That first am is in Layla stairway and many others. I find his second position much more useful as a chord unless I want to finger pick all five strings
@@micemr76 Layla doesn't have arpeggio as stairway to heaven (and this tutorial) does, of course there are many songs with Am but not with the stairway distinctive arpeggio
@@ox609 check out Layla again, after the initial few chords😉 just think it's funny how people remember certain chord pos or voicings though the first song they learned. We all did it, nothing personal, just been a long time since I've thought of chords like that. Like the Hendrix chords etc
There are videos on UA-cam teaching arpeggios and their use that exceed 30+ minuets with varying levels of quality and confusion. Some of them are great but Dude your 4 minuet video just taught me more useful information on arpeggios then any of the latter ever have. Brilliant!
My brother…so good to hear/watch you describe what i call the F-A-D system, not the C-A-G-E-D system. The former has half the complexity of the latter. There are only 3 inversions of each major chord, and consequently 3 versions of the corresponding minor chord, as opposed to the C-A-G-E-D idea. Eliminating complexity at the outset eliminates an exponential cascade of complexity.
@@paullennon8586I got the method from a masterclass with Stephane Wrembel before one of his concerts, his book “Getting into Gypsy Jazz” and his video on DC-Music. I love the musicality, simplicity and practicality of the method. You just learn six triad chord forms (three minor and three major). And it’s so easy to add a 7th, 6th, 9th, etc. to them. You make beautiful music right from the start and don’t have to spend a lot of time memorizing multiple forms all over the neck. And it is so much fun! Note: Stephane does not refer to his method as FAD. Have fun!
I ve been using that myself ever since learning major/minor triads on top four strings. It's basically GEC shapes from CAGED, leaving out A and D shapes and leaving out two bottom strings. Nothing new but very useful. Instead of 5 patterns over 6 strings you use 3 patterns over 4 strings.
i have watched a trillion instructional videos on UA-cam and yours was such a breath of fresh air. Such a simple approach to inspire creativity and to enjoy playing without a roadmap. Bravo!
I use these shapes all the time to improvise or to compose my solos. Then I move around the basic shapes, adding b5 , #5, 6 , 7, 9. Très bonne méthode.
Magnifique. Just getting started but this is working out great for me. You have a natural talent for teaching. You explained this in such a way to make me believe I can do it, very motivational. Merci beaucoup
Thank you Chase & Stephane! Stephane- your simplicity & approach and 4 minutes explanation helped me more than 1000 hours practising my born interest for gipsy jass style! Merci!!
Intelligent approach, logical, neat, frank, and I woul say very classical. Thank you to show thes stairs to moove simply with humility and simplicity. Good choice for the sound of the guitar, whatever the guitar. Thank you.
Finally a great explanation and guitar lesson on UA-cam. Thanks for posting, this is very helpful to those people who don’t know chord shapes on their neck. I’m not sure if you have a video explaining that this can be done in all 12 keys and should be done in all 12 keys on the fret board. Again, excellent video just wanted to throw my two cents in keep it jazzy!
I think I've learned more in this video than all other videos I've ever seen combined. This has literally taken me to a whole new level of understanding. Thank you so much.
Also, this IS a great lesson in the fundamentals. With consistent application you can definitely negotiate 'Minor Swing', for example. It aids in fretboard 'visualization' and memorization. Chromaticism is best approached with some caution, but allow me to suggest the 'Gypsy minor' scale in A minor. A-BC-DD#EF-G#A. Try it, you'll like it!
Hey Stephane! How have you been man?! This video just popped up in my feed. This is Nick Anthony from Martha White's Widow. We opened a few shows for you guys in DC and Maryland in the early 2000's. I still see Hessman occasionally. Hope all is well!
The first Am was an stair way to gypsy... "I believe in simplicity" great words, thank you

Sounds more like despacito or whatever that song is
@@lukakrajina9192 wow, first Layla now despacito, I must be losing something (or may be is because I hate that despacito stuff)
I’m a simple man and am grateful to have your simple technique. Thanks
Glad you dug the lesson, Phillip! 🤘
As a very complex man I am also grateful to apply his simple technique.

I was skeptical about this video until the end. Good work sir. I will be using this trick to make it look like I know what I'm doing.
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Simple musical theory is not a trick dude. Great video!!!
Stephane is great guitarist
@@xiltexh6562 the very best I've heard imo
0:47 - You get thrown out of every guitar store before you can play the 2nd shape 😂
Mr. Wrembel thank you so much for sharing these pearls of wisdom in such a clear and succinct manner. Your tone is also beautiful.
I have watched hundreds of guitar instructions on youtube.
This one…4:19 of pure awakening !
Thanks a million !!!
i have watched a trillion instructional videos on UA-cam and yours was such a breath of fresh air. Such a simple approach to inspire creativity and to enjoy playing without a roadmap. Bravo!
What a great video, simple and easy to grasp and easy to apply. It's a shame more guitar youtubers don't make them like this.
Thanks for watching! 🤘
@@ChaseMaddox Hear Here!
Agreed. Feel that a lot of "instructional" youtubers make things needlessly complex to gatekeep and keep people in need. Maybe not even intentionally
Agreed
It's like you're cooking, adding ingredients, creating flavors.
Nice work.
I use these shapes all the time to improvise or to compose my solos. Then I move around the basic shapes, adding b5 , #5, 6 , 7, 9.
Très bonne méthode.
Thank you so much for making this video. I will be practicing these sweeps for weeks to come!
Nice lesson. Will practice this next weekend. Thx
I'm gypsy from Romania and very musical.
teally helpful with the things i am learning. “frame work”. thank you.
That was simply excellent! You're an excellent teacher.

Voila! This is so simple (when Stéphane does it). Great lesson.
Right? He makes it look easy!
Thanks Stephane for showing such clear pathways towards intentional improvising.

I found you can add a dash more color by resolving from the f major into the e major.
A big fan of Stephen...thank u sir..
