Gypsy Jazz Rhythm Guitar Lesson (La Pompe)

GYPSY JAZZ RHYTHM GUITAR

Gypsy Jazz rhythm guitar is an art form in itself. While it sounds like it should be easy it often proves to be anything but. Examples of bad rhythm playing abound. Now I don't claim to be the worlds best accompanist but for what it's worth here is my method of teaching Gypsy Jazz rhythm guitar. I 've found it to be quite effective. By only playing on the first, second and third beats and leaving out the fourth really allows you to concentrate on getting the correct hand movements and sound. No pdf or backing track for this one, just the video.
