Jazz Guitar Lessons – Gypsy Duets – Andreas Oberg & Frank Vignola – Minor Swing

FULL COURSE, TAB, JAM TRACKS: truefire.at More Free Guitar Lessons: bit.ly Join TrueFire for free – www.truefire.com On Twitter – http On Facebook – www.truefire.com Here we see Frank and Andreas jam Minor Swing in the key of A minor. Both Frank and Andreas approaches to harmony and rhythm at the start of this tune typify the Gypsy jazz style plenty of diminished and chromatic phrases bolstered by tight, driving rhythms comprised of sparse yet complex chord voicings. Later in the performance, we hear Andreas introduce more blues-based note choices with Frank following suit with his chord voicings and rhythms. Frank then explores a few blues phrases before the boys break into a classically-themed section, illustrating just how far the Gypsy jazz style can be taken. The piece wraps things up while exploring a more traditional approach.

   The video is only part of the lesson. There are 21 other videos explaining the techniques and theory they used when improvising this song.

    All of them… on a serious note, he switches scales depending on what chord he’s playing over. unlike blues or rock, in jazz you typically change scales when playing through a song to match up w/the chord you’re playing over. since this is minor swing, i’d say most of what he’s playing is harmonic minor. but he’s also using arpeggios, chromatics, licks and his time is sick. not to mention his technique. if you wanna play like this, find a teacher and get off youtube!

    I agree in everything but the youtube part!
    Youtube is a great community and an amazing way to learn stuff, never get off youtube, you can always listen to something new and try to transcribe what you like dependending what you hear!
