I almost can't watch this. The passion that went into this. The level of talent... Joscho is just out of this world. Like 90 years ago he just.. jesus. Django would have loved it for sure!
The technique is certainly amazing. But what seems even more amazing to me is the ability to recall the million little licks and phrases instantly, amend them and collate so that they make perfect musical story, keeping the listener engaged from point 1 to END, delivered with lightness and without hesitation. True jazz thinking at amazing level - similar to Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.
I think music at this level belongs to the most underrated and under estimated aspects of human existance.... Kenny Burrell talked about this in a lecture he gave. It's a sad thing that this is not talked about on a greater scale.
@@alainvosselman9960 I agree completely! please could you post a link or tell me where you found that Kenny Burrell lecture? or just point me in the direction of someone who talks more about this sort of stuff...? thanks
@@alainvosselman9960 I agree it is underestimated. As a learner, I'm noticing this type of music contains many repeated patterns which makes it easier to remember pieces than if this weren't the case.
Just love that Blue Drag and it's a tune I haven't heard before. Joscho can sometimes be a bit flash but he has such a feel for the music and an outrageous technique. That fast strumming is just unbelievable. He's possibly the greatest acoustic guitarist on the planet.
It looks like he's unlocked all the right techniques that he can damn play anything he wants. Picking technique, left hand speed and accuracy, controlled vibrato, dynamics, etc. Superb playing Lord Snow.
Joscho, is by far one of my. Favorite gypsy jazz guitarist. I , love. To listen to him play . He is a brilliant guitarist. Also listen to Jimmy,Rosenberg. Another truely brilliant guitarist.
Du fond de mon lit avec le Covid pour la deuxième fois, vous écouter jouer avec talent me donne envie de m'en sortir. Il y a tant de choses agréables, la vie vaut la peine d'être vécue même si elle est cruelle parfois 🙏🎶💓🎶✨
Heya there, I know your time is valuable and I ain't tryna sell you anythin' but would you mind checking out some of my guitar playing on my channel? Just 5 minutes of your time is all I ask. Have a great day!
@@Shredwizard445 Great technique, melody and tone Leo. I also recently picked up a Focusrite 2i2 3rd gen. Keep putting out guitar vids and I'm sure you will start getting a big following.
@@Shredwizard445 .. don't turn into a Django clone either if you can't sing and write your own music go ahead and copy Django but you have competition and you will never be Django bireli lagrene or stochelo so with a marketing of only frustrated guitar player's who listen to gypsy jazz to listen to your music is very slim.
Я , пожалуй, знаю нескольких великих музыкантов , специалистов гитары , ныне живущих и играющих в этом стиле. Смею заверить , сегодня я убедился в том , что этих звёзд на джазовом небе Добавилось , о чем я совершенно не жалею. БРАВО.
There are so many wonderful guitarists in the world that play in so many different styles and genres (there is no doubt about this), but I always seem to come back to the one and only Mr. Joscho Stephan. To me, Mr. Stephan is the embodiment of the virtuosos Virtuoso. This man is just.........I don't have the words to describe how very-very phenomenally gifted this man is on the guitar...just clean, strong pure tone, technique, musical ability.This guy right here, is The Guy (The Guitarist) as far as I am concerned. Clearly I am a Joscho Stephan fanboy (or in my case...fanoldman) and I really don't care because as far as I am concerned (put in the common vernacular) This Guy is the S... and I mean that in the best way possible. I would give you an A+, but clearly you are off the charts Mr. Stephan.
Easily one of the Very Best if not the Best. Although Music is highly subjective to opinions and taste. But I've watched his Versatility, Control, Articulation, Clarity, Creativeness, Technique, Passion, Variation, feel and Speed work. He spurrs me on to improve and to continue to evolve in every way. Thank you Joscho Stephan
Earlier in the video Joscho mentions that the guitar he is playing is a "raffle guitar". Guess who won that raffle and now has this very guitar? ME!! (Actually my wife plays it mostly...). Now if I could just do what he does with it...
I have a tendency to watch my fingers when I'm playing (bass) and I've always remembered a comment to the effect of "if you have to watch yourself play or can't play without looking, you're not that good. I'm glad I saw this performance :)
Je suis d accord. Il est tres melodique. Je ne suis pas guitariste mais harmoniciste. Et c est le guitariste qui me donne le plus d idees transposables a mon instrument.
Joscho is the best of the gypsy jazz guitar players in my humble little opinion. So fast, clean and melodic.....always melodic. And he is also a superb electric player when he picks up a big jazz guitar like a Gibson L5.
@@oldgit4260 Yep, discovered Gary years ago on a VHS tape about Django style music. Saw him in Nashville once at the Chet Atkins Convention. Virtually unknown in America but he is a favorite. Also plays clean and melodic.....must be a gypsy thing. :÷)
Marvellous. Martin Schmidt-Hahn with his warm-sound gypsy-swing-clarinet could fit as well there for after you ve gone, beginning with the subdominate !!
Every time I watch a Joscho video, there’s some point at which I shake my head in disbelief! There are no words to describe the mans technique.
Exact... Dat idd true 👌
Exact!
Extraordinary technique that is in the service of great music.
And he makes look soo easy!
Yes, me too .. total mastery. Incredible ..
Joscho, you made me cry. And I am 64. That was incredibly beautiful and incredibly fantastic playing.
I hope you're joking
@@jmcljazz6733 you aint a fan of him?
@@jmcljazz6733 i never got tears from music

this guy is unbelievable .....ridiculous technique. Just amazing .....
indeed
@maddy If you want tp listen to guitar playing, plus singing, go to Paola Hermosin's channel and enjoy (together with 250K of us).
One of the finest guitarists of all time. This is what makes grown men weep.
Just love that Blue Drag and it's a tune I haven't heard before. Joscho can sometimes be a bit flash but he has such a feel for the music and an outrageous technique. That fast strumming is just unbelievable. He's possibly the greatest acoustic guitarist on the planet.
Joacho has been amazing for awhile! He continues to forge his heights of being among the best and certainly among the living!
Phenomenal talent! It's rare that my lower jaw hits the floor. Total mastery of the fretboard, superb syncopation & an improvisational wizard.
It looks like he's unlocked all the right techniques that he can damn play anything he wants. Picking technique, left hand speed and accuracy, controlled vibrato, dynamics, etc. Superb playing Lord Snow.
I love not just his way of playin' but his sense of humour. Great guy!
hard to believe there will ever be a better , more marvelous guitar player within this style ever....
I watch a lot of guitar videos on UA-cam and this is my favorite. After You've Gone is phenomenal and it makes me feel good when I watch it.
Kakav je ovo umetnik sviranja gitare ! Ovo do sada nisam cuo , a mnogo sam slusao !
Watching from Philippines! 🇵🇭
You bring perfection to a new level! Absolutely magnificent !! Its all in the passion!
Just complete and utter perfection...my word......
I cant play that good in my head.
The playing here is just amazing. I have seen this video at least 20 times. Still have not get tired of it
hi mr. stephan..thank you for serving a good sound for my ears :)))
Best hair in Gypsy Jazz guitar, bar none.
By a mile. The best hair I've ever seen in a man to be honest.
Best damn face. Forget the guitar (I'm joking I'm joking! No I'm not) He is easy on the eye though xx
He looks like someone from my family, but I'm Latino so it's slightly confusing😂@@yuccatree4298
this is one of the things that makes life worth living.

Unfortunitly is Jimmy addictid in druggs

lovely command of the insrument and the world beyond..
Probably the nearest to seeing Django himself in HD.
He is stupendous.
Outrageous talent.
Joscho is taking this style to a legendary level 😱
Amazing Amazing. Amazing Bravo Bravo Bravo ❤.
Joscho…whatever guitar you play the sound is awesome 👍💕
a most amazing player. in a LEAGUE OF HIS OWN!
Fantastic guitar performance!! Extraordinary skill!!!
Bless whoever recorded this concert and put it out there for others.
Joshco, you're the most talented guitarist I have ever heard. Fantastic!
Pretty much gonna turn my guitar into a coffee table after watching Joscho.

You could play like this for sure, or at least a similar level. Just needs at least 6 hours a day of ‘proper’ practice for a lot of years
Du génie dans les doigts, ce mec est incroyable, comme toujours 😀

The best After you're gone ever.
Joscho show us why he is one one of the greatest guitarists today!
You're actualy the Best jazz manouche guitar player. Just not only technic but also great feeling. If only i could....
Bravo! It's just brilliant, thank you so much.

every once a while I come back here to have my mind blown the fk away
Earlier in the video Joscho mentions that the guitar he is playing is a "raffle guitar". Guess who won that raffle and now has this very guitar? ME!! (Actually my wife plays it mostly...). Now if I could just do what he does with it...
What Brand and Model is that guitar. It is awesome. Thanks in advance for any information on the guitar. 👍
Is it the altamira model?
@@apollo8442 Thanks. Saw it on Reverb $999 used, not bad.
I played in that raffle... But obviously didn't win
Gee that's cool. I would never wash my hands again after playing it.
Absolutely amazing isn't it! We could all do that if we started at the age of 5 and had a God given talent. Wonderful beyond words..
What a doll!So skilled and delightful
The Master. Thank You so much for your Kindly.
Joscho is incredibly talented! 😀🥰
Well this video just goes to prove what I've been saying for years. This guy is the guy.
Un GRAND , très GRAND virtuose ! Chapeau bas !!!!!
This Guy is the cream of the Crop. Has to be the best I ever heard.
My new guitar hero!
Someone had to challenge Tommy Emmanuel eventually.
From USA my son & I like this music !
I have a tendency to watch my fingers when I'm playing (bass) and I've always remembered a comment to the effect of "if you have to watch yourself play or can't play without looking, you're not that good. I'm glad I saw this performance :)
Absolutely amazing. Wow.
Genius! That's all I can say.
Evrything of this Guy is perfect
plus je l'écoute , et plus je trouve que c'est le meilleur , le plus créatif dans ses chorus , incroyable de netteté
Je suis d accord. Il est tres melodique. Je ne suis pas guitariste mais harmoniciste. Et c est le guitariste qui me donne le plus d idees transposables a mon instrument.
nOT MANY KINGS OR QUEENS AROUNG ANYMORE, BUT YOU SIR, SHOULD PLAY FOR ROYALTY! WOW!
Seeing is believing. And hearing too of course. Best version ever.
Primera vez que lo escucho y lo encuentro fuera de serie,es de lo mejor que he escuchado en guitarra
So glad I found this guy . He kicks arse !
After You’ve Gone - Wow, you wrung the bloody juice out of that tune, Joscho!
How does that guitar not catch on fire? Holy Crap!!!
I'm speechless & exhausted, unreal
Grandioos Joscho Stephan.
Beautiful guitar music!
pure bliss
Amazing playing!
That's just ridiculous. This guy is so good. I love Joscho.
That was “Awesome ‘“ You have got to be the best😮.
Ein fantastischer deutscher Künstler und keine deutschen Kommentare. Ich bin Österreicher und bei uns sagt man Perlen vor die Säue werfen.
We say the same in English (in English of course!)
The bass, humble and brilliant...
Django would be proud...
Joscho is the best of the gypsy jazz guitar players in my humble little
opinion. So fast, clean and melodic.....always melodic.
And he is also a superb electric player when he picks up a big jazz guitar like a Gibson L5.
Gary Potter is another whizz. check him out
@@oldgit4260 Yep, discovered Gary years ago on a VHS tape about Django style music. Saw him in Nashville once at the Chet Atkins Convention. Virtually unknown in America but he is a favorite. Also plays clean and melodic.....must be a gypsy thing. :÷)
Lieber Herr Joscho Stefan, .. wunderschöne Gipsy Musik😎...charmante Anmoderation zwischen den Stücken...freu mich auf das nächste Konzert ..
What a phenomenal performance! The James Brown quote was a fun surprise too!
Cold Sweat 😓
Sex Machine
Wow! Great performance Joscho.
Marvellous. Martin Schmidt-Hahn with his warm-sound gypsy-swing-clarinet could fit as well there for after you ve gone, beginning with the subdominate !!
That's a perfect - sounding upright.
Шикарно! Виртуоз!!!!!!
Che persona magnifica! 👏
Genius!
YOU ARE A GENIUS! STOP.
Picasso had no talent or genius at all in a sense of humor.
Hilarious and fantastic as well 👍
Once Again........AMAZING
EPIC PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUE IS INSANE.
Siiiii muy fantástico.. De otro planeta, extraterrestre
Fantastic
Спасибо огромное за музыку!!!! 💐🕊️🎸
His vibrato is so great. If there's a player somewhere in the world with a better right hand I'd like to see it.
It's a diferent kind of music, but try "Choreco" of the great Brazilian Yamandu Costa
jimmy rosenberg, also has the nicer vibrato.``
Wow.. Awesome as ever Joscho..👏Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶
Maestro !!!!
Great musician
Top serviert! John pizzarelli und joscho diesen Song Performen...... Hammer Vorstellung
His playing matches his personality- funny and playful but in complete command
Man, he couldn't wait till she was gone:) NT
Great guitarist!!
Just how ? So gifted....
80% gravity picking, 20% magic
Mind-blowing!
