iDjangos Gypsy Jazz Arpeggios
Django Reinhardt’s music has seen an incredible revival within recent years, with Gypsy Jazz ensembles carrying the torch of his music all over the globe. An important element to his fiery technique along the fingerboard was his ergonomic approach to arpeggios. iDjangos Gypsy Jazz Arpeggios hopes to shed light into the master’s thinking by exploring two note & three note arpeggios over common chords seen within gypsy jazz changes.
Upon internalizing them, one can transpose these patterns and use them as:
1)Technique builders
2) Daily etudes for guitar musicianship
3) Vocabulary for jazz improvisation
4) Melodic cells to be used within favorite tunes!
