The Top 5 Gypsy Jazz Songs - with Lead Sheets!
Feb 11, 2023Take a quick tour of five of the best and most iconic gypsy jazz songs. In this video I briefly explain what gypsy jazz is and some of the vital elements of this style, pioneered by Django Reinhardt in 1930’s Paris with violinist Stephane Grapelli. If you’re into Latin guitar or acoustic guitar of any kind, exploring gypsy jazz is very much worth your time - the scales, melodies and ornaments played will inform and compliment your playing in any style. Guitar tabs of all the songs are displayed in the video along with the rhythm guitar on the left side of the screen and lead/melody guitar on the right side. All songs are performed at 200bpm.
