Too expensive. Sorry, I went to buy but $109 requires too much trust and I don't trust anyone where money is concerned. Artist Works has sales for $149 for a year and it's non stop for a year with online interaction but yours is just 5 hours of instruction vs 100+ hours elsewhere. Be generous, cut the price and you would get far more students.
You are correct on the variations in starting beat of a common lick as making a dramatic difference. Slight rhythmic variations from straight quarter , eith, and sixteenth notes makes a whole new sound. No one sounds like Django, absolutely no one. I feel his disability became his greatest asset because having only 2 usable fingers made him think linearly and not in box shapes the alway sound the same. He plays with absolute continuity of motion like Charlie Parker and other horn players. He is also the master of space. He leaves space for the phrase effect to set in, unlike the top gypsy players of today who play way too many notes in a spectacular display of technique but devoid of beauty. I can't even listen to them. I've been studying Django since 1971 finding a mark down record of his in a discount store in Boston. I returned to my roomates house and played the record on his parents old console style stereo. Tears came to my eyes and I've listened ever since.
Thank you for posting this! Moreover the blog post with basic tabs. But most of all showing how the framework works to move it around and make it uniquely your own. The triads and enclosure isn't just teaching a song, but a way to play -any- song! Great stuff.
What I love about your lessons is that they are both practical (you can easily and instantly play them), but also radically theoretical in that you teach how to apply them in endless ways.
Yes, this is what I needed, this is what I needed exactly now, this proves my idea that I need to really understand what he is doing...I find 90% of gypsie jazz players cannot come close to his phrasing...its a really big puzzle and you have to add your own spin to it!
Very helpful, I like the way you teach how he thought. I wish this kind of teaching was more prevalent on the Internet. You've done a wonderful thing. Thank you.
Nobody explained it any better than you justt did! You are a true master of your trade! Your work is adorable and the musicality of yours is remarkable, you are exceptionally gifted!!
Brilliant lesson - it's so important to understand how the licks relate to the notes of the chord's arpeggio - then you can use the lick whenever you see that chord...good stuff.
Thank you Yaakov for posting this lesson. I appreciate how you state at the beginning that much of what Django did in his playing is simple to understand once you break it down. Django was absolutely incredible of course, but I'm a guitar player who simply wants to play a few licks/runs here and there in the style of gypsy jazz and your lesson here is extremely helpful. Thank you!! Steve
I’m really interested in the way that he saw the guitar, how he understood it and how he navigated it. so far from what I can see is he really understood the arpeggios up and down the neck, and played a lot from those… being a self taught player, knowing that he was one too.. I’m really trying to figure out what his approach was
Hi Nico, when you play a diminished chord on the 3rd, 5th, b7 or b9 of a dominant 7 chord, you get the 7b9 sound. More about that here: www.jazzguitar.be/blog/django-reinhardt/
I notice on the gypsy style guitar , the fret markers are 1,3,5,7,10,12 . On my Gretsch Sierra , they are 1,3,5,7,9,12 . I am following along but I am using fingerings that seem to more naturally occur to me. It seems to be working.
I never learned music theory. I can play this somewhat competently but I don’t understand any of the things you’re talking about and it makes me regret learning how to play wrong for all these years
Hi Yaakov. Why you say B is the sixth of Dm? It should be Bb. Now if I play the arpeggio, it coincides, is a B, but if I play the scale of Dm is a Bb. I'm asking you because this idea Django uses it many times. Thanks, Abe Cherem
In the first example, which is the first lick to minor swing, to me it sounds like Django starts off on b flat and very quickly pulls off to a a then G# Is this correct? Because I notice you start on a b natural
Colloquially, what people call the 6th of a minor chord is the interval of a Major 6th from the chord's root. In D minor, the 6th is B natural. Dm6 is a minor triad with a Major 6th, D-F-A-B. A Dm with a minor 6th would be B-F-A-Bb and I think I've seen people notate it Dm(-6) or Dm(m6). A bit confusing, I know.

This guy understands Django more than Django understands himself.
I've been looking at minor swing for years-I have understood more in 20 minutes than all those years combined.This song has come to life for me now!
The best music lesson on the internet I have seen and I've seen a lot
Thanks for the kind comment, Todd!
You sir, have singlehandedly unlocked some of the mysteries behind Django’s playing. Thank you for that.

This is the best video in the history of videos of the galaxy.

You saved my life, I was looking for this lesson for years
Very helpful, I like the way you teach how he thought. I wish this kind of teaching was more prevalent on the Internet. You've done a wonderful thing. Thank you.
When he blats through that chromatic scale! Awesome.
Many thanks, from one guitar teacher to another. :)
Thank you so much for this video. Your are a great teacher, best Django tutorials on the internet.
Nobody explained it any better than you justt did! You are a true master of your trade! Your work is adorable and the musicality of yours is remarkable, you are exceptionally gifted!!
Congratulations! Your videos are the best, very clear and direct. Thank you!
fantastic lesson, thank you...
A great teacher.
Thank you Yaakov. You are a wonderful teacher. I really appreciate you. Maybe someday when I learn to play GJG like I wish I could jam with you.
Brilliant lesson - it's so important to understand how the licks relate to the notes of the chord's arpeggio - then you can use the lick whenever you see that chord...good stuff.
you have the most comprehensive explanations on gypsy on youtube. Excellent
The minor swing solo is so brilliant yet so simplistic, absolutely my favorite
I’m sold on the whole video just based on your intro talking about Django’s impeccable sound par excellence.
I appreciate your perspective!
Love this lesson , got so much from it 🙏🏽
Beautiful tips, toda 🌞
Wow, you are a great guitarist! That helped a lot.
God Bless you man, this is one motivation video and you explain it such way i just think Django would be proud.
great lesson, very helpful! thanks for posting!!
I really appreciate your efforts. Thank you 🙏

Simply, excellent!
Tyvm Yaakov!! U are an excellent teacher
When you say "summarize" I thought you said "Samurais", which still works, cause you're shredddddddddin!
That metaphor was as good as the lesson. Perfect.
It really helps to learn gypsy waltz
Another great lesson !!.... thank you
simply fantastic
Hey Yaakov, got it. Thanks to the other comments. It seems I was not the only one with the doubt. And thanks again for the lesson.
Abe
I can only say thank you very much great lesson
Very nice. He could work together with Martin Schmidt-Hahn and his brilliant clarinet- sound
Outstanding lesson as usual
Amazing
wao, the way you rocked that chromatic scale!
true ! Django was Django the one ! Hi Yaakov all the best !
Great stuff!
Thank you!
great video 👍
Thanks!
Amazing lesson! Thanks! :-)
Very good teacher 👍🏼
Thank you sir
I coincidentally got it these days. is all about wrapping the arpeggio notes around and avoiding going directly to them.
really good lesson

What does he mean when he says “the diminished”?

great teacher!
bravissimo!!!
Thanks so much for this!
Just great Yaakov, thanks for sharing👌
Tyvm why is the fret indicator on the tenth fret on gypsy style guitar instead of nineth fret,por que?
génial
Bravo Jacob, merci :-)
amazing video.. thanks
Brilliant.
Nice explanation
I notice on the gypsy style guitar , the fret markers are 1,3,5,7,10,12 . On my Gretsch Sierra , they are 1,3,5,7,9,12 . I am following along but I am using fingerings that seem to more naturally occur to me. It seems to be working.

Amazing video, what is your guitar model and manufacturer ? Thanks very much in advance. M.
In the dim lick, django uses a suspended 4th in the melody...
But how do you do it with two fingers?!?
Great lesson... I'm just wondering, why the first phrase starts with an up stroke? Probably there's an explanation which i don't know yet...
Thats because he doesnt start the solo on 1 but the "and" of 1... at think i think thats the reason. Youd have a down stroke if it was on 1.
Curious what pickup you have there on your bridge
Dude this is great, but your guitar dots are different to mine 🤣
merci !
Hi Yaakov. Why you say B is the sixth of Dm? It should be Bb. Now if I play the arpeggio, it coincides, is a B, but if I play the scale of Dm is a Bb. I'm asking you because this idea Django uses it many times.
Thanks,
Abe Cherem
It's beacuse he uses dorian mode, which has a major 6th (for Dm, B) instead of a minor 6th (which would be Bb)
Rafael Fernandes Django didn’t know modes. Completely intuitive
תותח יעקב🇮🇱👌
Class!!!!!!!
Hi Yaakov,
I would like to know, what kind of strings and plectrum would you recommend for a jazz guitar with D hole bigmouth?
which pickup do you use in the video?
In the first example, which is the first lick to minor swing, to me it sounds like Django starts off on b flat and very quickly pulls off to a a then G#
Is this correct? Because I notice you start on a b natural
Did Django only use the DGBE strings on hos solos and scales?
merci l'ami, very helpful :)
❤❤❤❤❤
Txs ...
Now I know this I’ll be famous by next week...
Are they nylon strings or steel?
What guitar and strings are you using?
i thought django used hungarian minor scale?
but I am sorry isn't the 6th of dminor a a#?
or bflat
Colloquially, what people call the 6th of a minor chord is the interval of a Major 6th from the chord's root. In D minor, the 6th is B natural. Dm6 is a minor triad with a Major 6th, D-F-A-B. A Dm with a minor 6th would be B-F-A-Bb and I think I've seen people notate it Dm(-6) or Dm(m6). A bit confusing, I know.
U r my Idol!
^__^
Can play you play easy nature boy
In Dm6 the 6th is a major 6th not a minor 6th. Sad but true.
John Rothfield it's a Dminor with a 6. thus Dm6.
Right. I used to get confused when i saw Dm6 because it made me think of a Dm with an Ab (m6 above the D). But the 6th is a major sixth
If it was it would be called a Dm#5. It's one of those theoretical oddities.
minor 6th interval from the lowest note if second inversion of minor 7 chord
The difference between a Dm6 and a Dmajor6 is the the 3rd not the 6th. What makes a chord minor? Flatten the 3rd.
again en again en again
Your clearly excellent BUT Play move talk less please. If you just played each phrase slow med then fast. You wouldn't have to say a word.
