Sven thank you so so much for your excellent content! My guitar is from zero to hero in a couple months after years of toil and confusion. Literally can't express my gratitude, my dude.
I'm so happy to have come across your channel Sven! These lessons are really excellent. I feel like you are just sitting in my living room showing me the chords directly. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I'm seeing that a huge part of the sound is also coming from the way you strum and mute the chords for the "chika chika boom" type thing. It's proving trickier than I thought but I will work on it :-)
Excelent!! Thanks for your lessons, as it gets more and more difficult to learn such nice style!... could you do a video on the rhythm itself.....the work of the right hand🤚 ? That would be great! Thanks again....and , what a nice Hofner!
Even as a very experienced guitarist (but a beginner in this style) some of these voicings are damn near impossible for me to play with my small fingers. Guess I just need to keep practising
This is great! Because it goes back to basics. It would be great if you went even further by giving an introduction into the genre and its distinguishing characteristics compared to other genres
Thank you so much for this great video! This is very useful information. I have always used my fingertips whenever possible to play chords and have really stayed away from the whole "barre" thing where you play multiple notes with one fingertip. I now see that if I want to get really good at gypsy jazz I need to start working on playing multiple notes with one finger! Sometimes I wonder if I am even capable of performing some of the chords you were playing because it feels so unbelievably uncomfortable and even sometimes hurts! I hope that this is something I can teach my fingers to do. Thanks again for the awesome video.
O that relationship between a 6minor-chord and a half diminished is a real eye opener. Sort of explains why all those half diminished runs sound so good in Gipsy Jazz
Hello, great video! I just wanted to ask what guitar are you playing, looks like an electric archtop but the sound is very acoustic so is it unplugged and directly through a microphone? Thanks in advance for your videos if you happen to notice this comment
Tricky chords... hard to finger a few strings with one finger. Besides that, absolutely awesome lesson. Next video should be ‘Common arpeggios for these types of chords in gypsy jazz music’
@Sven, 4:03 I think you meant to say A string instead of D string. Earlier you said E string for the first set of chords. I guess you said that because the root note is on the E string. Then at 4:03 you showed chords whose root note appear on the A string.
You're right James! I think Sven should reply to your comment, and correct it. To be exact, the voicing with the root on the A string is an A69 chord. He mentions the 9 though at 4:57.
Hi, It's a Höfner guitar from 1956. This one is a real acoustic guitar. It was originally designed as a full acoustic guitar. I have an du Armand pickup it, that makes it sound very charming over a tube Amps. It is my choice for bar gigs, because with the Amp it sounds old-school but compared to the acoustic sound, it pushed a lot and can easily be heard if the location is "louder" Warm regards, Sven
Hi Sven...I've played many different genres through the years, and after I finally found a lefthanded gypsy jazz guitar I started getting into Gypsy Jazz. Your videos have helped me a lot and I wanted to thank you. One more thing....What is the Hofner model you are playing called. That is a beautiful guitar and I don't think they made a lefthanded one :(
Hey great lesson. Can you please answer, just in short, how you learnt all the chords? I mean did you actually practice technique or just played songs? I am not asking to "get it done tomorrow" but I just wonder because the smoothness and clarity when you switch chords looks like it's just where it's supposed to be. :) Thank you, Kuba
i studied jazz guitar in the Netherlands. I play gypsy swing since 2009 I think and play rhythm guitar for Joscho Stephan. the knowledge comes over the years by playing a lot and practising a lot. practising improvisation gives you through the years a detailed overview of the fretboard. when I'm improvising for example I always know which note I'm playing and which sound and function it serves. but it's also lots of licks and phrases that you should learn. the chords are the fundamental thing on the guitar, cause it's a comping instrument. rhythm guitar playing should always be learned first and very seriously, cause it happens all the time. by really digging into certain styles you get to know all chords, the way of rhythm playing and soloing. it simply takes some years. always keep in mind, that theory doesn't really exist, it's only the explanation of the music that already exists. but take whatever help you can get. and if you choose a particular style, then go for it. I learned more from other players than from books, but liked books as well ;)

our hero!
The Django legacy is perpetuated by this quality stuff. That almost inimitable maestro would have been proud of you and Joscho.
Sven Jungbeck is definitely one of the best teachers on RUclips for beginners wanting to get into this genre. Really great stuff; keep it up!
amazing! super clear and practical, no complication needed to just be able to play the standards

At about 2:30 my brain exploded. I needed that chord placement in my life. Thank you for this, for all of these.
this is good. i always wanted descriptions of musical genres based on their characteristic notes, chords, etc!
Sven... you and your band are amazing. Thanks for these lessons too. Like learning from a friend. Good things to you
Man I literally love you! Thanks for sharing!!!
This lesson is a gem! 👌
Awesome tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for! Now I'll start implementing them in my playing :).
You have a gift for instruction. Very valuable teaching. Thank you!
Amazing video Sven, wish that was uploaded when i first started with gypsy jazz! It is really something great to start with!
As already mentioned Sven, Excellent tutorial and explanations... a big fan!
Sven thank you so so much for your excellent content! My guitar is from zero to hero in a couple months after years of toil and confusion. Literally can't express my gratitude, my dude.
Wonderful lesson. Thank you very much. Learned a lot!!
Thanks Sven, as always, its a bit much to digest but thats why I replay it a couple hundred times... You sure make it look so easy. :-)
Sven another excellent lesson. This helped clarify the theory and voicings so much. Thanks
Thank you for another great lesson!
Thanks Sven, as always really helpful. Keep them coming 👍
You play and teach superbly. I see that your ear is your guide - all the greats improv with their eyes closed.

I love your style
Absolutely fantastic video, thank you

Great lesson! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for posting this. Very helpful
Thank you Sven.. So inspiring
thanks so much, very appreciated, good job!
Excellent, very clear instruction, thanks!

very welcome
Thank you very much! Very good to understand. So, may be I try to make my first step towards gypsy sound.
Thank you again!
"Gypsy Jazz avoids the 7th". you just said it all. This is all the guts of that kind og music. This single rule gives it its whole taste
Grazie mille Maestro!
Thanks, really helpful and well explained.
Very useful,thanks for your lesson
nice lesson thank you & keep up the good work
nice and easy to follow. Thanks!

just go for it. remember when u just started, g major seemed difficult, right? it's the same thing ;)

Hi. It is a fabulous class. Thank you
thank you!
Super vidéo !
very cool！
Hello, great video! I just wanted to ask what guitar are you playing, looks like an electric archtop but the sound is very acoustic so is it unplugged and directly through a microphone? Thanks in advance for your videos if you happen to notice this comment
Hey great vid! I was wondering, what type of guitar is that?
Thanks for your video, could you please tell me what brand and model is your guitar?
Thank you, very helpfull. And I've got absolutely the same guitar (among the others) - that is Hofner 456-s if I'm not mistaken. Built in 1961.
What guitar are you playing? Sounds nice
Waiting for your DVD
danke!!! hammer!!! genial!!!
grand merci
Very helpful video. I was always playing it wrong
Tricky chords... hard to finger a few strings with one finger. Besides that, absolutely awesome lesson.
Next video should be ‘Common arpeggios for these types of chords in gypsy jazz music’
Common arpeggios should be the notes of the chords.
Very good video. But can you say where you got the nice hat hat from?
Nicely done! I just subscribed.
Thanks, sir 😁
A6(9) as a variant of A6 (at 3:42)

New subscriber....looking forward to digging in. What guitar are you playing??? It sounds great.
This is a 1956 Höfner guitar.

superduper!

Hofner 456 Acoustic Jazz guitar 1961 Sunburst
I'm the 2020th like! Proud :D
Sven, could you please post a lesson showing the chords for Dream of you(Stochelo's version)? Many thanks
ok why not! ;)
Thanks Sven very very helpful, and what kind of arch top is that, sounds nice and tight....g
it's a Hőfner guitar from 1956.
german Brand which is no longer produced. I was quite lucky. the instrument is in top condition, nearly untouched.
Great vid! Is that a Framus guitar you're playing? Nice sound.
Hi,
It's a Höfner guitar!
Hofner? gorgeous
Klasse Lektion! Kannst du mir noch sagen, welches Gitarrenmodell bzw. welche Saiten du spielst? Danke Georg
Hi,
Das ist eine 1956er Höfner Schlaggitarre
Sven.. what would you say is the BEST django-style guitar for a grand or less? Thank you
Does your Höfner have a plastic bridge? Do you like it?
Klasse. Schöne alte Höfner.
Hey great lesson. Can you please answer, just in short, how you learnt all the chords? I mean did you actually practice technique or just played songs?

Ah thanks! That's a very nice sentence there "theory doesn't really exist, it's only the explanation of the music that already exists".
Wow, I think it is understandable.
Great video :)
But I have a question. Is that aluminum foil just for aesthetics, od does it have a use for percussion?
I only looks like aluminum 😃 it's perlmutt.
very useful. I thing gypsy jazz theory is very important to understand how it works. :D thanks
genial!
Do you have charts for those chords?
이 영상을 보고 집시재즈가 일반적인 재즈와 코드 느낌이 다른 이유를 알게되었습니다!
Great lesson but bit confusing. The E on the A which is the. 5th in A played on the low E etc. ..
Can anybody tell me what type and gauge of strings Sven might be using on his guitar in this video?
Thanks
Hey Sven please do finger charts for all of these chords please
Sven, which guitar would you recommended me? Around 1000€? I know about Saga Gitane D-500 (D-hole), but oval hole around 1000€?
hard to say, there also good guitars by altamira and Maurice Dupont that are available for that price. my o hole Gitane is available for 1000 Euro!
damn, its really difficult to play 2 notes with one finger, its just pratice or the neck size or the thumb matters? im really stuck at this chords
