*********G O L D********* Huge Thank You . I looked at and read many of the comments, it appears many players needed this TREMENDOUS lesson to help them and myself included to unlock the door to these chords.
I recently discovered that the Guitar is actually tuned to a E Minor Pentatonic Chord: every other note of the E minor Pentatonic scale, which is very easy to see on the piano using the Black notes starting on Eb, then just every other note, which accounts for the strange occurrence of the major third after a bunch of fourths. And the guitar is just tuned a half step higher.. So I started trying to learn the chord scales of the Pentatonic. Seeing you demonstrate this is a real insight into how the Manouche approach the guitar and why Django's harmony is so advanced.
Thank you so much! Very helpful and I will be watching this and many of your videos multiple times. I’m in my 70’s and getting my thumb to work like yours is a challenge but I can see the rewards and will keep trying.
Without a doubt this lesson you have created has opened more doors for my playing than any "Django-style" 30's guitar-style video I have ever seen. The best part - totally serendipitous that I stumbled upon it. I was ready for it. Love your teaching style. Thanks a million.
Thank you for this, Sven - It's nice to both hear the description of the substitutions and how the 12-bars sound with each step. I've been through this with some other materials, but hearing it played by a player already familiar and comfortable with the subs and flow, in time and with feel, helps quite a bit to get the idea of it.
Wonderful lesson! Very clear description, giving me practical things to work on right away, and I liked the quicker pacing of the explanations. Thank you very much.
This is such great stuff, thank you Sven! I really love learning all these chord shapes and I’m so glad you said that it’s not easy learning the gypsy shapes... I thought it was just me. :-)
This is brilliant tricks! Would you do a video on tricks with the rythm? The accents that makes the swing! I would love that! But anyways.. you just transformed a traditional blues (in my ears) to gypsyswing in a way I understand! You know, at my day-job I play all kind of songs for children and adults - traditional, pop or original. As times have gone by with your instructions, my musical oriented colleagues always says "Rolferen, you have this jazzy sound to your playing" and I just think "yeah, thanks Sven!" I wrote a comment on one of your videos long time ago about me and my old man having this duo play gypsyswing (inspired by Django of course), and we get better each week, and you've played a major role in this. As the rythm-guitarist in this duo, your tutorials are invaluable! Thanks! And yeah.. the idea that the backing formed the soloists.. I like that, especially being the rythm part of our project :-D
Oh cool, What do you do in your daily job? I will surely do another vid concerning rhythm. The old ones are getting too old! Thanks for your support! Greetings, Sven
@@SvenJungbeck Thanks for asking. In my daywork I work with adults with autism. Music plays a big role in my work and in my section 4 of us (out of 11) play instruments so we talk and play a lot for/with each other. When I'm not doing 9-5 I play gypsyjazz with my old man. Our project have a fun part and a serious part. The fun is to meet up father and son and play around, the serious part is the jobs we occasionally do.
Once again it is a substitute for a dominant chord, however when diminished chords move upwards and resolve in the chord a half note higher, they are always meant to be "hidden" dominant chords.
Woah thanks for the reply Sven! My question is moreso how is the implied A7 the dominant to a minor chord? I would think that the dominant to the d minor would be an a minor
@@musicofcorey I see. The dominant chords are always major chords with a b7, no matter if they lead to major or minor chords. When you harmonize the aeolian scale, you get a minor chord on the 5th note, but in 99 per cent of all songs that minor chord does not appear as a "dominant" chord. The reason is simple : the minor chord would lack the guide note, for example A7 to Dm, the A7 has c# in it. That's the guide note to D. Am would have a c in it. Greetz
Hey John, I think these voicings already existed in the 30's, only the name: 13/b9 sounds more modern because it is later associated with the diminished scale or the half-tone whole-tone scale. While in contemporary jazz music, this has influence on the choice of scale, back than it was more a bass note movement on the low E string as I demonstrated here. I don't think any guitarist back then named it a G713/b9 with b9 in the bass 😅, but theoretically it can be described like this, that's why I mentioned it. warm regards, Sven
man, i need a guitar with slimer neck, i can practically do thumb like to 6 fret, then is just too much strech, on my OM, i am fine, but this altamira has basseball bat, i like it , but i guess i will need all the voicing anyway...
Great Video Sven! Is there are chord sheet available for this lesson? Your camera is a bit far away sometimes to see every position of your fingers! :-)
Thank you for your very helpful information. One question regarding the noted you are playing for the C# diminished at the 9th fret, are you including the G on the second string? Or going with the easier to grab A flat? It works either way quite nicely, even as a three note chord C# Bflat and E. Not quite sure how your playing it?
Nice presentation. I am curious about your guitar. That type of guitar can have any other use besides gipsy jazz ? How do they sound in comparison to other Acoustic guitar ? Let's say a Martin 000-28? From what I hear it's very nasal, short sustain, a lot of mids, no bass. Is that a correct summary ?
ruclips.net/video/OmieC9Z_4pE/видео.html Here the sound is captured more detailed with a better mic. The guitar sounds very direct and aggressive. That's typical for maccaferri style guitars. Some brand are more in the face, this one ( Volkert) has still lots of basses and brilliance. Different styles of music demand different instruments, I think. Warm regards
this is a treasure ! thanks Sven. I have a question on accent, I realized that you sometimes put the accent on beat 1 and 3, instead of the 2 and 4. The former sounded really swing and blues to my ear than the latter, which sounded authentic gypsy.
Ein kleiner Vorschlag zur merklichen Verbesserung deiner englischen Grammatik: Du sagt sehr oft "... here I am playing ..". Das stimmt zwar, weil du es im Moment tatsächlich tust, ABER du meinst, daß man es grundsätzlich so macht (also immer) und dann heißt es eigentlich ".. here I play ..". Jemand, der englisch aufgewachsen ist, hört diesen feinen Unterschied (Fehler) sofort!

Thanks so much, Sven. You lessons are awesome.
You are a terrific teacher. Clear and well paced. And you're a great player!
Großartig! Ich spiele seit vielen Jahren Gitarre und habe mich nie an diesen Sound herangetraut. Das ändert sich gerade.
Danke!
Great lesson, thanks for being so clear and precise with each chord, it helps a lot! You are an amazing guitarist and love your style.
*********G O L D********* Huge Thank You . I looked at and read many of the comments, it appears many players needed this TREMENDOUS lesson to help them and myself included to unlock the door to these chords.
Amazing lesson! All recorded in a single take too! Great stuff. 👍

That Dm7 stretch is a killer

Very meat and potatoes information. Great ideas for any type of blues/jazz. Thanks!
One of the best lessons I’ve come across, amazing Sven
The content you put out is some of the finest on RUclips. Thanks a million.

Very generous with your time and educated explanation. Cheers from Vegas
Incredible.dont ever stop making videos.this is a big thankyou for all of them...thankyou
Man you are great. Great guitarist and great teacher. I'll be back. Thank you
Thanks! 😉
Hey Sven! love your videos man, they are truly great in all relevant ways. I hope you will keep them coming. cheers!
Great lesson. Awesome sounds. You really make it swing! I'm foot tapping!
I look forward to more on the blues. You do it systematically from the very basic and then advance through the historical time line. Thank you.
Very nice blues!
Very useful information, clearly explained Thank you for sharing this Sven.
Very interesting and clear,explaining a lot of difficult ideas.
thanks for all the amazing knowledge ma dude!
Great video. Thanks for expanding my chord vocabulary.
oh man, so impress about the way you make the "pompe" rythm, that''s real SWING, I wish I could groove like this! Thx!
oh, I just figured it out : you mix a kind of comping with the "pompe"....soooooo nice!!!
Damn. Truly amazing stuff, and for me challenging. Like 👍🏻👌🏻💪🏻
Thank you for this video. Very generous of you!
Peace.
Excellent video
Hi Sven I love your idea of how interesting "harmonic melody" may have influenced the development of harmony from the rhythm side later.
Thank you for this, Sven - It's nice to both hear the description of the substitutions and how the 12-bars sound with each step. I've been through this with some other materials, but hearing it played by a player already familiar and comfortable with the subs and flow, in time and with feel, helps quite a bit to get the idea of it.

Thx a lot! I keep going 😊
Thanks!!!
Very cool!!
Excellent lesson.....many thanks 👍
A very useful lesson. I learnt a lot! Thanks very much.
Thanks Sven!
Thank you Sven. Great Lesson!!
Hello Sven, I love your lessons.
Thanks a lot!
Das hast Du sehr gut gezeigt! Danke💐🍀
Those Diminished chords sound killer especially the G# after the Dm7.
This is such great stuff, thank you Sven! I really love learning all these chord shapes and I’m so glad you said that it’s not easy learning the gypsy shapes... I thought it was just me. :-)
thanks much, great lesson, very appreciated!
Great stuff Sven!
Fantastic lesson!
you're the best, thank you!!
Top, Sven. Viel Erfolg weiterhin!
Danke man, dir auch lieber Martin!!!

You made that look so easy. I broke two fingers the first time I tried it. :)
still love that guitar...
Me too 😅
very cool men!!!
i really like how you play la pompe
Super erklärt! Vielen Dank!
Discovering loads of great chords from your lessons the F6 9 is a gem...
I didn't see a tip jar or patreon thank you

Danke Sven, Hej från Sverige!
This is awesome and so informative, that c#dim actually being a secondary dominant to dm blew my mind!
However, why wouldn't the secondary dominant be a minor 7th, since it is leading to a d minor ?
@@musicofcorey because the c#m7 chord lacks the G and the Bb of A7. Warm regards, Sven

Duved Duyanevsky has some great courses on this topic as well
Go háilinn air fad. Go raibh maith agat, Sven
Top top top!!!
Could you give an example of Dm7 G13b9 from the 30s ? I associate those changes with more modern music (40s onward)
Hey John, I think these voicings already existed in the 30's, only the name: 13/b9 sounds more modern because it is later associated with the diminished scale or the half-tone whole-tone scale.

Let me also mention that the chorus I'm teaching from minute 9 on is even more typical. 🙂
Greetz, Sven
Very insightful lesson! Could you write down the chords for an easy access to newbies like me? 😂
Hey, I suggest a face to face lesson via Skype or Doozoo. If you are interested, mail me.
Sven.jungbeck9@gmail.com
its too bad I cant use my thumb, my hands aren't big enough. You should show an alternative but I do love your work
Hi,
That is asked so often, that it will be a topic in one of my future videos!
All the best,
Sven
Funny; I can't use my thumb very easily because my hands are too big!
I would really like to find a song with these changes which has lyrics. Anybody know even one?
I guess a lot of try and error experimentation must have gone on, what with chord's like F6/9 plus a minor 3rd ?!.
man, i need a guitar with slimer neck, i can practically do thumb like to 6 fret, then is just too much strech, on my OM, i am fine, but this altamira has basseball bat, i like it , but i guess i will need all the voicing anyway...
Thanks Sven,well done,what make is the nylon string guitar? more videos,please.
Hi,
It is a steel string, made by Jürgen Volkert. If you subscribe to my channel... I have 110 videos online 😉
Warm regards, Sven
Do you have any other examples besides Viper’s Dream?
Great Video Sven! Is there are chord sheet available for this lesson? Your camera is a bit far away sometimes to see every position of your fingers! :-)

Different styles of music demand different instruments, I think.

La guitarra tiene cuerdas de Nylon o cuerdas de acero ??
Metal. This is a Selmer guitar copy that is typically used in this style. 😊
Ah ha!!!

this is a treasure ! thanks Sven. I have a question on accent, I realized that you sometimes put the accent on beat 1 and 3, instead of the 2 and 4. The former sounded really swing and blues to my ear than the latter, which sounded authentic gypsy.
I changed my mobile and somehow lost your number. Please send me a message on my mobile so I can save it.
I will!
Hey buddy Put the chords too along with the video as you play.. it will be more helpful
