like that since it was from your video, thought you could use a laugh since all of your comments here are hostile.

[@Hoopermazing]

@GorgonTheMagicMan And, so what? That has nothing to do with my earlier posts. Off with you.
