3 Django Reinhardt Licks From 1937-1939

Here's the next episode of Three-For-All with 3 Django Reinhardt Licks From 1937-1939.
Django Reinhardt is a legendary and misunderstood guitar icon that helped (almost) single-handedly pioneer and introduced the world to Gypsy Jazz music during the mid-1930s and throughout the 1940s.

His musical style is innovative and exciting to musicians and music fans, as his approach borrows elements commonly heard in jazz and classical music, but with a constant focus on the darker textures, tonalities, and moodier sounds found in music. The bulk of his musical ideas range from harmonic minor scale usage, diminished arpeggios and scale runs, to unusual chord progressions and tonalities, and so much more.

This lesson focuses on a series of licks and phrases that came directly from Django's music, and include phrases from his popular songs such as 'Minor Swing,' 'Honeysuckle Rose,' 'Djangology,' and more.

During this lesson, I used a nylon string guitar for the "traditional" performance demonstration of these phrases and licks, but I also included a clip of performing these ideas using an electric guitar with overdrive and using a modern style and approach.
The inclusion of electric guitar performed/featured in this lesson wasn't meant as a sign of disrespect to this masterful musician, but rather an alternative way of looking at his body of work and the various ways you can variate, translate, and rearrange his musical magic in a modern and "new" way.

There are some great phrases and licks hiding in this lesson and there should be something for everyone in this episode, so give this lesson a view, leave some comments and feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
