LEARN TO SOUND LIKE A LEGEND (Tutorial - Django's 1937 Minor Swing solo)

[@marcus2515]

How did I miss This!!!! Great!!!

[@joan.ps1]

You probably have the most professional look of your videos! It's amazing! and the content of the video fits :)

I love Minor Swing. It’s the first piece I’ve learned completely by ear since I started gypsy jazz 5 months ago. I still can’t do the chromatic run (the second one) cleanly at full speed though. How Django can do that with 2 fingers is insane.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

If you check my Instagram I have a short tutorial video in which I demonstrate a much easier way with the same effect!

[@hanspeterlillese2225]

Me too! I believe it's good to practice the original and try to push the envelope, but after a while find something that works, because in the end, you are going to play like you, and not someone else. 🙂

[@erichnussbaum]

For the run two fingers are enough! ;-)

Hey Christiaan! Soon it is one year i discovered your channel and i ended up putting all the time i have playing guitar into your teachings. I really enjoy all the content you put out! Finally i am ready for this one. It is crazy how much time i already spent watching your videos and practising and analysing the details of the Techniques you developed. Greetings from Switzerland

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Wow dude, that is really really cool to hear. So how's it going with the guitar practice and are you happy with the results? Grtz!

[@sevenstringsamurai]

@@ChristiaanvanHemert La Pompe is slowly getting smoother, but still hard to keep the rythm and not play too many long notes at the start of a chord-change :) With the Picking i am very happy and the 2-5-1 Series and "learn every jazz standard" did the difference for me. To use the Licks in different Keys is still a struggle as my eyes seem to deceive me with all the jumping around on the fretboard. Double down strokes do still not work right at higher speed, so i tend to use a upslant sweep to cheat a few hard passages, but its coming as well. Overall i am already at a very different stage as i was one year ago, and to be able to learn one of my favorite songs now already makes me smile :)

Such beautiful clean picking.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Thank you kindly!

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Great play and brilliant sound. Very well explained. A meeting with clarinet-expert Martin Schmidt-Hahn could be nice

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

I need to learn at least a part of this.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

It's worth it!

[@tcoudi]

so not up to speed, but i can do this, when i first starded to learn gypsy jazz stuff a year ago, i never dreamed i can get this far. great lesson, Chris. thanks.

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

That is really great to hear tcoudi!

[@21Million]

Nice video. KZbin has needed this one for a long time. :-)

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Indeed!

[@typeSELMER]

BONJOUR merci pour la vidéo idéale pour étudier MINOR SWING

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

You're welcome typeSelmer!

[@marcus2515]

I hate to say this change, I hear Django quickly embellish the A on the E string 5th fret before he goes into the rest 7-5 4-5 7-5 4-7 5 etc. It’s lightning speed mili second still as I hear it slowed And actually sit makes more sense to me with Django to me Feel free to correct me

[@michalistomazos4023]

how do I gain access to tabs? Does the 5 euro per month patreon include the full song tabs?

[@phutureproof]

Such a lovely tone! Can I hassle you for info on the guitar? No need I found it in the description before posting this comment! Great stuff as always, much appreciated! Holy shit, I'll stick with my ESP, those guitars are just a little bit massively out of my price range 🤣🤦‍♂️👍

[@KamilKisiel]

Maybe you're looking at the vintage instruments? The Altamira guitars are pretty affordable, around $1000...

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Mine is a top of the line Altamira, which is expensive for an Altamira but very cheap compared to a luthier built guitar and it is just as good, in some respects even better!

[@TheJoebob13579]

Great channel, transcription has a few wrong notes and tabs are not accurate to what and how you play, but nice channel.
