Gypsy Journey Reviews
Приєднався 3 сер 2021
Welcome to Gypsy Journey Reviews! Here, I'll be reviewing gypsy jazz guitars, pickups, equipment, books, and other items from the world of Gypsy Jazz. I have played guitar for 30 years but I'm embarking on a quest to learn the intricacies of gypsy jazz in the styles of Django Reinhardt, Oscar Aleman, Jimmy Rosenberg, and others. I don't claim to play like them, but simply that they are influences.

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 ...

Best pick out there. Period.
Tone starts with a good guitar and the right pick choice. After that its phrasing and finesse from your hands.
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.
@@gypsyjourneyreviews7745 I've gone down quite a rabbit hole since I made my uneducated comment. I'd never heard of Gypsy Jazz before and now realize that much of what I was hearing is part of the style. I've been playing guitar for 30 years, many style, just hadn't had the pleasure of coming across Gypsy Jazz. Please forgive my ignorance.
@@bigbassjonz no need for forgiveness :) it’s a style I love but also one I know doesn’t appeal to a lot of people. I hope you like what you’ve found and if you have any questions about the genre, please let me know and I’ll do my best to help. Thanks for watching.
Right on, I’m lookin on reverb for a good used Altamira M30 or a Eastman DM2.
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 :)
Nice work man
Thank you! It’s a wonderful guitar. So shocked I found it locally.
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
Can you tell me the length of big stubby 3mm, please..
Makes a horrible click noise plus the bevels are the wrong way around for my way of picking. Expensive waste of money if you are looking for a mellow non gypsy sound.
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!
pick more to the bridge and use rest stroke technique
Yes my style has changed considerably over the pass two years as I’ve learned more about La Pompe and played with other enthusiasts.
Snake snoring, comes through loud and clear
So Argentines are more expensive then the D’Addario silver plated over there ?
Yes! I love Argentines but when I’m in a pinch I can at least go to the one shop here that carries the D’Addario gypsy strings :)
💪✌️🎸
Hi, very beautiful video, please can you tell me how have you fixing the pick up at the top of the guitar? Thanks and regards
The Primetone 5mm round tip is GREAT for bass guitar.
You haven't posted in a while, everything alright?
Some personal setbacks but the journey continues. I now have a gypsy quartet I play with every week and I just posted my first original song here on the channel. Thanks!
@@gypsyjourneyreviews7745 Lovely to hear!
!!! 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 !!!
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 :)
sorry to say that I am having similar feedback filled results....I'll try an EQ but it may need to go back
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 Dunlop Purple Big Stubby 3mm are my absolute favorite for the price! FYI The much smaller stubby Jazz picks 1,2,3 are much too small for me to hold 🎶🎸😎☮️
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
not hard to escape at all.. omg.. 200 bpm 4 notes per string is not an issue at all.
Thank you 🎶🎸😎☮️
That sounded so Django-ish, do you think those daddario strings would work on a flat top acoustic?
Not sure. I don’t think the bracing and resonance would be ideal. I think they’d be too tinny sounding.
Did you mention where the guitar was built by chance?
It’s a great Chinese made guitar I played one and for starting its great, Though if you can save a little more and get the Altamira MD model, that’s a perfection for beginners and also for professionals
What's that sound like a snake snoring during all the video?
Probably sprinklers
damn dude that sounds amazing i love it
👍
Very bad sound.....
The 10th fret marker TOTALLY throws me off but it Does make more sense . At 10th fret all notes are whole as w/ the other dots.
True, hadn't considered that until you mentioned it. It's frustrating though going from one guitar with the markers to another guitar without :)
Is there anyone here who wants to swap their gypsy jazz guitar for a Hello Kitty? I pay the shipping!
Hahahaha!
Jimmy Rosenberg made the sound with a Stagg A300....see UA-cam...
Thanks, my guitar sounds better when you play it.
Hahaha. Nah. I really like the feel of your guitar. It's really made for rhythms I think in tone and capability.
The tone is in your hands. I love that, it’s true and says a lot.
Thanks Jeff. Did you watch the John 5 video linked in the description? It's really entertaining.
I just did, brilliant!
if this is true why stochelo rosenberg doesnt play on cigano guitars ?
Nice to meet you today Nathan--that's EXACTLY the pick I use, I AM officially addicted!...but when recording, watch out for the clicking noise...I had to re-do a track for a guy because of that.
Hi Thad. Thanks for the comment and it was great to meet you too! I switch between that pick, the Robin Nolan pick, and an Ernie Ball Prodigy 2.0mm depending on the song and whether I'm doing rhythm or leads.
@@gypsyjourneyreviews7745 Yeah, depending on the guitar for me. I use the bulky one for the gypsy guitar, the Dunlop Delran 502 mm for regular acoustic in about 50% of the time on electric. 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. But for 25 years before then, it was the red jazz IIIs. Why red? If you drop them you could find them. Now all the pics I use are black so I’m screwed!
@@thadbonduris2462 Yeah I go back and forth. I only play my gypsy guitar these days as I'm trying to build a setlist for a new jazz club here in Tulsa. As such, I use the heavier picks, including the 6mm, when I really need to punch up the solos. Otherwise, I go back and forth between my wide selection of picks.
I have a Robin Nolan pick too!!
It's really nice isn't it?
Yes it is!

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.
Agreed 100%. I love my Cigano Grande Bouche D Shaped model and it has 11s on it. Sounds brilliant. Thank you for the comment.
Any recommendations for the fret dot markings on the 9 vs 10 fret I mentioned in the review? That really throws me off.
Is the difference in scale length much of an issue?
Not as much as the fret dot markings. I like both scales to be honest.
Thanks, great review!
Nice one mate appreciate the review and good work 🙏🎸💕Robin
Great job.
