Hi folks! Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing! It makes a world of difference! I just wanted to say that I was not paid by Stringphonic Guitars to do this video. They’ve helped me so much over the past few years since I moved to Japan. They’re really great people! Harry Takemoto, the owner, speaks great English too, so shoot him a message if you’re ever interested in their guitars!
Please do more lessons on 1930’s Jazz. This was very informative.
This is great! Thanks! Would love more lessons on early ‘30s jazz guitar.
Thanks for doing this
The Stringphonic looks and sounds almost exactly like my The Loar LH-700.
The information you give is very valuable!
Great video as always
Great video Denis!
Love it denis
Great video. Informative, and it makes sense that 30s accompanyment would be simpler than the big band era arrangements that followed.
I'm a recreational player for fifty years and was attracted to standards and jazz chords as challenging things to take on, but I had no exposure to the original seminal recordings. Now in the internet age you can find anything if you know what to look for. Can you make a few suggestions on recordings to check out that illustrate the voicings you describe here.
Love your videos. Thanks!
Thanks
Wow thank you so much!!!
Where can I see the chords for the short bit that was played at 4:33?
You mean the II V I with the descending motion? It’s extremely hard to hear and I am not 100% sure but check out Tea For Two recorded by Charlie Christian. During the piano solo is where you can hear his rhythm guitar best. During the A section, it sounds like he’s doing that chord movement at a number of occasions.
Nice! There isn’t much information out there on 30s guitar. This is appreciated. Please continue!
Love 1930’s guitar!
Such a lively archtop. Sounds great in your hands.
I have been follwing you vlogs on you findings and insight about early jazz. Really interesting stuff. hope you continue to more, and maybe do like an full comping song video at one time.
I would like to hear something sung by Al Bowlly when he also played his wide hole guitar.
Would love a collection of those 1930s chord melody transcriptions.
Thanks for uploading 😊.
How does the acoustic volume on the “Lang” compare to their Selmer/503 models?
Wonderful lesson, by the way. My war loves the pre-war harmonic style, but it’s hard for me to capture it in my playing. This was a nice reminder to put away all preconceptions about what “jazz” must be.
Beautifully played intro!
As always, a very informative and also entertaining video. It’s a pleasure to listen to you (both share wisdom and play the instrument). There’s just the right balance between keeping it simple and common sense, so that Jazz seems less daunting, and high level playing to keep me on my toes. 😅
That makes sense, that before PAs were widespread, rhythm guitarists would play all of the strings in chords, where possible (5 or 6 string chords, instead of 3-string chords, for example).
I like that guitar. I'm more of a keyboard player (I play it like a guitar, at least) but that's the style of guitar I prefer - a smaller acoustic archtop - except it's got more volume and clarity than mine (mines an old Harmony with a solid but pressed birch top). I've been looking for a nicer version that doesn't have 75 year old glue and bluesy intonation... but looking more locally than Japan! I really do like the sound of the Stringphonics that I've heard people play in video embeds on the Djangobooks forum. In this video, I prefer the sound of the Lang guitar over the oval hole... maybe because I'm not 100% all about the gypsy jazz - I like many styles, and as a keyboard player, it would be strange for me to have a bunch of specialty guitar, such as a Selmac. And at the other tonal end, those big old "jazz box" guitars aren't bright enough for me. An in between design, like that Lang model, sounds great, though.
I edited tgis to remove a random timestamp that YT inserted into my post for some reason🤣. Glad I read it back, or people would've been confused about that
Please do that video of history and the evolution of jazz harmony
The curse of modern education
Hi Denis, do you still live in Montreal? If so, still teach guitar there?
i’ll be back for 3 months this summer!!
@@DenisChangMusicThanks for your response Denis. I moved from Toronto to Montreal a month ago and I would love to have some lessons. How can I contact you? I can book this in advance if necessary.
