I know, it's not pure gypsy jazz but pomplamoose's renditions of Les Yeux Noirs and Nuages leave me yearning for more songs in the gypsy jazz style with lyrics to boot.
A search on youtube brings nothing but AI slop
Hey all, when crossing strings with downstrokes, is there also an effort to keep downstrokes landing on the beat?
Say you’re playing something like an ascending line starting on open B string to open E string, then continuing up the E string to the octave (just a simple scalar run). If you strictly keep downstrokes on beats, the string change can sometimes force two downstrokes in a row before you’re back into alternate picking.
That starts to feel pretty awkward at speed.
How is this usually handled in practice?
