I'm more than glad to see a lot of young guitarists picking up on the Gypsy guitar of Django and running with it. This video of Joscho Stephan is a display of pure talent, heart, and soul. No amps, no engineer on a mixing board, no studio. Human beings can do amazing things!
Masterful playing by one of the very best modern day exponents of the Django Reinhardt Gypsy Jazz style. Expressive, articulate and complex technique delivered with matter of fact ease and humor.
I disagree, while he has the technique, i find his rhythmic and melodic ideas to be pretty boring and his feel does not deliver a sense of spontaneous inspiration at all. Listen to Django's phrasing and use of space...its just not here at all. Like I said, Joscho's technique is good, but still boring comparatively to the greats. As far as modern players go I prefer Bireli, at least he has soul.
jalofnotrade I see where you're coming from. JS is extremely talented and he is a technical monster with a penchant for delivering flashy "licks" so to speak. I personally prefer guitarists--gypsy jazz or not--who incorporate longer melodic lines with creative phrasings, which is trait that seems to get lost in JS' playing. My favorite gypsy jazz guitarists are Angelo DeBarre and Paulus Schafer. Listen to these creative and off the chart, beautiful melodic lines: watch?v=uq0ZWuCOnGI
jalofnotrade Sometimes he may seem all flash, but I think you need to listen again. Or closer. Or maybe you can't hear it. He is very melodic. There are all kinds of moving internal lines and target notes. Much like a bop player, actually, using gypsy and shred vocabulary. I think you may mean "lyrical" lines as opposed to melodic. That I could agree with, not many long singable lines. But, he is very melodic, much like Bach Inventions.
Joscho doesn't just have " good" technique. I'd say "impeccable" is a more like it, which is an unusual aproach to this genre. Almost like John Malkovich becoming a puppeteer in the eponymous movie, is as if John Petrucci were to quit Dream Theater to go live in a caravan or something, lol! I know it's a little off -putting to some, but personally, I really like his playing, and I think he is a shot in the arm for the genre. He is German, after all, right? His ideas might take longer to build, but the end result is quite unique. Like him or not, you always know it's Joscho. Bireli notwithstanding, it's harder to tell with some of the other guys. Don't get me wrong, I love Angelo, Tchavolo, et al. but you really have to be an avid listener to hear the difference sometimes. Not with this guy. From the first Teutonicly perfect phrase, you know it's him..
I have seen Joscho play 4-5 times and I am blown away each time. Once at Caas, some gentleman setting beside me that was from France said This is just amazing, like a great religious experience..
Since you're a metal guy you should include how most of them are all about shredding and nonsense or else you're just showing bias against blues rock. with that said, you probably dont listen to much blues rock then if u think no player can keep it interesting. Blues/rock are mostly jams and improvisation so idk what you're talking about
I saw Joscho exactly one decade earlier than this at CAAS. He was otherworldly- and the only artist at the show finale that got THREE standing O's and encores. My brain just exploded after listening to him...
The ascending series of sweep-picked licks starting at 0:55 tell me that I am dead, and have been transported to another universe where normal guitar skills do not apply.
Joscho? For me the best Gipsyjazz- Gitaplayer I've ever heard (of course, Django himself will always be the master). Why? Because Joscho has an astonishing accurate technique, unusual, very creative Ideas in his licks, and I think the most powerful and dynamik expression. Greetings from Germany :-)

Joscho has that rare balance of mind blowing technique and musicality
The technique is there for sure.
@@dariusscheider311 Do I sense a teensy shred of jealousy there?
@@Wearldsproake lol
Dont forget humor by adding thing like the pink panther theme to his solos
@@Wearldsproake i know im jelly
The most frustrating part of my day is clicking on a Joscho video thinking "hope I can steal a lick from this". Ha, not today!
Seriously, it's like if Django came back to life with all of his fingers.
Django played music on his guitar, Joscho just plays guitar. He is a fantastic player.
Absolument pas le même style de jeu
He might not play as good with a full hand.
@@erichnussbaum Oh. Ok

Are you suggesting amps, engineers, mixing boards and studios are an impediment to heart and soul?
@@DaveDexterMusic Yes, when you can do more with less, this is the result.
It’s got to be a Great Feeling to be as good as he is at such a young age. It’s a Pleasure to just watch such talent - and he’s not a Show-Off…
Man, I've seen and heard some fantastic guitar players on You tube but this guy takes first prize.
Joscho is one of the monsters of guitar that hasn’t forgotten that highly technical music still has to be fun!
Joscho is one of the greatest masters of all time
Joscho is masterful. One of the best I've ever heard.
after you''ve gone and left me cryin' ,after you've gone there's no denyin' ,yep ,at 93 ,I'm keepin' up ! Lol Super performance !
Some guys are so good they're inspiring. Some guys are so good they make you want to quit.

Ok ive watched 10 times a day every since i first discovered it. This guy is incredible!
As in everything he does, simply fantastic
The spirit of Django still lives in this cat. Hotttt!

This is the first time I've seen this guitarist and seen him. He's incredible to listen to-just amazing -and lots of fun to watch too. Don't miss him.
When the applause is twice the volume of the music. RIP my ears.
MY fingers hurt just watching yours .... that is some incredible playing - Bravo 👏
This playing is sensational, I could watch it all day!
0:08 seconds into Joscho and chill and he gives you this look.
"Joscho and chill" lmao
what a master. Finesse in each phrasing and lots of humor too. Great stuff.
I love this guy and the interpretation is beautifully happiness stuff!!!
I have no other word than incredible!
Insane! Absolutely mesmerizing!! Every note - to the end!
You are so much fun to watch! You make it look so easy. Thanks, for the inspiration!!
Absolutely amazing and flawless! This is the first time I have ever seen this man play, but I guarantee it won’t be my last.
This deserves a lot more views. Most amazing guitar video i ever saw. Love the smile in his face at the end. Like it's nothing special.
Maestro joscho gracias por regalarnos esta hermosa musica ..
Maaan, one of the best things that i ever seen, just briliant!
Thank you! Made my day! Helped to dust off the optimism! Keep turning music into love ❤
This man is a rare, once in a generation player! To love his playing, is not to disrespect Django. I love then both!
Yo estaba teniendo una mañana muy triste. Este genio me devolvió la alegría. Extraordinario. ❤
So...this is how hard work sounds... great! but beyond that... his musicality is fenomenal...! cheers !!
tell me this doesn't sound like a song that would play during a spongebob intro when it shows the episode name getting washed away by the bubbles
J. Christian Day omg exactly
everyone i show "is that from spongebob?"
Or even toy story
His vibrato seals it
Bud
Love this song, absolutely love Joscho's version.
Escucho una y otra vez esto y nunca me cansaré :D
Magnifique interprétation!!!!
Musicianship, fun, joy and fantastic talent. Thanks mate. D
That's what we call PERFECTION. Great techniques ! Thank you !
Really great !!! I love the way he plays.
Never seen anything like you! Ill just sit here and be amazed!!
This is just.. beautiful
Amazing, as always.
Ein echter Zauberkünstler !
Es imposible tocar mejor! Awesome,incredible,excellent,perfect!
Oh, wow. Love this version over his other very FAST version. Either one, Joscho is
a master at the game. Hat's Off!
As impressive instrumental music skills as I ever expect to see. What he does there at 2:10 is astounding.
Yes, those cheeky harmonics which finish the phrase! Very clever stuff!
Mario bros coin technique
moment of magic!!! ;) The crowd laugh and his look when just finish this phrase...MAGIC...!
That's the part that astounded you most? I think @ around 2:19 is more impressive.
Maestro
Holy mackerel. this is beyond any words. this is the greatest playing i've ever witnessed
No matter how complex his solos get, he manages to maintain the recognizable essence of the tune.
amazing how he keeps it interesting for so long, no blues/rock guitarist can do that
jazz deserves so much respect
-a metaller
hes just a very rare guitar player
if you listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan and say no Blues/rock guy can keep it interesting than I just don't know..
Since you're a metal guy you should include how most of them are all about shredding and nonsense or else you're just showing bias against blues rock. with that said, you probably dont listen to much blues rock then if u think no player can keep it interesting. Blues/rock are mostly jams and improvisation so idk what you're talking about
samme79 it's gypsy jazz, actually...
Wonderful playing Joscho and thank you.
Regards,
David D.
So polished, so confident. AWESOME!
I don’t know whether to be more envious of his playing or his hairline
HAHAHAHAH!
lol
lol!!! ...no reason you can't envy both ; )
I ll give you the hairline, I ll take the playing
I am more envious of his good nature and sense of humor.
A very gifted guitarist and he plays with such ease.
Just incredible. Really outstanding
Lot the wit and sense of play in his style also. Bravo!
Beautiful ever great style ever thank you Joscho.....
this gentleman is the greatest!!
Amazing work here. Mind is blown😐🎵💣💥😨
Marvellous skill. Wonderful music.
wow man hungry fingers just eating up the fret board = smoking ! thank you master guitarist !
Watching from the Philippines!! 🇵🇭
Damn Dr. Hofstadter has some skills! Flawless!
30th time here, and still enjoying this ❤
i love his live crowd version..he breathes Jazz Gypsy Jochco characterizes every technique ..Excellent Performance
Would like to see some “best ever” rock and roller try this. And he’s smiling and having a blast. Mastery.
fantastic Job Sir! and the rhythm guys rips!
That was absolutely amazing!! Im no dummy to guitar or music. I just gave a standing ovation in my living room alone! Haha,
He really is a marvellous musician.
this guy deserves the hall of fame any day !!!!

How fun was that, Bravo!

Pure showing off to the audience.
