We just wrapped the Gypsy Jazz Full Immersion Weekend with Benji Winterstein, and like every time before it, one topic dominated everything else.

Major chords. Minor chords. Dominant chords.

The three most used chord types in the entire repertoire. And the ones most people are not playing correctly.

But here is the thing nobody tells you. When you fix these chords, really fix them, from both hands, the way Django approached them, you are not just improving your rhythm playing. You are building the exact technical foundation that will make you a better soloist. Better phrasing. Better tone. Better control. It all starts here.
