Hi folks, sorry for the spam but I think I contribute enough to deserve the occasional spam ;-)

Last year, I recorded a lesson series with Stephane Wrembel. I just released it today, and Stephane agreed to have a huge discount sale until the end of the month because he's just a really generous guy!

I am especially proud of volume 2 where Stephane reveals in great detail his special polyrhythm concept for Gypsy Jazz, you can watch a clip here:

Thanks!

    The syncopation exercises sound crazy. I think my girlfriend might kill me if I try to practice that around here!

    Thanks folks!! And don't forget to check out the newly released FREE gypsy jazz rhythm with Benji Winterstein!

    Anyway, for vol 2 of Stephane's lessons, I'm really happy about the polyrhythm lessons, and the playalongs that come with it. I've muted the rhythm guitar track, so there's only bass and stephane's polyrhythms! Your job is to keep the rhythm straight and not get thrown off! It's really one of the best rhythm guitar training exercises out there. Stephane's time is really precise, and the bass is quantized to a metronome so if anything wrong happens, it's YOU haha

    Django used stuff like this all the time, it is hard to hear in melody till you've done the work and then it becomes obvious, and melody brings out the beauty.

    Here is my favourite ever syncopation exercise in all of recorded music (55s-1m.12s,3/16 over 4/4)



    Django uses a fragment here in a similar way but over a shorter time (from 48s to 52) then breaks out of it.



    Lots of Django's rhythm fills are based on polyrhythms where the rhythmic motif is in say 9/16 but the harmony is moving in 4/4. None of this stuff is obvious but if you work on it then it can really open your ears and give you new insights. Whether or not Django did these things consciously or not is besides the point in my opinion. For sure Bill Withers new he was integrating an exercise into a performance piece.

    Best of luck with the course Dennis, looks like good fun for the hardworking and it is nice to have the explanation in English once in a while !
