Proper Gypsy Jazz Chords to "Honeysuckle Rose"

Finally another "proper chords" video.
I am explaining idiomatic chord voicings here, that are used in the style of gypsy jazz or jazz Manouche.
Of course these chords exist in other styles, too, yet - some voicings are very related to certain styles, same as the way you play progressions, be it as a soloist or rhythm guitarist.

Hi Sven, just found your brilliant lesson for HoneysuckleRose, many thanks for taking the time and effort to show us how it’s done

[@llgmusic]

Hi Sven your tuto videos are really helpful. I like the way you explain every chords and how you justify it, it help us having the manual ( the language) to understand not only the gypsy guitar but also other styles. Thanks

Thankyou Sven nice work nice number

Thank You! Very helpful

Great channel, great teacher. You have given me so much clarity in such an in-depth way, on the differences between Gypsy/hot jazz and the traditional arrangements. These little things alone, have whats complicated, and scared people away from jazz; all the different arrangements, chord names of the same chords, but different inversions, trying to explain the simplicity to people alone scares them, etc, and the so-called "Real Book" wind to string difference of keys. But guys like you and Dennis Chang have changed things for those that wanna learn, the philosophy behind why it changed etc.
Thx Sven

Awesome stuff here as always man - thank you!

[@davidbuerkel5737]

Thanks for the nod of 'High Virtuosity' for the sometimes lowly Gypsy guitar rhythm slave. Us rhythm guys just love playing it. Your video lessons always help.

[@ericb5852]

Fantastic lesson Sven! Thank you✌️

[@johnrothfield6126]

Now I understand why I had such a hard time with the chords!

[@artofsoundcc]

This is great, especially the intro! Worked on that last summer.

[@pororin60]

[@jonathanlee5907]

Thank you for explaining it so well

[@Novembrine616]

Now I just need a proper chords lesson for Lullaby of Birland and La Vie en Rose, and I can die peacefully. Thanks for the lesson, Sven!

[@SvenJungbeck]

That's possible! 😅👍🏼

Many thanks for this Sven. I think this might be the first tune I heard Django playing, way back 40 odd years ago, so it's one that's very special to me. I always thought it was more complicated than it actually is, so a big thumbs up for showing me that it's not 👍Cheers.

Great lesson, thanks

[@mikehuffman5460]

i like it

[@jacktomchang9892]

I think you are Spot on about theorists. If they had included the b6th as an actual part of the Major Scale, like the BeBop players, & most likely Chopin, Theory would make much more sense. The flat 6th is like the missing Link. Cheers! Enjoy your playing very much.

I see you need something behind the bridge to help cut down sympathetic overtones. These types of guitars have a collection of sympathetic overtones which I am not happy with. So, I have a damper behind the bridge (felt), and a SUSGARD string damper below the nut at the first fret. The only problem is, the overtones are cut down, but if you play open strings they're muted. If the melody calls for an open string I try to find a string I can note that works as a substitute. It's up to the individual player what they're happy with. Thanks for the "comp" chords. One thing I really admire about the Django/Gypsy playing is the rhythm guitar(s).

[@davidhackett1694]

Great lesson- is there a Gypsy Jazz Real Book showing typical GJ chords?

[@davidwilliamson9462]

Greetings from Manchester uk. I watch everything you post! I’ve recently started learning Django style. You are my teacher! I wonder if you would consider posting a vid on how to play “Three little words”? Ifeel it might be a good route into Django soloing? Kindest regards, Will. (Aged 56and 3 quarters).

[@craigtodd8297]

This is really good but I wish you didnt give options or alternative methods. I'd rather you instruct one method. If its difficult so be it.

[@jackwilloughby239]

I have two requests. The first is for the tune "Joy", played by Stephane Grappelli and Ike Isaacs on "Violinspiration" & the second is for "Tea for Two". There is a fine transcription of Stephane playing "Joy" at: ruclips.net/video/nWHuDNgM6TQ/видео.html
"Tea for Two" was one of Steph's favorite tunes. He played it all his life, and I think there is a lot one could learn from it. Thanks! Enjoy your videos very much.
