Basic gypsy jazz chords & La Pompe exercise
In This lesson you will learn all the basic chord shapes used by Django and other great Gypsy
player plus special exercises for mastering your la pompe playing while moving from chord to
another.
Although we call them Gypsy jazz chords, eventually youll be playing Jazz chords that you can
use at any style you want. Some of the shapes are particularly characteristic of Django's style.
Some chord shapes may be easier for you, while others may be harder. Its important for you to
choose at least one chord shape for each position. Its important to practice the hard chords
every day in order to get used to them. Dont give up on them; it takes time, but eventually
youll be able to play them. On the other hand, dont let these chords stop your practice and
improvement. Just go on with the chords you can play right now, while you also try to practice
the hard ones.
In this lesson, I want to concentrate only on the chord shapes. After you have learned this
lesson, I strongly recommend that you take the chord theory lesson in order to understand
these chords. Its very important to completely understand what you are playing in order to be
able to use it again in different situations and in different songs.
Before you take this lesson, I strongly recommend that you take lesson number 1 - La Pompe -
to gain a thorough understanding of La Pompe rhythm.
Now, here are the chord diagrams shown in the video in lesson number 2:
