Rhythm or Soloing? A good question and I strongly recommend both for beginners. Certainly learning how to play the rhythm will help you a lot in playing lead so don't ignore this side of playing. In this video lesson I'll show you a simple way to get the La Pompe gypsy rhythm down. 1. keep each beat short and crisp 2. play quietly too 3. a slight accent on 2 & 4 but not too much! 4. practice this with a metronome for as long as you can every day. And also a lick which is real useful. Have fun! It’s all about learning and absorbing these small tasty bite size ideas into your playing. Before you know it you’ve got a ton of great stuff at your fingertips! Swing Out! Robin If you have a question about gypsy jazz just zap me a mail: [email protected]
