I'm only repeating what so many other people have said, but you have managed to make something which up until 10 minutes ago would have sounded impossibly complicated, comprehensible and , after a bit more practice, re-producible. I'm already sounding jazzier than I ever thought possible. Now i'm going to light up a Gauloises and bask in the afterglow.
Really great lesson! Is it enough to remember the pattern for each chord or do you have to remember where 1, 3 and 5 are located in all the places? I mean do you think about what chord tone you are playing or do you think about the patterns more? Greetings from Sweden
Absolutely brilliant tutorial - thanks Robin! As a classical fiddler (with a few years of bluegrass thrown in) I was "brung up" on the scales and areggios - absolutely essential - the guiding lattice on which the vines of beautiful and artful music grow... However, when it came to learning guitar (some 50 years' experience now) I did it off my own bat, listening to records (1st-time around vinyl!) and copying.. working out the complexity of six strings with a dodgy B (as opposed to the simple, regular 4 string fiddle) as I went. Now, aged 60, I'm just getting into jazz (it finds you in the end) and Gypsy Jazz. Funny thing is - I always loved it, just never knew what it was! (My daughter played Clun Penguin on a Gameboy many years ago and there is a superb bit of gypsy Jazz in that game soundtrack - forgive my ignorance but is it Django??) Anyway, now starting to revisit the "classical" approach and paring everything back to the bare bones - the keys... the scales...and really enjoying starting all over again. There are plenty of videos on TH-cam explaining soloing (in every genre) but this simple explanatory video takes the biscuit! Simple, basic, yet tantalisingly taunting in the slick bits played from those basic I, IV, V chord arpeggios, towards the end! Brilliant! Thanks
I'm on the cello but this works... This is pretty good step by step instruction on what you should focus on first to gather the familiar muscle memory needed to be able to improvise. Thanks for the tips
Cool crispy lesson. I dig it! Thank you Robin for doing this for us. Wow, you're coming to L.A. Awesome! By the way and as a side note, your apartment/house looks really cool. Just saying. As always, thank you Robin for all you do! You are appreciated!
Super, at last I have undestood how the magic of ascending/ descending gypsy music works ! "Merci infiniment", that is great lesson Let"s go to work now :)
It really is helping me. I am at the beginning of my Gypsy Jazz journey. I have learnt a few licks from you tube lessons but I didn’t really have these arpeggio patterns under my fingers. Since I have been working on the patterns in the first part of this lesson it has become much easier to play tunes. Thank you. Still working on rhythm, the pomp. I can do it but not great. Getting it to swing is still a challenge. Thanks for great lessons.
@@johnduffield3269 excellent John! When you’re ready to seriously improve take a look at the Gypsy Jazz Club where we have everything organized for you with private coaching from me and help from a community of guitarists learning together. Too many cool things to list but info here when you’re ready www.GypsyJazzClub.com
Hello. For right now I rrally cant understand what you are saying at all but I really do want to learn from this contents. If I m at the level that I cant even understand what you are saying... what do you suggest to practice? Like.. I know open chord.. but you just saying hey let s play these chords at these all different frats, that s whrre I feel lost. And when you say "ok so this technique will sound like this" and just only playing the technique without explaning how it goes... I dont knkw how to understand it. Maybe im not at enough level to understand it. What should I do? Btw thank you for spreading good knowledge and hope i learn more!!
If you ever do one of your gypsy jazz get togethers in Pittsburgh, I'll be there. Sixty years ago (so I'm told), this was the hot spot for jazz between NY and Chicago.
Hello Robert! GREAT video. Most of the guitar videos that I watch don’t offer me very much, stuff that, while I’m by no means an expert with, cover ground I’m familiar with already. Segment by segment, this video offers more information in a very short time than most online tutorials. I’m using this with my mandolin, this gives even more gypsy feel than guitar (though I’m going to learn it on guitar as well). Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year!
GREAT TUTORIAL ROBIN KEEPING IT STRAIT FORWARD AND MINIMAL IS A GREAT WAY TO START YOU HAVE TO WALK BEFORE YOU CAN RUN THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND GYPSY ON SOUNDS GREAT MY BEST REGARDS DR.K
I gave up bc I can't always tell. In the future could you say something like 3 string fifth fret. I played a few instruments before so I understand the concepts but I'm new on guitar.
I don’t know how to say it I guess? There may only be 3 basic chords but the musical phrase ( or what ever you call it) does not end on the 3 rd chord in the progression. The resolution is in the 4 th bar and/or thd 8th. Which I think repeats the first chord. So I was confused when I first listened to your lesson and then your actual playing on the changes. I went to the piano and figured out what was going on and why I was confused. Thanks and don’t mind me.
Yeah I can read now, but I started with sound. I think from sound to symbol is best. I hear a lot of Bach, Spanish and Satchmo. There is the key. Bach was the master of harmony for sure!
Great attitude, great technique, crystal clear explanations and our man here looks like Rob Lowe. Best guitar teacher ever, instant subscribe!
wow thansk for the kind words Enrique stay inspired mate! Robin

Tony Shoe awesome Tony that’s the way to do it.. just play! Robin
Great lesson that is enjoyable to experience!! Generous with useful information!!
thanks George!
Same formula for all other chord types will work, methinks? Or is there a flaw in that thought?
Absolutely Dave have a go take it slow and let me know! 🎸💕Robin
Reminds me of Joseph Joseph the chord progression. Am i wrong?
‘Minor Swing’ and ‘Joseph Joseph’ both in Am going to Dm with an E7 😃

I have no idea where you are on the guitar
Like what strings what fret I keep having to rewind
Ryan Harvey yes rewinding helps and we all do that when learning from video. You can also slow the speed to make it easier.. cheers, Robin
I gave up bc I can't always tell. In the future could you say something like 3 string fifth fret. I played a few instruments before so I understand the concepts but I'm new on guitar.
Ryan Harvey will do
@@GypsyJazzSecrets thanks you!
That's a great lesson, I was practicing arpeggios to all of me last night, when I have them fully learned I'm going to apply them this way. cheers!
David Tynan yes a nice way to mix it up David! Robin
great teaching and playing thank you a k-zillion- luv it
Louis cheers Louis glad it helps 🎸❤️🙏Robin
I’m hard of hearing. Old man I guess. Anyway I hear a 4 chord pattern. But you say only 3 chords. What’s wrong with me.
Bruce Jeric the 3 chords are Am Dm E7 what 4 chords do you hear?
I don’t know how to say it I guess? There may only be 3 basic chords but the musical phrase ( or what ever you call it) does not end on the 3 rd chord in the progression. The resolution is in the 4 th bar and/or thd 8th. Which I think repeats the first chord. So I was confused when I first listened to your lesson and then your actual playing on the changes. I went to the piano and figured out what was going on and why I was confused. Thanks and don’t mind me.

I love this been experimenting and it works great with a diminished chord - Thanks Robin another gem!
Doug Linaker great mate glad it works for you! Robin
While this is cool, I don’t think Django thought in arpeggios. Maybe, I could be wrong.
wanda James he thought in sounds without names .. the master! Robin
Yeah I can read now, but I started with sound. I think from sound to symbol is best. I hear a lot of Bach, Spanish and Satchmo. There is the key. Bach was the master of harmony for sure!
wanda James yes absolutely!
This is so cool to play. love it. it really enhances my soloing. ty
