I first saw this video about 6 months ago, but hands down, this is the best single standalone gypsy jazz lesson video ever published on youtube. :-) The simple fact that you were able to take the subject of gypsy jazz and distill from it, one of the most hard to extract core concepts, is amazing.

I liked that confession about "...not sure whether that has any musical or harmonic value..." (not word for word but close). I noticed that when fast and precise guitarists lay out some fast and flashy run it always looks impressive and convincing and if its of a mostly chromatic nature it fits any harmonic context! So, it's good to be a fast and precise guitarist in the first place. Additionally, it never hurts to add some musical and harmonic context on top of that :-) Never mind, just rambling... it's all fun in the end.

Thanks man, My first time checking your channel out. I just subscribed. I played rock guitar and learned by ear so this is theory is all new to me. Can you recommend books or videos or lessons that would explain the chords used and the scale that go over them and how it all ties together? I learn pattern playing and move it up and down the neck, but i really want to learn what i am doing. I want to know how the scales tie together with the chords..dim chords, minor chords, seventh chords. Rock was easy, hammer on and pull offs and bar chords and pentatonic scales. this style I love and want to get it down right so I can really learn to play it right. Thanks John

Paul-- Thanks for providing this breakdown of the arpeggios. I found the diagram you use for illustration to be useful and interesting. Forget those complainers. However, I wonder if you would comment on your choice of fingerings/positions in the Django lick. I found it more economical to slide to the fifth fret with my second finger to play the G (fourth note in the arpeggio) and then work across the finger board to get the rest. It lays out very nicely. Since Django had to play all of his runs with two fingers, I imagine this is how he would have done it. I can articulate more on this if it is not clear, but once you do the slide to the fourth fret (second finger) the rest of the run is right there. I know you talked about the advantages of many notes on the same string and perhaps that explains your choice. For me, having the notes fall into place with the left hand makes me want to move up the neck to find the notes. FWIW: I will probably work on it both ways just for the value of having several options and improving my dexterity.

+Thomas Morarre Thanks again for the video. I was also not clear on what all of the symbols inside the dots on the diagram meant. Did you say there was a key or guide to the notation somewhere?
@PaulProvosty
@PaulProvosty 8 жыл бұрын
+Thomas Morarre I have watched many players and have noticed that everyone has their own preferences on how they feel most comfortable fretting things. For example, I like doing 4-note-per-string chromatic runs with only my first three fingers, no pinky. That's just what feels most comfortable. I saw Gonzalo do it, I tried it, and I noticed it felt better than using all four fingers. I think this all boils down to our own personal physiology. Literally down to how fast or strong our muscles work in each hand. So that's why I don't recommend precise fingerings. As for the symbols, those are stock symbols that are built into the fretboard program I downloaded. So I really don't have much control over what symbols are used haha. But I think I'm just going to start using "notes" instead of "symbols" for my diagrams ;)
@thomasmorarre9193
@thomasmorarre9193 8 жыл бұрын
+Paul Provosty -- Agreed (about the physiology-- for example, it looks like your fingers are considerably longer than mine.) However, I liked the diagrams; I just didn't know what some of the symbols inside the circles were supposed to indicate. Don't let that change your approach.

I am confused. You start out saying A9 and then talk about moving chromatically up the 3rd but move up to E which is the 5th. What am I missing? The chords you reference also seem different based on the video although I am not sure I am seeing your fingering correctly. Your A9 looks like D9.
@PaulProvosty
@PaulProvosty 8 жыл бұрын
The showcase lick is loosely based off an A9 arpeggio, key word loosely hahah. The point I was making with the diminished ideas starting on the 3rd is that it is a common thing for gypsy players to do. In this instance the diminished idea actually starts on the flatted 2nd! I didn't really articulate that property in this video, but to be honest, the point of the video wasn't really to showcase the "theory" behind it. It's more to just show how the lick works and what makes it cool. I might honestly start leaving theory stuff out of my videos because I think it always ends up adding more confusion rather than helping to clear things up! If you would like, I can definitely go more into detail about the theory, and maybe even articulate a little better in a follow up video. But, in the end, I was just trying to show what makes this lick cool and easy to play :)

Could you take a minute and explain how you mute with the left hand when you play solo, as it seems you are using a 'floating wrist' right hand technique.
@PaulProvosty
@PaulProvosty 8 жыл бұрын
It's in the way you play with your left hand that allows you to play cleanly without many notes ringing out, especially when using a floating wrist technique. There are a couple main things you really have to pay attentions to. Firstly, when doing fast arpeggio runs, make sure your fingers, as they pull off of the strings, don't accidentally pluck the string, because that will make a string ring out. So keep in mind that you must pull off of the fretboard with ease, don't claw it hahah. Secondly, you can achieve clean runs by using the flesh of certain unused fingers to mute strings adjacent or near the string you are trying to make ring out. The key is to always maintain control and to make sure you are doing everything necessary, left hand wise, to keep other strings from ringing out. And that usually includes using the flesh of other fingers to mute unwanted strings. Thirdly, you can use the palm of your right hand to mute strings after a phrase! :)
@PaulProvosty
@PaulProvosty 8 жыл бұрын
For example, I have noticed my pinky has a propensity to pluck strings after I'm done fretting them. So if I play an arpeggio using my pinky, I have to be very mindful not to pull off of a fretted note with too much force or I'll end up plucking it. You may notice that same thing with other fingers. It's good to have a firm grip on the guitar, but not too firm! It's good to remember to relax the left hand after a difficult passage or phrase, as to relax the muscles and relieve tension. This ebb and flow of tension and release in the left hand will allow for a much more relaxed style of playing, and may fix some muting woes you may be facing!
@mattbantle
@mattbantle 8 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul, this is very helpful! To me this is only an issue when you move upwards on the fretboard. Moving downwards you usually automatically mute the strings. Any advice on how to practice that best? It seems to me that this something that will rather come over time...
@PaulProvosty
@PaulProvosty 8 жыл бұрын
+Mathias Bantle upwards and downwards as in ascending and descending?
@mattbantle
@mattbantle 8 жыл бұрын
Upwards moving from the lower E to the higher E and downwards the opposite way. I think moving upwards is much more challenging as you won't have any 'flesh' to use to mute the lower E, A and D string when you're soloing on the G, B and E string. I also think that unmuted strings tend to resonate 'in sympathy' with other strings anyway.... that is why we electric guitar players use the palm of our hand. Sorry, to bother you with this but it seems to be a super essential element of getting the gipsy technique right and in my view has been overlooked my many tutorials (as opposed to the 'rest stroke' concept which is pretty straightforward as a concept for many players coming from a different style).
