Mir ist aber schon klar dass man dieses Grab haben muss wenn man Zigeuner-Jazz-Rhythmus spielen will.

Like a little shuffle at the end of a line or ringier full minor-7th chords, or tremolo at the suspenseful parts like on Nuages, the Fm - B7- Em part.

While at the site I looked at Michael Horowitzs book, Gypsy Picking.

The book highlights the rest-stroke picking technique, which Horowitz describes as a characteristic feature of Django-style gypsy swing.

Does anyone know what the rest-stroke picking technique is, and if its applicable to mandolin Also, has anyone used the Horowitz book, and can it be adapted to mandolin (or in my case, mandola) Heres the link to the book: Thanks, James.

Mandolin playing is dominated by downstrokes, and those conceptually should pass through the target string in a generally inward direction towards the soundboard to come to rest on the next string down (e.g., the pick should drive in through the a course and come to silently rest on e).

I find I can use a lighter touch than on guitar (i.e.

I dont use the 3.5 Wegen on the mando-overkill for me).

Im going to be moderator of the gypsy mando board at the djangobooks.com site, so fall by and chat sometime.

Gypsy Jazz in the traditional form is very even quarter notes- chank chank chank chank.

Listen to the guys backing Django, and then listen to any comper playing behind Bireli or any of todays players- it is very very straight rhythm.

Thats not to say you HAVE to take that approach, and when Django comped, he played OVER what they are doing, more like the way a modern pianist would comp- hits and lots of space rather than a constant slamming.but if you want authentic, there you go.

Gypsy Picking By Michael Horowitz How To Play Jazz

On the rare occasions that I try to remember how to play jazz, its practically identical.

The mechanics of execution may be similar, but the rhythm is different.

To reiterate John, the rhythm guitar is pretty much going chop-chop-chop-chop on every beat with occasional syncopated bits for added interest in swing.

I was surprised to see that he mostly played down strokes.and this included the rest-stroke you folks are describing where he would stop on the next string.

Ill tell ya from my observations, there are parallels to Monroe style down stroke melody Django style melody, but without the rest-stroke of course.

Maybe this is part of the rhythmic drive I like in both styles.

If you do that with aGypsy style player, theyll correct you fast, steal your Harley and call you a gadjo.

There are lots of parallels bewteen Monroe, Django, Chuck Berry, Oud music, Metallica, Pantera.those downstrokes are crucial.

Would be better if we could all sit around and listen to a demo together.

For a small fee. For my.02, what I keep hearing is what the flappers all danced to, Whack-a-doo, whack-a-doo, with variations on cadence.

Subtleties on slight upstroke brush for that -a- between the whack - doos.

Its hard to hear how your rhythm is sounding in the midst of the gypsy guitar tsunami.

But if you record yourself trying it sometime, especially against some track like Horowitz, Nolan, or the others, its definitely ear-opening.

I find that if theres already plenty of ample guitar rhythm going on, its good instead to take advantage of the mandolins nimble bounciness to do rhythm accents.
