This may be the best explanation and breakdown of La Pompe that I've seen...both in the strumming technique and explaining the left hand chord muting. Thank you!
Trying my best to elevate my playing and your video's, amongst the many others who freely give their time to help us in this genre, are simply a godsend. Thank you so much for all that you do.
A really helpful video, Sven. I've played guitar for many years, but I'm a newcomer to Gypsy Jazz. Upon first hearing Django, I thought that the rhythm sounded straight-forward, but after having attempted it for the first time, I realised how deceptively simple the swing rhythm really is. Thanks very much for this tutorial. I'm looking forward to seeing the Joscho Stephan concert in Vilnius next week.
excellent tutorial. what's the name of the acoustic archtop you're playing. What do you think of the Seagull 5th avenue archtop for playing gypsy jazz?
Does anyone see what Sven is actually doing in that cool, fast I-VI-II-V-I progression in the intro demo (C6 (8th) - A7 - Dm7 - Db7+9 - C6 (3rd)). It is the fingering around the A7 chord I can't figure out.
Sven I wish you had something to buy so I could show my appreciation for all of your incredible work and sharing. Do you have a book or patreon page so we could show our support? Cheers
Hey Sven!! I love your videos and have subscribed. What is the name of the song you are playing? I apologize for asking but can’t quite understand what you’re saying when you name it. Your accent is nice. I enjoy it!! But... it’s making it difficult for me to understand that one thing. Everything else you talk about us quite clear and your English is absolutely intelligible. I have been looking for another good, beginner tune to learn and teach my younger students. I think this one may be the one!! I’d love to know what the name of the tune is. Thanks again for posting all that you do. Your videos are my favorite educational videos for Gypsy Jazz especially since I am a beginner at this style (I have been playing guitar for 30 years) and exploring the rhythm guitar is so important. I get most of the melodic content I learn from transcribing solos. I transcribe the chords as well. But as you know, there are many interpretations. I ALWAYS check in with your videos to see how you suggest to play chords. Thanks!!
Excellent explanation for a beginner, thanks very much. Also enjoy hearing the variations in rhythm. Also, how essential is a plectrum? I have a classical guitar which I play with fingernails. Is that going to ruin my tone? I've heard rumours of old school guitarists using ivory and wooden picks for the high attack Also, do the strings being high or low tension make a big difference when it comes to gypsy jazz?
Hi, playing with plectrum is the common way! still it is possible to get along without it, joscho stephan's father plays 1st league gj using his thumb! Greetings Sven
@@3orangeDots This looks like a 1960s Hofner Archtop 455 Model. Also check out the Wegen's Guitar Picks, the Gypsyjazzpick or the Bigcity pick. Not sure if this what is used here but they're pretty good. ;)
Hi, I'm playing with several bands right now, the joscho stephan trio and quartett and "jj and the acoustic machine". with the trio we just recorded a new album on vinyl, which will be released this autumn, I think. to JJ and the acoustic machine you can listen on Spotify. and then I play with different projects whenever they call me. Gigs are actually my main income! Greetings, Sven.
It's a pretty good one, back then I didn't use a mic, so the sound is not good. It's a Höfner 1956, full acoustic guitar. good for swing music, actually.
This may be the best explanation and breakdown of La Pompe that I've seen...both in the strumming technique and explaining the left hand chord muting. Thank you!
You are helping me so much to progress man ! THANKS
Sven, I could listen to you for hours... that little progression has potential.
Thanks for all the help Sven, after your lessons so far, I really feel like I’m starting to make some progress with gypsy chords and playing rhythm.
Trying my best to elevate my playing and your video's, amongst the many others who freely give their time to help us in this genre, are simply a godsend. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Hi thank you Sven for a brilliant and clear explanation of the rhytmn and for the great exercise ideas. I will great practising.
Brilliant and useful, as ever - thanks a lot.
Hi Thanks for all your great videos I have learned so much from you .
Ben
It is very helpful to hear the chords played so clearly
Super👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dude, I ever thought I need to play the bass serperated. Thanks so much! Extreme helpful, Sven (c:
I love the huge inlays on the guitar. I never played a guitar like that. It seems to make sense to block the fingerboard like that.
not only does this guy give fantastic guitar lessons but he also looks like a french gypsy virtuoso!
Very well explained and marvellous groove. Martin Schmidt-Hahn s perfect clarinet-sound could fit as well to this kind of music
love your lessons man
Thank you! You're a great teacher.
Yes! I finally got it! You showed it so well le pompe came easily. Now i need to keep playing along so i dont loose it! Thank you so much 👍👍🙏
Hey that’s great! 👍👍👍 you’re very welcome!
Thanks for a great tutorial. It's impressive how much can be done with those small variations around the beat. Not htat esay to accomplish though.
This is awesome man love your videos. Would love to check out some of the bands you listen to can you give a link to them?
Beautiful guitar.
Great lesson, thanks!

Ah 🆗 muchas gracias, tenía esa duda
Great video - thanks for the helpful explanation - I have subscribed!

Cool guitar
Good video! Vielen Dank! And yes I admit that I made the listening mistake. Will need to try out the technique.
Oh sheit!
This is new to me and very frickin cool .
You got skills !
A reason to buy another guitar .
there should be always enough reasons for new guitars 😂😂😂
Cool man!
Very good 🤘👍
Thanks.
👌 thanks
that's a sick guitar

bin kompletter gypsy noob und verstehe alles sooooooooo viel besser jetzt ! Danke! Mehrmehrmehr!
Thank you for a great gypsy jazz rhythm lesson. Your guitar is stunning. What is the model?
I think it might be a höfner 457 or something like that
Thank you! One question? Is the 1st stroke the muted strings or the chord? I can t tell.
Sven I wish you had something to buy so I could show my appreciation for all of your incredible work and sharing. Do you have a book or patreon page so we could show our support? Cheers
hey, that's very kind of you.
a book is in the making, and in the
meantime I have 2 Cds on Amazon ;))
warm regards,
Sven

Hey,
Thanks for all that!
The name of the song is Duke and Dukies.
By Django Reinhardt
@@SvenJungbeck Thank you!!
Excellent explanation for a beginner, thanks very much. Also enjoy hearing the variations in rhythm. Also, how essential is a plectrum? I have a classical guitar which I play with fingernails. Is that going to ruin my tone? I've heard rumours of old school guitarists using ivory and wooden picks for the high attack Also, do the strings being high or low tension make a big difference when it comes to gypsy jazz?
p.s your rhythm variations always make me laugh; something about gypsy jazz is just so hysterically funny to me, I love it
Some guys used nickels. Seen gypsy done with thumb once but nearly always with a pick
Check out Snoozer Quinn on TH-cam, he played rhythm for big bands and didn't use a pick.
Hi,

Greetings
Sven
Sven Jungbeck that's probably who i saw doing it haha
jo Sven! Is a hofner 450 model?
Thanks for the lesson ! Was really helpful. What's that guitar though ?
Höfner!
What are the scales to play gypsy jazz?
Standard tuning?
2:30
Hola Sven, gracias por la información, una pregunta, en la pompe que va primero, el acorde y luego el mute, o al revés??
si yo entiendo correctamente, el acuerdo primero y luego el mute. 1,3 - acuerdo mas lento, 2,4 mute mas corto y fuerte
Which guitar brand/model is this? thanks
yes I'm wondering the same thing and the type of pick thickness. cheers
@@3orangeDots This looks like a 1960s Hofner Archtop 455 Model. Also check out the Wegen's Guitar Picks, the Gypsyjazzpick or the Bigcity pick. Not sure if this what is used here but they're pretty good. ;)
Inner Resting thanks. It looks like it’s in perfect shape for this fast rhythm playing. Cheers
Do you still play with the band?
Hi, I'm playing with several bands right now, the joscho stephan trio and quartett and "jj and the acoustic machine".
with the trio we just recorded a new album on vinyl, which will be released this autumn, I think.
to JJ and the acoustic machine you can listen on Spotify. and then I play with different projects whenever they call me. Gigs are actually my main income!
Greetings, Sven.
Can someone tell me what song he is playing? I couldn't understand what he said. Sorry.
Duke and Dukies
@@SvenJungbeck thanks.
Cool, kann ich später auf der Bühne anwenden!
😂
are you playing in two our four

Are you muting the low e string what's goin on there
Hi, muting is the key here, it's hard to explain in a sentence or two.
Here is another video on the same topic:

Also it is really helpful to book an online lesson with me via Skype to master these grooves. Contact me on

Nice show. However I'm glad I don't have that guitar.
It's a pretty good one, back then I didn't use a mic, so the sound is not good. It's a Höfner 1956, full acoustic guitar. good for swing music, actually.
what's the point of wearing a hat indoors? just curious..
Don't you do that in your country? In Germany it's pretty common.
Thanks!
Thanks
