Paul Mehling – Learn to Play Gypsy Jazz Guitar DVDRip RS NL UL
They don’t call it ‘hot guitar’ for nothing! The driving style pioneered by Django Reinhardt and other Gypsy players became one of the dominant sounds in jazz during the thirties and forties, and its influence is still strongly felt today. Paul Mehling knows the style as well as anyone, and he takes it apart in detail for the learning player.
A band won’t swing without a strong rhythm section, and the powerful guitar accompaniment that typifies the Gypsy style is the foundation of this terrific lesson. Starting with basic four-to-the-bar comping and damping, Paul takes you through a variety of accompanyment ideas: arpeggios, ‘splayed’ chords, ‘the gallop,’ chord tremolo, right hand speed and other advanced techniques.
You’ll gain an understanding of the particular harmonic structures of this music through chord voicings, progressions, and accompaniments to classics such as ‘Minor Blues,’ ‘Oriental Shuffle’ and ‘I’ll See You In My Dreams.’ Paul also provides invaluable advice on learning from recordings, use of the metronome, and a look at his rare Maurice DuPont guitars. Includes some hot jamming with Paul and Tony Mandraccia, rhythm guitar.
Volume One is about playing rhythm, but in a bigger sense it gets to the core of the Gypsy Jazz technique, which focuses on a strong picking motion and fretting techniques, such as ‘choking’ the strings to enable the hair-trigger response that is essential to this style. The video instruction format is excellent for this purpose, as it allows you see the arm and wrist action involved.
