scale madness part 2 ( what to play on minor chords in gypsy jazz

[@naturligfunktion4232]

The more I learn, the more I understand that triads really are fundamental

[@clearmanlawyers753]

Thanks to your videos and my practice, I'm slowly catching up to you Sven. Only 3,000 years to go now.

[@SvenJungbeck]

I think you'll get there a lot sooner! 😅

[@mainsblanches8793]

So helpful!!...thanks for sharing!!...

[@mikesciacca]

Good lesson, thank you!

[@ynotpresley]

Amazing teacher and lesson

total boss, so useful.

[@big_forehead_fish]

Omg, Sven, you really catch it and explain in the easiest way. For other people it looks like magic, despite they may know how to play some interesting chord progressions. Just add extra notes to triads! :) The other important task is to develop your voсabulary and be able to play interesting phrases with this.

Hey Sven wear tighter boxer shorts, you'll hit that high note. But I'm messin with ya bro, cos your approach flows really nice - from your playing and also to your teaching. Being relaxed is something people take for granted but when ya playing its actually a skill and that really helps keep the right hand wrist and a bit of the forearm to relax. Finally those avoid notes, now that you've shown how to use them, I find I use them a lot now, probably too much but they were getting lonely on the fretboard. So thanks from county Devon, good luck with ya touring which I hopes makes it to England, even though that idiot Brexit decision has made it a bit more difficult.

Hey man we are in England in two weeks: Feb 22 Sheffield 23, Rainford, 25 Nottingham, it’s on my website!

Nice explanation, I wondered about using the logical Dorian mode when playing over a minor 6. Your explanation makes sense learn the triads, arpeggios and and add specific notes instead of thinking scales or modes. Especially for gypsy jazz. To sound authentic means sounding like Django. Django did play chromatic scales, perhaps you could expound on this?

[@SvenJungbeck]

Hi, The Dorian mode includes the 7th, which sounds wrong on tonic and subtonic chords! Cheers😉

A better edit ! Thanks for the two videos.

[@SvenJungbeck]

🤣😉 Thx, I should have let it be like the 1st version

[@SvenJungbeck]

😀 Yes, I almost never cut, to avoid additional work, but when I mess things up, I sometimes start again without stopping the vid. This time I didn't remember.

[@jarrodelks4928]

@@SvenJungbeck I did too much cutting, way too much in my first video, it was a lot of extra work. It's quite strange going from teaching 1 person to teaching a camera for everyone to see. All the best, J :)

[@nathanmort1816]

@@SvenJungbeck I like the idea - if I am correct... there is no scale. It is about the notes and the melody. I have always found scale based solos very boring so I like this idea a lot.

[@pey7759]

Sorry to post a question so long after your upload, but maybe I'll get lucky and you'll reply: I've always learned more naturally via the relative tone to the tonic vs note letters, as in 1-3-5-7 as opposed to a-c-e-g for a minor... would you recommend familiarizing the lettered notes OVER numbered as an approach to soloing when initially getting things undee your hands?

[@big_forehead_fish]

Will there be part 3? :)

[@alancosens]

Why bother singing the note names when practicing, as opposed to the interval? Is that tune/progression always played in the same key?

[@SvenJungbeck]

It doesn’t matter how you organize it, as long as it works. The advantage of note names is thinking in something like key + x Minor swing fe is in Am but there’s a couple of none diatonic notes, that appear a lot. Instead of thinking in changing scales or arpeggios it’s much easier to think: Where is this note and what’s the extra sound. But as I said it actually doesn’t matter how you organize the fretboard, as long as you just know it. For the intermediate typical process, it’s good to know a lot of ways, especially when one’s way isn’t leading to results! Warm regards, Sven

there are 7 positions on any stringed instrument. The chord rythm is too restrictive and cn be repetitive and boring. I love the gypsy style but after about 100 years we need to move on. We need to take what we like, what sounds good and do something new.
