nEveRcryptIK26th October 2009Is it possible that the tab is incorrect for the second part? I think the second to last note is fretted on 12 not 11

Ivan Milenkovic2nd October 2008Čestitam na prvoj lekciji druže i dobrodošao na GMC. Vrlo zanimljivo
Vasilije Vukmirovic2nd October 2008Awesome lesson man. Is there any chance of doing a series of lessons aimed at beginners to Jazz and how they can improve their playing with some Jazz licks. And a bit about the theory behind it. That would be awesome.
Yeah, why not!
Well, about improving your style with licks...I don't know. You gotta go the other way, learn some theory first and lick will follow. Learning licks is cool, but when you understand some theory, you will learn to improvise and you won't need many licks, learning licks is useful, only with some theory knowledge.

Hi GMC! My name is Vasilije Vukmirovic, and it’s pleasure to be here with you guys!
In my first lesson, I played a little piece which I composed to introduce you to gipsy jazz. The song is in E minor, and chords are, E min, C7, F#7, B7. Basically, it’s I-IV-V, although sounds a bit strange with C7. C7 is used to create little harmonic movement, don’t be confused. You will see that use lot of down-strokes(after which I rest my right hand on the next lower string) and that is to create that special "gipsy sound". That is crucial for gipsy jazz playing, I will discuss it more deeply in my next lesson, for now, focus on learning the piece and playing it really slowly. Pay attention to that fast arpeggio part, and most importantly, pick hard.
I used guitar rig preset called twangy tone, in jazz section, it is great for that old Django-style sound!
I also advise you to improvise over the backing tracks, harmony is very easy, so step on! Use E harmonic minor for now, there are more possibilities of course, but I don’t want to confuse you, so play what you feel like, experiment and enjoy!
In the next lesson we will discuss basics of Gipsy jazz technique, till then, have fun playing!
See ya!
Vasilije
