4 HACKS to speed up your guitar technique // Joscho Stephan

[@colthayhurst4199]

Been watching you for 15 years now man. Your playing has gotten only better. Thank you for all the inspiration. One day we will meet and we will shred some gypsy and bebop my music brother.

[@winstoncampbell6180]

this is an amazing video !! very concise and goes through very important aspects that apply to any lick or phrase you want to learn or workshop. Thank you Joscho !!

[@matthewcannata5883]

Did Tommy give you that guitar? Awesome

[@lucianmunteanu8751]

Exact...hehee🤣🤣🤣

[@ЛешаЧупрыкин]

No, it has not enough abrasions and scratches.

[@petersampson4635]

Django and I are very similar, I have only 3 fingers on my left hand now. After 48 years to learn a new style is a little daunting, but here goes!

[@richardsmithmusic]

Hey Joscho!! Looking forward to the US tour in May!! I’ll be stealing and using this lick! Haha.

[@twofishes8846]

Photogenic down and dirty, short and sweet lesson. You teach as well as you play maestro.

[@TheRooks87]

What precious gems from a precious gem!

[@1mespud]

Bravo tutorial!! A musician is one who organizes sounds, noise, pitch, tones, space and time. Pro tip: Even though the notes and beats usually get all the attention, the space, gaps, rests and margins between those notes and beats "is" music also. It's important that even the "silence" has to be heard. And there are moments when you also have to control your adrenaline when performing. A great deal of music also involves "ghost notes" and/or the "placebo effect".

Thanks this was a great lesson. What a lesson should have no matter the subject. Speed, technical, timing, spacing, rhythm is does the piece we are learning sound enjoyable? This did!

Thank you Joscho for this lesson. It's a gift for us

Tolles Video! Danke! Jetzt muss ich nur noch wissen, wo der Kessel mit dem Zaubertrank steht! ;-)

[@habsom1406]

Very clear and direct explanation, pertinent too! And nice videography and editing also. Thanks for uploading Joscho!

[@EzequielSufructuosa]

Me a resultado muy interesante, sobre todo e incorporado 2 conceptos muy útiles, 1 utilizar el yeite mismo como celula ritmica y trasladarlo a otras frases. 2 el tip N4 es el mas importante. Gracias Joscho =)

[@235buz]

This is way over my head. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@riceflatpicking4954]

You can do it

[@Sphereal]

Great video and lesson!

[@briantriesart]

Thanks a lot! Really. I am practicing it. Just a little feedback about video edition, in 1:48 It might be interesting to place the thumbnail (of the left hand) on the right side of the screen. And the zoom in (of the right hand) on the left side. Basically to keep seeing a guitar, and not have to cross my eyes in an opposite diagonal to the one I'm used to. But It's a really tiny detail compared to the valuable musical information! Thanks.

[@WilfriedBehre]

great! Thank You!!

wow, you've obtained the cgp aspect that started with chet atkins. congrats!

Nice to see Joscho is a CGP.

[@puppier]

Could you please say "Get to the Chopper" on your next video :) thanks

[@nathanbaker9837]

Very useful stuff. Thanks! I must admit that I'm a bit baffled though. I have just spent many years learning the "Gypsy" right hand technique; i.e., predominantly down strokes, and down strokes on all string changes, as employed by Stochelo, Angelo De Barr, Fappy, Tchavalo, etc. Now, in your case, that's all out the window. Any comments?

[@JoschoStephan]

Hey Nathan, yes you are absolutely right - but this lick isn't a gypsy-swing lick, so we can open up our technique and use alternate picking. It's a lick in the style of Tommy Emmanuel ;)

[@nathanbaker9837]

@@JoschoStephan Thanks for the reply Joscho! I didn't want to throw the baby out with the bath water; That makes it perfectly clear. If this lick is good enough for You and Tommy, I can certainly abide. Cheers!

[@ThefrenchFranz]

@@JoschoStephan Talking about TE, you're playing a Maton with the letters CGP inlaid... was it borrowed from him? I love your common version of "Something". The neck is absolutely beautiful, which wood is it made of ? Thanks for caring (I'm talking about the lesson, too :-) Blessings from France!

[@maharmusicstudio1733]

Definitely CGP

[@jguitar23]

Generosity 🎉 Thank you❤

[@jaroslavmencl9543]

Hi guys, what Maton is Joscho playing? It's CGP, but black nut, slightly brighter fretboard and mainly no kangaroo! :)

[@JoschoStephan]

It’s the Tommy Signature Modell!

[@jaroslavmencl9543]

@@JoschoStephan Many thanks for reply and greetings from CZ to DE! I also have and love my TE signature Maton, but you know, the kangaroo is the kangaroo :)

[@НуриддинХусниддинов-ф1ц]

guys, I have a question. Please, help) It is Dm harmonic, right? But why we can play it over A7?

[@MJCGuitar]

It has the C# in it, (3rd string, 6th fret), which is the 3rd of the A7 chord. Being that the 3rd of the chord is the note that determins the quality of a chord, the D harmonic minor scales works over the A7 chord with no problem.

[@amrshlomr]

is this a D minor scale? if so, what is that one note that's not in there? the 6th fret of the g string

[@stephenchaulker5521]

Hallo Joscho, ich bin schon lange Fan. Mich interessiert schon lange, warum man ein Plektrum mit einer runderen, weicheren Spitze verwendet. Hat es etwas damit zu tun, dass Sie den Angriffswinkel oder die Handposition auswählen? Ich liebe deine Interpretation von „Nuages“ wirklich!! 💘 🎸🎧🎼🎵🎶

[@borisdankovich1415]

Дякую, Йошо!

[@moge0076]

Hey Joscho. But mm as far as I can see you`r showing your own pick-style. For example when you pick the 4 note (A on the first string) well then you do it with an upstroke and not with a downstroke, wich woukd be the standard way to pick in gypsy jazz picking -

[@adl1963]

I love u...and Bireli, Angelo and Tchavolo

[@tcoudi]

i wonder, what gauge of strings are you using on flattop?

[@andrewjeff]

Maton has a good tone for gypsy

[@franfeldanpasubillo8534]

I'm almost there to avail your lessons, financially, one thing however, I am not much educated in reading notes, is there a part of a lesson in knowing to read notes? Tnks sir

[@JoschoStephan]

Hey, sure. There are two options if you have problems reading music. 1) Just watch the video lessons - everything you need to know will be explained to you - note by note ;) 2) Use the TABs in the sheet music.

[@franfeldanpasubillo8534]

Where is the sheet part to get the tabs . Thnks a lot sir

[@richardturbine1769]

I am wondering what makes this a lick over A7, given that it seems to be based on a Dm scale (?), hence, is it because as D is the V of A it resolves to A? If so, could I construct a major lick that did the same by playing C sharp instead of C? After several hours I can play this about as fast as Joscho's slow speed, perhaps a little faster. I do however either use my fingers or my thumb as I can use a pick to save my life as I will always drop it after a bar or two. I have never figured out how people manage to hang on to them for minutes.

[@richardturbine1769]

I will answer my own question then, now I realise that I was confused about my modes, momentarily. The lick is based on A Phrygian, that is why it supports A7. I have worked at this for a week and the best I can do fingerpicking is about 100 bpm it is however my LH that is slowing me down as I can fingerpick with two fingers much faster.
