Thank you so very much for your selfless and excellent help to further Django's music. Your playing is amazing and you teach very well. The lessons are always excellent, and I learn something new with each discovery. I'm truly grateful to you for this!
The Django in Rome is so great I guess because it's all Django on guitar and you can hear him so well. I picked up on the enclosures of C arpeggios on After You've Gone from that. He really lays into that device every chance he gets. Lots more to decipher but happy to sort of get that. This is great, thanks!
Thank you very much for taking the time to teach us this wonderful music. I look forward to learning as much as I can to become a musician like you on GJG.
Hi Christiaan, Your tutorials always sound so encouraging and inspirational. With respect to tremolando, could you recommend some exercise to improve this wonderful right hand technique?
Fantastic video as always! I would add that players should try to be very sensitive when playing these phrases. Watch the soloist you are accompanying, personally I love this kind of dynamic playing underneath my violin but under my guitar it can often feel invasive. Watch the soloist, if the accompaniment is making him/her uncomfortable then you will probably see them looking at you with eyes of death :-) Also watch out for other accompanists playing tremolos at the same time as you, this will get very messy very quickly. There's only room for 1 Django in the rhythm section!
Hello! Great lesson/tips as always! I really like your content. I have a question regarding picks: I recently switched over to a heavier pick (1.14 mm) and found it much easier to play the sweeps with it. However, it sure makes the tremolo harder. The question is simple: what pick thickness do you use?
I can play both loud and light. Most important thing is to keep your right hand/arm relaxed and realize that a strong sound comes from pick SPEED not force!

Thanks Tommy!
Great video! Thanks. 7:43 I think that D would sound good going up once more to F# because it wants to land on a G

Yeah, great tips. I would actually never use these tricks when comping another guitar soloist, only violinists and clarinet players!

Overall, do you play with a light touch or do you dig in and play with a stronger touch and loud? Thanks
