Are you self-taught? How long does it take to get proficient at Gypsy Jazz? So far I've been stuck playing transcriptions for over a year, but really haven't really tried improvising.

[@zakmartel3022]

I've taken lessons from a bunch of different guitarists, so I wouldn't say I'm self taught. If you can, definitely jam with other musicians who are also learning this style. It's fun, and I think it makes you improve much faster. I've been playing a long time, however I've seen other musicians get proficient within only a couple of years. I love learning transcriptions, I always have at least 1 on the go. If you're doing that, you can definitely start improvising. I would recommend taking lines you like from the solos you've learnt and use them over other tunes. So, if you learn something over C major for example you can use that line whenever there is a major chord in the tune. I hope this helps. Cheers!

[@zakmartel3022]

Thank you! It's a Larkspur guitar, made by a luthier from Montreal. Here's a link to his site - www.larkspurlutherie.com/

What’s the best place to start learning Jazz soloing like this?

[@somethingsomething5582]

Jens Larsen, he's on youtube

[@zakmartel3022]

Denis Chang and Christiaan van Hemert also have great youtube channels, they teach this style of music.

Yeah, that was pretty good I guess, but it would be better on a vintage Les Paul custom
