Gypsy Jazz Rhythm Ornamentations
Gypsy Jazz is all about the rhythm and even if you only want to play solo, learning how to play rhythm will really help you with your overall sound and playing.
In this lesson we're going to learn some rhythm ornamentations which rhythm players can use to ad drama and power to the swing.
WARNING: Don't over use what you'll learn in this lesson. Rarely do the greats like Nouche Rosenberg or Hono Winterstein play them, BUT when they do they kicks ass!
Here are 4 classic Gypsy Jazz Rhythm Ornamentations
1. The Nudge: This is a very subtle and easy rhythmic idea to use. Simply accent the 3 and beat. So 1 and 2 and 3 AND 4. Practice this by dropping it in every 2 bars So in the second bar 3 AND.
2. The Classic: This is what you often here gypsy jazz rhythm guitarists play. This is how it goes 1 da da da 3 4. Practice this by dropping it in every 4 bars. So 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1 da da da 3,4.
3. Minor Swing: This is classic Django Reinhardt and I've heard Bireli Lagrene use this one too. It comes at the end of the 'Minor Swing' chord sequence. It starts on beat 2 of the Am6 chord. Watch the video carefully to get this right. You don't actually play the first beat of the bar.
4. Djangology: This is a really awesome rhythmic embellishment that displaces the rhythm and sounds great. It comes at the end of the chord sequence in 'Djangology' Again watch the video carefully to get it right. It feels great when you do!
These ornamentations are awesome but resist using them too often. Keep your rhythm simple, in time and remember it's all about making the soloist sound good!
Have fun!
