    Thank you for joining the Gypsy Jazz Soloing Mini-Course!

    Lesson #1: Arpeggios, Ornaments and Sound Effect

    In this 3-part mini-course, you’ll learn the basics of Gypsy Jazz Picking technique
    with a collection of the most popular Gypsy Jazz licks, implemented in a solo etude
    over Dark Eyes.

    Each lesson will focus on a unique technique and a few phrases that are the core of
    Gypsy Jazz. The moment you hear any of these phrases, you just know – Oh yes!
    This is Gypsy Jazz!

    All these phrases came from one source – the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt.
    Django was a Jazz Guitarist. But his style laid the foundation for what has come to
    be called “Gypsy Jazz,” a new style of Jazz emerged from the core of Django’s
    phrasing.

    It's these core elements that you will discover during this mini-course.

    In this lesson, we’ll focus on phrases with arpeggios and ornaments, with the bonus
    of a super sound effect that I especially love.

    Take it slowly and enjoy.

    Let's dive in!

    Yours,

    Yaakov Hoter

    The Ultimate Gypsy Jazz Picking and Style Course
    Fundamentals of Rest-Stroke Picking
    Rest-Stroke Picking – Movements

    There are three important movements - downstroke, sweep and upstroke:

    The downstroke uses your elbow to move between strings. It’s like each string has a
    different elbow position. When you play the down-stroke, you should come to rest on the
    string below. For example - when you hit your 6th string, you should “lean” on your 5th string
    with your plectrum. This downstroke is very important and every first note on each string
    should be played as a downstroke.

    The Sweep continues to the next higher string with the same movement from your elbow.
    For example: When you play a downstroke on your 6th string and then move on to the 5th string,
    you just have to push your hand further down from your elbow.

    The upstroke uses your wrist. Imagine you have a card inside your hand that you want to
    quickly glance at and then immediately hide again. The upstroke is fast and short - a flick of the
    wrist.
