I came for the lesson, but stayed for the performance, or maybe it was the other way around. INCREDIBLE PLAYING. Impeccable instruction. It does not get any better than this!!!!
I was in Switzerland last week training for my work, and I found myself in a second hand CD shop looking for music by this guy called Django Reinhardt. I found a compilation and bought it. Now obsessed with his songs Rhythm Futur and I'll see you in my Dreams, I have you to thank you for introducing me to this music I'd otherwise never heard of ☝️👍😊 so thanks, Alex
“It’s worth practicing that stuff.” Yes! Great lesson - technique, music theory, a bit of context, pop quizzes set to bossa beats - this lesson has it all! 🙏
Playing blues &rock over 52 years now.i know practicly everything about hendrix etc.but now that i finaly decided to take on gypsy the other stuff seems like kindergarten difficulty.its very hard to get customised with all the various chords that i did.nt knew but your lessons helped enormously.love your es175 by the way.i started now with a second hand ibanez george benson.
Thanks for the comment mate, I appreciate that. I also started with blues, rock and pop and came to jazz in my teens. Was a real deep learning curve! I enjoyed every moment of it though 👌🏻 Gypsy jazz is definitely the easiest way in to the jazz world.
Thanks, great playing, great lesson. At first I thought all the explanations about the harmony were slowing down the process, but in fact, they help a lot to understand the tune AND to remember which chords to play. It kind of makes sense afterwards.
Thanks Martin, I appreciate that. Indeed.. like with anything, learning to understand the bigger picture can seem like slow going for a moment, but you soon start to see the fruits of your labour. 👌🏻
Another great lesson Alex, thanks! First heard this song on a live recording of The Rosenberg Trio (live at the North Sea jazz festival, I think). And great further listening tips also!
I just discovert your Channel and want to say thank you. Your explainations are very straied forwarth to the Point, intresting and clear. I really like how you put everything in context. Just Great teaching . I will defenetly go and get some of the Materials you offer. Your lessons are Full of informations so i‘ll have to rewatch it a few times i guess… (sorry for Bad english and best regards 😊)
Ah wow thank you my friend, I really appreciate your comment and your kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the lesson.. and thank you for your support.. buying a lesson or two (or signing up for the Patreon) is always massively appreciated and helps me to continue making these videos 🙏🏻🧡 P.S: your English is excellent! 👌🏻
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed the lesson!.. I appreciate the support! The dominant/diminished inversions aren't in the materials but I will soon do a video specifically on that topic and will provide some hefty materials to go along with it. (All of that stuff will be included on my Patreon of course).
Outstanding as usual! I will have to learn it, it sounds great. However, while I have both a Gibson ES175 and a magnificent vintage 1962 Martin D28, I don't have a classical guitar. Now you've convinced me to buy one! (PS--- you don't list the D28 that is seen in the opening video, in your Gear list --- or is it a D18 or something else? Looks like a D28)
Haha, apologies to your wallet my friend! ;) I love having a classical hanging around to play on.. such a beautifully toneful instrument. Ah yes, the Martin is a HD28v .. part of a special edition run for Westside distribution here in the UK.. it's an absolute beauty 👌🏻
This performance sounded like something you would hear whilst watching a latin couple do a seductive dance in a semi-clean cantina in South America 💃🕺 Very nice 175, new ? It reminds me of Jonthan Kreisberg, an outstanding musician like yourself. My favourite track of his is "Unearth", it's the Bee's knees 🐝
Haha “semi-clean cantina”.. love how specific that scenario is! 😂 Yes, I got the 175 a few weeks back, it’s an old one from 1958!.. a bit of a dream guitar for me. I did a video all about it on my Patreon, it’s one seriously sweet guitar. Just badly needs a refret! I’ll have to check out more Jonathan Kreisberg.. I’ve only heard bits and bobs but always liked it. 👌🏻

Sounds great Alex. I learnt this song about 20 years ago. I've completely forgotten how to play it though so your video is going to come in handy!
Ah that’s great!.. glad you’ll be revisiting it! 🙏🏻
Thank you Alex
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
❤🎶❤ I really love Dorado and his compositions 👍 👏👏👏 I hope he will hear this lovely cover 👍 Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much!.. gosh that would be very cool if he heard it! :)
Probably the best tutorial of this lovely tune on RUclips. Very informative and understandable. Thank you Alex.
Thanks Gordon, I really appreciate that! 🙏🏻
Another great lesson Alex, thanks! First heard this song on a live recording of The Rosenberg Trio (live at the North Sea jazz festival, I think). And great further listening tips also!
Ah yes!.. that is a fantastic version! Thanks for reminding me about it!
Thanks Alex, cheered me up no end after a grisly day ... dark-eyed beauties and exotic cocktails in one lovely piece of music ...
I’m so glad to hear that Andrew! Music is a real tonic isn’t it? 🍻
Such a cool tune! You nailed this...sounds so good!
Cheers mate! I’ve always loved this tune too.. looking forward to doing a follow-up lead study on it.
Such beautiful, evocative playing. Thanks for opening up my ears once again
My pleasure!.. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏🏻🍻
Just your performance is awesome, I’ll check the lesson later, so many previous other guitar stuff in progress, but I had to make a comment 😉🙏
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it! Yes, no need to rush into all of the pieces. Tackle what you fancy, when you fancy it 👌🏻
Gorgeous! Totally out of my league but just wonderful to watch and hear you play this lovely piece. Thanks Alex!
Ah thank you Martin, you're too kind!.. and you're more than capable of learning this my friend!
Great teaching !👍

Thanks man!!! Great lesson as usual. I’m purchasing the lesson materials. Does it include the dim/ dom7 inversions? 🎸🎵
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed the lesson!.. I appreciate the support!

@@AlexFarranGuitar Sounds great! Looking forward to that lesson and really diggin’ all your music choices for your videos…Keep them coming!
Thanks James, so glad you're enjoying the song choices! Thanks again for your support 🙏🏻
That beginning sounds straight out of James Bond movie! Gypsy Jazz James! 🤣
Ha, Gypsy jazz James.. a Wild West hero no doubt 🤠

This is wonderful!!!Is there a backing track on the patreon site for this piece playing the chords so that I can focus on the melody?
Thanks Elen! Yea indeed, my backing track is included with the lesson materials 👍🏻
Thank you!!!!
the playing's lovely and everything but that warp transition at 1:12 ... dude.
haha not all of us can be Michael Bay y'know! 😋
