    There are videos on RUclips teaching arpeggios and their use that exceed 30+ minuets with varying levels of quality and confusion. Some of them are great but Dude your 4 minuet video just taught me more useful information on arpeggios then any of the latter ever have.
    Brilliant!

    My brother…so good to hear/watch you describe what i call the F-A-D system, not the C-A-G-E-D system. The former has half the complexity of the latter. There are only 3 inversions of each major chord, and consequently 3 versions of the corresponding minor chord, as opposed to the C-A-G-E-D idea. Eliminating complexity at the outset eliminates an exponential cascade of complexity.

      ⁠@@paullennon8586I got the method from a masterclass with Stephane Wrembel before one of his concerts, his book “Getting into Gypsy Jazz” and his video on DC-Music. I love the musicality, simplicity and practicality of the method. You just learn six triad chord forms (three minor and three major). And it’s so easy to add a 7th, 6th, 9th, etc. to them. You make beautiful music right from the start and don’t have to spend a lot of time memorizing multiple forms all over the neck. And it is so much fun! Note: Stephane does not refer to his method as FAD. Have fun!

      I ve been using that myself ever since learning major/minor triads on top four strings.
      It's basically GEC shapes from CAGED, leaving out A and D shapes and leaving out two bottom strings. Nothing new but very useful.
      Instead of 5 patterns over 6 strings you use 3 patterns over 4 strings.

    Also, this IS a great lesson in the fundamentals. With consistent application you can definitely negotiate 'Minor Swing', for example. It aids in fretboard 'visualization' and memorization. Chromaticism is best approached with some caution, but allow me to suggest the 'Gypsy minor' scale in A minor. A-BC-DD#EF-G#A. Try it, you'll like it!

    Where did u come from! Very interesting and different video. Instant sub and that's rare for me. Keep em coming. Longer videos keep diving into chord voicings and gypsy jazz! Beautiful axe! My only suggestion is I can follow u cause I've been playing 30+ yrs. A beginner is not going to understand the why of what you're doing, though it's simple, it's not necessarily intuitive. Also flat picking gypsy jazz, very unique style. Using a pick at all but certainly more of a bluegrass style picker

    This approach reminds me of Joe Pass who said something like, "Always have a chord shape under your fingers when you're improvising." In the end, it really just means being aware of Western tonal music and its relation to the neck of the guitar.
    I really enjoyed watching this lesson, Stéphane Wrembel got a beautiful thing going on.
