Just Jazz Guitar – November 2003 – By Ted Gottsegen<\/b>
\r\n
While many books have taught the arrangements and chord changes of Reinhardt oriented tunes, none have attacked the correct manner in which the style is traditionally\r\nplayed. Gypsy Picking <\/i><\/a>is the first such method and is required study by those who\r\ntake their Jazz Manouche seriously and wish to obtain a correct, legitimate\r\nsound. The photographic examples depicting correct posture, the way to hold the\r\ninstrument, hand and plectrum placement introduce the student to the fundamentals\r\nof obtaining a correct tone and the picking exercises are the keys which unlock\r\nthe door to the unique sound and style of this genre of jazz. The picking\r\nexercises – focuses on the correct methods for picking upstrokes, sweep strokes,\r\nalternate picking patterns, triplets, horizontal<\/a> and chromatic<\/a> arpeggios and\r\ndouble bass triplet runs <\/a>as played by the Gypsies are just a few of the studies\r\ncontained herein. Horowitz’ method of teaching, aimed at players of all skill\r\nlevels, exhibits the quality one would expect from a musician with a BA from\r\nBerkley while his lessons reflect his hands-on study with some of Holland’s\r\nfinest young Gypsy talent. The best thing is that the lessons in this book are easily\r\ntransferable to other methods out there. Highly Recommended. \r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just Jazz Guitar – November 2003 – By Ted Gottsegen While many books have taught the arrangements and chord changes of Reinhardt oriented tunes, none have attacked the correct manner in which the style is traditionally played.
