After speaking with a good friend Gene, I decided to see if the Gypsy tone could be achieved on a budget as such, I discuss a flea market find for $50 and compare it to my Cigano guitars. I also look at free and cheap alternatives to strings, picks, and lessons. #RobinNolan #DjangoReinhardt #Guitar Here's the link to John 5 playing a Hello Kitty guitar for all the naysayers that claim you need ...

    Not a sound that I'm a fan of. I could see using a pick like that on a bass, if you were playing a style that "required" a pick. But on a guitar it just makes the guitar sound cheap. Lots of clacking and buzzing. It sounds like you don't have control of the right hand, giving the string much more than needed. I do like primetone, but much smaller size.

      @@bigbassjonz I understand what you’re saying. I’ve messed with pick thickness for a few years now and settled on a few that range between 4-5mm. They add the necessary volume for both rhythm and lead playing in gypsy jazz. Django often used a thick plectrum he carved from a button. I’ve tried the picks on several different gypsy guitars and each sounds a little different but all give that punch needed to cut through.

I'd never heard of Gypsy Jazz before and now realize that much of what I was hearing is part of the style.

      Actually i tried both and the Altamira was better. More rounded tone. But I actually went with a Cigano GJ10 instead as it sounded the same and had more volume. Check out Djangobooks.com and see his video reviews of each model. The Cigano deserves a look :)

    great video! i've been working on setting up a cheap acoustic that still sounds decent to play some gypsy jazz style stuff. one thing that i've noticed is the super light string on a selmer style make more sense since the scale is longer, but on a regular guitar the string gauge should go up a bit to get the same feel and tension that django and other's would have had using light string on their gypsy jazz guitar. i also wonder if anyone knows exactly what strings django used on his electric recordings

    Thanks for your review, I'm planning to buy a Stimer pickup to get that original manouche sound and I wonder if it could be able to reproduce a full electric jazzy sound as well with the right amp (something close to last year's Django recordings: ua-cam.com/video/JlOeo_twJU8/v-deo.html) Any idea on this? Do you think it's possible? Thanks!

    !!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! O.M.G., my friend has the exact same model from the sixties and sent it to a luthier to see what could be done to it to make it playable again. Since we are talking about being on a budget and trying things, let me know your opinion on my idea; WHAT IF, I were to buy a Gypsy Swing Jazz tail piece and screwed it on a low price 'Classical guitar' to put zero pressure on the bridge, could it not do the trick somehow? Yes, I understand that the neck is 'WIDER' but it is just an experiment. Have a great wednesday and rest of week...stay healthy !!! Cheers !!!

    • @barobromberger2622
      @barobromberger2622 Рік тому

      In theory it could work, but after a while you could start to see a dent forming because the classicals have a totaly flat top where as the Gypsy Jazz Guitars have it slightly arched. If you decide to do it anyways i'd reccomend to buy the tail piece from Killy Nonis :)

    Hey man, try playing a little more behind the sound hole. Also your picking hand just seems very stiff I suggest thinking about bein "looser" with that picking hand. Also your angle on that hand may need a bit of an adjustment to play more loose and comfortable because it sounds quite robotic and doesn't really "swing" thank you for your content though I really aplriciate what your doing! Keep pickin away and have fun doin it!

    Funny, I was thinkinig of ordering a FLOW and went back through my fishbowl of picks and found one of these----I like it a lot and wonder why I ever stopped using it!. Getting older (63) so grip is an issue nowadays. (I never dropped picks, but I had the devil's time of keeping them from "turning around" while I played. These don't.) Thanks for comparing the two picks for me. I appreciate that.

    The sharpness of the point must be what makes it louder. They're really comfortable but its hard to escape the strings. I like the hetfield whitefang which is an ultex flow but thinner and has a better grip. But the 2.0mm jumbo flow is great if you like the 420 try the 2mm

The other 50% of the time I use pickboy (they’re a little bit larger than the Dunlop jazz IIIs). I was using those exclusively the last few years.

    Guitar snobs deride the Cigano, but if you get a good one, they are fantastic value for money. Try before you buy and you shouldn't be disappointed. I'd go with 11s on the strings for a bit more body.. They have a very thin (not narrow) neck that helps with solos, and makes it easy for rythm too.
