Gypsy Jazz on a Budget

- 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.

Here's the link to John 5 playing a Hello Kitty guitar for all the naysayers that claim you need to spend $1000s on a "good" guitar :) • John 5 Plays Hello Kit...
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 ?
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
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...
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.
!!! 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 :)
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 :)
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!
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.
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.
