Hello brother. I'm a gypsy. Growing up we always had a guitar around. And someone was always playing it. My dad, uncles, cousins. I started when I was 3 years old my idol was George benson Still is We never thought about what we were doing .... we would just hear something and play it. Never thought about the wrist, the up stroke or downstroke or rest picking But I gotta say your video is pretty much spot on I was always taught from my dad and uncles. Just play the melody I would say. What's the melody ? My dad would tell me. It's the part of the song that you hum. The words of the song I never knew about gypsy jazz To us we were just playing our guitars and making music. Great video sir. Well done

This is the clearest, most concise explanation of the gypsy picking technique I've seen so far. Kudos to you, sir.

[SvenJungbeck]

This is the most complete and best explained lesson, I ever saw on this topic!👍

"You have got to harvest that energy..." Excellent sentiment.

[landrafter]

Really comprehensive explanations here man. You answered a load of questions for me here. Much appreciated.

You're an excellent teacher. Many thanks for this instruction!

"That metallic clang is what it's all about" <- that helped me realize how to make the technique work, awesome! Having played metal a lot, my habit is to plant my hand on the bridge because of palm mutes. This lesson helped me actually start playing with a floating hand instead, also on the electric. The difference in feel and tone is clear. So thank you!

Finally I hear someone play the least common gypsy style guitar! Loved this lesson.. I’m working on this technique with ukulele

[DebbieMarieClassics]

Dang. You are so good at explaining things. I play the mandolin and I found this super helpful! Things I'd never thought of.

This was one of the most helpful RH technique videos I’ve seen since discovering this style of music. Thank you for giving me a baseline for some new practice routines!

Nice info, thanks. I didn't really attempt gypsy style until maybe a few years back I got my first archtop acoustic and it amazes me when I see a gypsy guitar in a shop and try it out and it has the wrong strings on it, makes me sad!

[oldtimetinfoilhatwearer]

Thanks for this. Learning about this so i can be heard over the fiddle and banjo in bluegrass jams.

Just back to Gypsy Jazz. (usualy play Big Band Guitar or Funk). This video helps me a lot to switch the technique of the right hand. I know the theory since ages but tell this to my right hand... 🤣...Thx, for this helpful video!
