Hi Friends! I'm super excited to share with you the first in a new series of videos I'm creating - Let's Jam! Online interactive gypsy jazz jam simulator! This week's song, Coquette.

Basically, it's a real Jam in your own home. instead of just a playalong, you jam with the video, playing rhythm while Mick and I solo, and lead during several places where we play only rhythm. Give it a try and tell me what you think (and/or request a song for next weeks video)



And, here's ANOTHER one, this time it's Swing Gitane

Bill Da Costa Williams

Well that was a lot of fun - irresistible!
Thanks, Anthony, you're really on a roll this week.

Thanks man!

By the way friends, I found that when I played along with the video, I found it fun and easy to solo, but playing rhythm was a bit challenging because I couldn't hear the rhythm guitar over my own. anybody find that the case?

I'm thinking the next video I will try to have an extra person there playing rhythm the whole time. Maybe even have my basist there as well.

Hey that WAS fun! Thanks!

i haven't tried this yet, but i know that i would run into that same issue when playing rhythm. this can be resolved a bit more easily by listening through headphones or playing much quieter!

This is a great idea, Anthony! How about inserting arpeggio/scale sub titles as reminders for budding soloists during the viewer chorus chord changes?

Great minds think alike, Clement Reboul released an instruction video of Coquette recently: http://www.apprendre-le-jazz-manouche.com/etude-de-grille-5-coquette/

That's the plan.

Bass is good. Rhythm in Gitane ...hmmmm...you have basic pompe and second rhythm pattern driving the bus.....too much going on IMHO.....sometimes it works with the solo sometimes I feel it is competing with he solo...not having a conversation.

Having said that it does simulate what often happens in real jams
