Minor Swing - Django Reinhardt Solo GYPSY JAZZ

Sign up and get more free lessons now:
www.gypsyandjaz...
In this lesson, you will learn how to play Django Reinhardt's solo over "Minor Swing", note by note and slowly.
In his solo, Django demonstrates a few of his well known techniques, like glissando, glissando with chords, tremolo, octave playing, chromatic scale and a few of his melodic ideas like the use of triads, the minor 6 sound, diminished 7, enclosure with various trill variations and the half tone approach and an octave up lick.
I discuss Django’s unique fingering and the influence of the use of only two fingers (in case you didn't know - Django lost control over three of his fingers after a fire in his caravan in which he got injured) on his technique.
Because I think that this solo is so important, I want to give you
its 1st chorus for free.
Cheers,
Yaakov

This has to be one of the most iconic solos is guitar history. It has everything- tone, phrases, chords, licks, runs, melodic. I come back to it often

[@GypsyAndJazz]

I feel the same way!

[@PaintByMonster]

How have I not found THIS before?! Great video!! You are one of the KZbin guitar teachers I like to hang out with and learn from.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

[@fcxendan]

Best tut ever.. Full of passion. I have felt Django literally. Congrats man.

[@hzpeygamberdevesi]

hello Yaakov. I watched many of your videos and learned a lot. These shares are very valuable. Your explanation is very clear and friendly. I don't know you but it's clear what a good person you are. Humanity needs people like you who generously share what they know. may the blessings be with you. (hope it translated well lol) good day my friend, greetings from turkey

IMMPECABLE PERFORMANCE! Nice of him to put up a lesson.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you!

[@michaelcraig9449]

This sounds so darn cool!! can you post up tabs to help, as this style can be fast and difficult at times..

[@Ludwig_Cox]

Wow, learned all the tabs from all others videos before i found this. This is the closest to Django's original on youtube, exellent job!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Glad I could help!

[@ireibarvaz]

This is so great! you play it so nicely and such a clear lesson! Tell me, you have a video\lesson of the other half as well?😅

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Glad you like it. Well, haven't gotten around to that. There's just so much I want to share. You'll see other lessons about Minor Swing on my channel and take a look at my site - gypsyandjazz.com. You'll find a whole course on Django Reinhardt's solo on Minor Swing from 1947! Have fun playing!

[@ireibarvaz]

@@GypsyAndJazz Thanks, I'll do that!

[@puppylinuxer]

This is wonderful teaching and playing thank you Yakov

[@JacksonTaylorandTheSinners]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of this. .Endlessly helpful. Thank you again.

[@jackbo4175]

Best instructon Gypsy Manouche jazz ever! Ty so much 😎🎸🎶

[@jalileoo_]

Please the rest of the solo 😕 i have learned this one by heart now could you please help with the rest? you the best bro!!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thanks man My best wishes to you!

[@thiagojust]

Hi man, how are you? I´m a big fan of you and I watch all your lessons and learn a lot from you. Thank you so much. I just have a simple suggestion (after trying hard to learn it) that points to the arpeggio you did at 6:23 in this video here. I think that rather than making the diminished arpeggio, he does the subV (Bb7) one, being the notes: Ab - Bb - D - F. What do you think? Thank you again and lots of kisses from a brazilian living in Portugal.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thanks for your close attention. This is what I heard. I keep going back to Django and will happily listen again.

[@thiagojust]

@@GypsyAndJazz hahaha, I was studying your video really hard. Big deal and brain bending.

[@mickeyfromcamden]

Hi Yaakov, thanks from London! Great lesson and nice playing!

[@enricorusso4576]

thanks Yakov and please for the second part

[@GypsyAndJazz]

I have another complete solo of Django here- courses.gypsyandjazz.com/courses/minor-swing-1947 I'll try to get down to finish this one as well

[@keora11]

Just love your sharing !

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kennywally]

You're a brilliant player. Love the lesson! But I have to use all four fingers when I play this solo!

[@altonlathrop7925]

Hi Yaakov, your lessons are great! I have to ask, what guitar are you playing? Your tone is fantastic!

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Hi In this video I use my old 1967 Favino But usually I play on my Polak signature GJ guitar model www.polak-gypsyguitars.com/standard

[@sansalka]

You are the best ... Gracias from Peru

[@rickzar9631]

very good lesson thanks!

[@teodelfuego]

[@lastorianostra8173]

Jacov, you are the Number One! I really started to think that the soul of Django has been reincarnated in you|

[@flaviosonetti515]

[@MrPomse]

So good. Thanks a lot.

[@johnrothfield6126]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@TheJdmusicals]

nice lesson

[@pjokivuo]

Fantastic!

[@MrFadicuz]

Hello brother, I am guitarist from Sydney, Australia Play a well-read music notation, but I still forbid I cant play fast and technique like you play on the guitar do you estimate that you recommend me Is there a special book to comment how to play the improvisation and ladders and The 6th Diminished Scale - Major and Minor | the same time guitar chords with technical Solos, such as jazz and blues Thank you

[@GypsyAndJazz]

fadi yako Hi. Please register to my site at www.gypsyandjazz.com. There is a free ebook you can get there about building technique with arpeggios and a free trial in one of my courses with a nice way to implement scales.(the Classical Games course) you can browse my courses and I'm sending a lot of information and trying to help. Keep i n touch! Cheers

[@agustinlopez9494]

thanks satch

[@coleashmore]

Great vid! It sounds like Django played the b flat for the first note and not b in the first lick? It is really hard to tell because he slurs it so fast, and b natural is correct to outline the Am6 chord.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

I hear B natural

[@hasis21]

can you give an advice on how to do that descending run at 1:11 ( the thing at the 15th frets, not the chromatic scale on the first frets)? im stuck at that section for about 6 months and it's so frustrating. i can even play the chromatic scale at a decent speed, but that section before it's so annoying. the strings just sound bad and almost muted when im trying to do the descending run.

[@GypsyAndJazz]

+hasis21 Hi - the principle is to understand the subdivisions - you can see it in this free lesson- kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2aVi3Vqd9VjjKs As I demonstrate there- It will be much easier to star with 4 strings and then add more You can start with an easy 3 strings chord and then move to more difficult chords If the basic chord is hard for you, it will be very difficult to play this run So you must get used to the chord shape first If you'll be consistent with a DAILY PRACTICE of 10 minutes a day in that way, I'm sure you'll see the progress Good luck and please send updates how you're doing Cheers Yaakov

[@intuneorange]

Your grand Bouche speaks the truth

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Cute - absolutely!

[@mythocrat]

Yakov where are you from? Do you give lessons in person (tête-à-tête)?

[@DBRNJHVIC]

great, great !

[@benoitlegrix4306]

hello very good video.i learn it.but i have a question .how long to know the chorus. for me that s difficult to have a speed . thank you

[@GypsyAndJazz]

Hi Benoit. The role is to play slow. or the fastest you can play while keeping clean. Keep with this tempo for a few hours of playing - and you can increase it a little bit and so on Good luck!

[@benoitlegrix4306]

Thanks

[@MrBatrakov]

Perfekt

[@GypsyAndJazz]

That's high praise, indeed!

[@kennywally]

How many BPM is this? love it

[@GypsyAndJazz]
