Great stuff Christians! For the last few months, I’ve studied your videos as well as Yaakov and Robin’s. It makes for a really accessible, comprehensive package which demistifys this wonderful music. You’ve even got me thinking about theory which after 35 years of playing is no mean feet 😅 Micah 🏴
Watching this video, and practicing these patterns for a week, might have been the moment I "turned the corner." Thanks for this and other lessons. My playing is starting to "...sound like gypsy jazz!"
I really enjoyed this lesson, can you make one with other shapes, i mean with a 7 chord root on the A string for example. This would unable me to connect the entire fretboard.
I know this is an old video, but it's a great video - Christiaan, do you have another video with specifically "non-altered" shapes in the other positions of your system? In this one you mentioned that you would make a video for positions 3, 5, 7. Perhaps you have covered it somewhere and I just can't find it. Anyway, thank your for all the great materials!
I couldnt do this one 2 yrs ago. today, got it down in 10 minutes. feels awesome!! practicing those phrases do a helluva difference. ive been toggleing back on the lessons i skipped where I thought I had no chance in hell. some took 2 weeks to accomplish that were as short as this episode. before learning about Django-style, i was playing tidbits of alternative rock and mary had a little lamb twinkle little star kinda stuff that was easy to learn by ear. For sure Jazz was no man's land for me when it came to that. That was the limit of my note vocabulary when i would jam out with others who had a drumset or a guitar for the first time and were attempting to learn an instrument too. no joke Christiaan. To me, its as gratifying or more as passing a video game stage. Some more difficult than others or longer time to accomplish. But no one in the real world gives a shit about someone's high score or Kill Ratio. I gave up playing video games because of Gypsy guitar and ended up giving my Playstation away to my nephew. I'm 45 yrs old, by the way. I used to love to play all different versions of Battlefield on Playstation for 4 yrs. Probably more than you love your Assassin's Creed and Zelda. I would rush home after work just to play. Same as these days, I itch to get home and ace an episode. After killing "Dark Eyes"and "Minor Swing", your lessons now seem possible. That's why I'm skimming back to these old episodes/levels I skipped. --and People give a shit when they hear someone "shredding it" on the guitar. didn't mean to write you a novel, but I just had to get this off my chest. BIG UP bro!! (hip hop term for -thank you)
@@ChristiaanvanHemert man thanks for responding. Was starting to think that the million word report made you cautious and weary. I don't consider myself a great fan of yours, but your greatest disciple. ...of the Van Hemert Guitar Clan! Haha Even though I still kinda suk on the guitar. One day I hope to send you a recording to make you proud of me and the fruits of your labor. My Sifu, like Master Bruce.
This video is perfect timing for me, I am working on transcribing or figuring out what the hell Bireli's doing in his live version of All of Me when he was 14! He is expressionless, it is like God is playing through that kid - or Django's spirit. Amazing,, Anyway the part I am struggling with the most when creating my own solos is simply playing over the C, the first chord, and have it sound Gypsy and not modern jazz or blusey which is where my hand wants to go. So now I have it, thanks to you. A simple C dom arpeggio down, C diminshed up, Gmin6 arpeggio back down, different fingering back up... voilà, that sounds basically exactly like what Bireli was doing there. So thanks so much as always.
Do you think that something is lost in fingering the minor 6 arpeggio with the top note starting on the second finger and not shifting at all? Feels more natural to me - and less complicated
It's a "Stringphonic Chorus". I got mine from Tommy Davy (djangoguitars.com). Tommy does the best set-up jobs on guitars you purchase from him in the business! Here's a link to my instagram: instagram.com/christiaanvanhemertmusician/

Thanks so much Ted, glad it helped you!
Christiaan you are Maigc! thanks alot for teaching and sharing!
wishes of sweet sun beams to you.
Haha, thanks adukill!
Once again super usful ! Merci Maestro (y)
You're welcome Sébastien!
Christiaan, great lesson. Do you have a similar one for Dorian and/or Harmonic minor?
This was great! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!

wow great video thanks!
Thanks!
When you add the diminished shape over C7 you will get C7b9 - it's altered.
Could also be octatonic. Without the 13 or b13 there's no way of telling!
2:33
hey sorry for the picky question, isn't this a c13? Because you are fretting the 6th degree on the b-string? thanks
super lesson btw
In jazz we tend to just say "C7" and then the performer can choose his own alterations/extensions based on his/her taste and the context!

That's a really cool guitar. Where can I shop for it? Also, can you post a link for your IG? Thanks.
