Robin, you sir are the Pied Piper of Gypsy Jazz guitar. You have helped a lot of people get into this wonderful music. Keep it going my brother....
ahhh kind words mate I'll be sure to keep it going ;-) Robin

Nice one man stay inspired! Robin
Hi Robin ! from France. Normandy. Rouen, more precisely. Thanks for you vids, it helps having a very interesting point of view of playing, and call as much inspiration as possible. Is'nt it the most important thing to feel and give, to feel joy when you play ?
Absolutely Chris stay inspired! 🙏🎸🙌

Welcome Justin! Robin
I'm confused about the dominant E7 section. I know I could play an E mixolydian over that, or base a lick around the E7 arpeggio, but why does the Am harmonic scale work? there's a flat 2nd (the F) which feels like it oughtn't to belong, but to our ears it does! Why? Robin has previously said you can play diminished licks over dominant 7s, which would incorporate the F in this instance, though I believe that diminished only works over a dominant 7 when it's a functioning dominant 5 (like in Minor Swing), which it isn't in this case. So I just don;'t get why the F works (and, by extension, why Robin has picked the Am harmonic over the E in this song). Can anyone help me with the theory, here? Please?
andyguitarman thanks for the comment - I use the A minor harmonic because it is very simple and we all know this scale, the way it sounds and where to play it. There are many scales you could play over E7 like you mention mixokydian mode etc but to be honest that gets confusing. Yes the F natural E G# instantly create that Arabic middle eastern sound when played over E7. It suits this music and when the E7 resolves to A minor works perfectly.
Gypsy Jazz Secrets A reply from the man himself! Thanks! And keep up the good work; you’re a pleasure to learn from. The Am harmonic scale sounds great here, I agree, I’m just trying to understand why it works so well. I suppose that, because the Em want to resolve to Am, which is the relative minor of the I chord, that makes the E7 a sort or functioning dominant chord? In any event, I’ve been having fun exploring this new sound. Cheers.
andyguitarman yes it is the dominant chord for Am but the scale played over E7 works in any situation if you want that middle eastern sound. Have fun and let me know if you need any help! Cheers, Robin
for me to remember (listen to the rhythm) 7:40 19:20 21:08
Dig it man! Robin
I feel I have a decent amount of knowledge. Just engaging the mind is the problem. Simplify…. Even on any song. Rock for example. Bounce. We need to talk! Lol
Hi Robin - from NYC
I’m actually learning “All of Me” now and this was super helpful: especially the tip to play the A minor scale with the major 7th - makes so much sense, since the G# is the major 3rd in the E major chord and E7th chord. Love the “Bouncy” method too, very simple and effective.
Glad it’s helping Martin! Robin
Hi there! I don't know much about music theory and I have to ask - why does the fact that G# is the major third in the E7 chord justify the use of the A minor scale over that chord?
thanks!
Well Robin, if you really like to know: I am in Voorburg. F$%king Voorburg. So thanks for the videos, they keep me busy here when there is little else to do in the vicinity. All the best!

Welcome Richard, learning Gypsy Jazz guitar?
unbelievably good info, lots to work on, I especially like the 3rd method of bouncing and flow . I'll be trying it when it flows from me. thank-you so much for your excellent lessons!
Phil Volckhausen really glad the Lesson helps Phil and yes bouncing can open things up nicely! Robin
you have some crazy plectrum skills! Would you say it's part of the Gypsy Jazz technique/Sound?
ElectricMoose I have an unorthodox picking technique! Django and the majority of Gypsy jazz players use what's known as 'Gypsy Picking' which uses rest strokes... basically slot of down strokes.
Weer een mooie les! Bedankt Robin! I've always really enjoyed what you describe as the 'bouncing' concept. It resonates (hah) much better with me than scalar obsessions do. As an exercise, I like to purposefully 'hang' on one or two notes for a while, until I'm really craving the sound of a specific note to be added. Only at that point, I'll add it to the mix. Doing this forces me to listen carefully to the sounds, and internalize them that way. Best results achieved at night in a dark room, cutting out visual stimuli. I find it quite exciting to discover how the notes respond to one another after I introduce them.
Jos v.d. Weele welcome Jos! Robi.
This is very useful for those who have never really gotten the hang of improvising. However, I would love to hear your approach to two other aspects of the music. #1-- GJ music has a characteristic sound that differentiates it from other jazz. It would be great to hear how you approach production of that sound. I suspect that in addition to the flurry of notes one often hears there are other more approachable techniques (for the average player) such as string bending, vibrato, slides and tremolo to mention a few. #2-- In any improvisation I feel that one needs to follow the chord pattern but it is most interesting to keep the original melody and its harmonies in mind as one works out their solo. If that is not done, the solos all start to sound alike. I know that you follow this principal but it would be great to hear how you conceive or think about this process. Thanks for all the videos. You are really doing a great job of sharing this music with others.
At last someone who explains 'real life' approach to Gypsy Jazz' I normally play Blues but exploring new sounds cheers from UK
Yes David for the people! Stay Inspired I’m here to help 💕🙏🎸
The chords shapes of C and E7 that I have from Swing 42 is different from what I see on this Video, could you pls show the shape or diagram pls, thanks😊

There's a rather aggressive looking money over your shoulder,what's his problem? Doesn't he like jazz?

Robin listening to you at 26 min repeating sometingi hear you often say. When i heard you a couple of times way back in Barna i had zero idea how much music theory you had or had not immersed in ---- i just knew that this was truly great music on all levels i too wanted to excel on --- just for the sheer pleasure. I always had a serious prob with maths and music theory so what you say has been a great relief --- that learning does not have to be a brain-sweat, but more about ear, heart, imagination and tuned-in perception. Truly great vids --- and free --- one could feel a terrible thief!
Dr. Be I’m so glad the videos help you! What you say is right... ear, heart & imagination are critical to making meaningful music! 🎸❤️Robin

NO NO ROBIN IT'S BEEN TRAGEDY!
...and it all started out so well.
I just wrote a whole song with lyrical flow about my thanks for you, love to your people, and the rhymes went rolling off Oakland up The Sunset Coast Beaches to The Redwood Empire Mountains of Sonoma and Mendo (leaving Humbolt Smoke for next time cuz we driving ...drivin our guitars anyway😉 and I gotta focus🤨LOL) and it ended up with the best rhymes anybody ever put down ....at least, the best hip-hop that's about gypsy guitars and Napa wines written by a thirty-eleven year old white dude like me who can't spit a rap to save his life. Also it was in 3/4, which I happen to know personally is not something Oakland hip hop fans appreciate 😂. BUT, I wrote it here in the comments directly; didn't want to put down the guitar. Spent an hour. Then I got some Google alert message on the phone (with Do Not Disturb on no less) and TH-cam fucking erased it all forever😣. Before I could post the "comment". Im crushed and angry and I'll have to come back to this lesson later lest I smash my idiot phone to bits😆
Anyway live to you and best livin to you and your people, whoever, and wherever y'all may be!
Rallo's Dad don’t sweat it dude keep on swinging and don’t look back, Robin 🎸❤️
@@GypsyJazzSecrets Thank you for the good word Senpai, but you can know I was already coolin it. I had just amused myself at the thought of coming across a little impromptu hiccup of a rhyme about Northern California which skips along to a gypsy jazz tune and I was disappointed you'd miss it, even if it was objectively just not any good at all😆 hey lol I don't sing, rap, or write so yeah it was garbage buy it's the "thought" that ...was always a pretty bad idea anyway🤣
From the Idaho pan-handle 2fishes says, old guy, new tourist joins the cyberwave... pulled you from random to add "gypsy jazz" to my repertoire. Your instructions work for me! During brief research into music's origin, your name is included with "best" instruction! I'm impressed, very fortunate to find ya

thank you brother.
adukill you're welcome mate 🤘❤️🎸
Love this man. Thanks for breaking things down and offering some great tools for the pocket. As a new player to GJ, I like the idea of breaking things down chord by chord vs losing those chord changes in a flurry of notes as you say. I think that makes for more memorable melody and style. Cheers from BC, Canada.
Glad it helps Mike stay inspired! 🤘❤️🎸Robin
Your lessons are so great!! One request: for teaching licks can you call out the intervals [you can still call out the frets] but knowing the intervals gives us a deeper understanding to what's happening under the hood. Thanks!
J Larranaga yes good idea mate will remember to do that! 🙏🎸Robin

Welcome Lex! Robin
I'm not nitpicking or trying to find fault - just trying to play what you intended but I'm questioning one of the licks you played for the C and E7 chords. The lick you played for E7 - beginning on the 'a' note on the 14th fret of the 'g' string followed by a 'g' sliding to an 'ab' then a 'b' etc When you put the two licks together and came to the E7 part the first note you played was a 'g' sliding to an 'ab' then a 'b' . I find both of these work but which do you feel is correct or is this just subject to individual interpretation? I am a British rock guitar player of some experience and want to try my hand (no pun intended) at some jazz tunes.
jack freeman yes you are right I often slide up to that Ab (G#) from the G and to be honest when it’s played at a realistic tempo you hardly hear those bites... thanks for the question and have fun with this music Jack!
@@GypsyJazzSecrets Thanks for the confirmation. I also find it difficult just to use 2 fingers but I ain't no Django Reinhardt :)
