Romane - Gypsy Jazz Guitar Lesson 2/3

Romane showing some gypsy jazz techniques and theory.

He tells you what he's playing if you know the notes on the neck. The one pattern over a Dom7 chord or a major chord is play the root, then got to the major third and starting on that note play a diminished scale, it makes a 7b9 arpeggio. The last thing he demonstrates is just a whole tone scale, that you can start it on any note and it will pattern in and out of any key in an interesting way.

Fantastic lesson covering a huge range of topics. It is in French but has subtitles. "Keep hand away from the top, like Django" I VI II V and its variants. Diatonic substitutions: C Em7 Am7 considered the same. Tritone substitutions: Romane says that in the progression Em7 D#7 Dm7 that the D#7 is a tritone substition for A7 ! Never thought of it that way. He talks about dim7 chords used for 7th chords and suggests starting on the root and then going into the dim7 chord, IE G B D F Ab B D F etc. He gives a horizontal fingering ala Django. He goes over horizontal fingering for major and minor chords. He goes over fingering for whole tone scale (2 notes per string). He goes over chromatic scale. Excellent discussion of variants of I vi ii V7 and variants.

Diminished and wholetone are really easy to figure out because they're symmetrical. For diminished you just need to have intervals of m3s. That's 3 frets away from where you started each time. If you do two notes per string, use index pinky, move up to the next string, up a half step, and repeat. Just make sure you move up two frets when you get to the B string. Same with wholetone except do 3 notes per string playing 2 whole steps.

[@jaikwillis]

it only matters what notes you play, you can see roughly where his hands are on the neck, if you know where the notes of G7 are then you know what notes to play in that position. start on the 3rd and play a series of notes each a minor 3rd apart, descend back down & end with the note G which isnt in the pattern but ties it back to the chord G7b9. in plain speak, start on the 3rd of the G7 chord (B) & play B D on the 5th string ,F Ab on the 4th, B D on the 3rd etc, descend & land on G

i love the way he cant resist the urge to sing along with the scale, and gives up after realizing he's doing it ^^

[@castelloesbernard]

Super ! très bon cours et quelle gentillesse ! Bravo Mr Romane !

[@Modes9]

I've never been comfortable with that arched-wrist right hand approach. I have to admit the gypsy jazz players really make it work.

[@CaravanCircusBand]

merci beaucoup d'avoir poste cette video qui explique tres tres bien les techniques, bravo !

[@elterrriblo]

If my memories are right, these vids are not extracts from a DVD, but from a old VHS tape.

[@NicoMorgen91]

very well explained, thank you

[@shambach]

you see... basically we need tab for all that!!... awesome job on the guitar

[@darkstar941]

thanks

[@Hucho]

yes it is

[@allenstocker]

use over dom 7th chords, it works really well over 7#5 chords.

[@awellfedbottomfeeder]

Music by all means necessary By tabs...so be it By video.... so beit Judge the product appreciate the effort!!!

[@1blackone]

@astralfarts A more accurate statement would be "All one needs to improvise SIMPLY is shapes and patterns". At some point, as I'm begrudgingly finding out, you have to have SOME theory under your belt to break out of the "playing only for close family and friends and only for 3 minutes at a time because you run outta steam" phase. Sadly, Chord inversions, mode switches, and a musical universe of other voices CANNOT be achieved by just moving the finger shape to another fret and root...

[@shambach]

but there are like 5 different arranges for g7 and so.. how could i know which one is the correct one... i'm using GP5 with that

[@AytekCan]

Hello guys,really I dont need tabs but I need more theory from him,where can I find more video or document from him ? (except this 3 video) Thanks.

[@itsleo9096]

yes would that be possible, PLEASE!!

[@darkstar941]

what kind of chords do you use the whole tone scale over? same as dimished?

[@bigbox9582]

Hey guys, one question :) - Last scale that he is showing, is that whole step scale ?

[@Hucho]

wholetone is like the correct name

[@haunter112]

Nobody NEEDS tab. You just want it SPOON-FED to you. Watch closely... he shows you EXACTLY what he's playing.

[@willy1986tralara]
