  • Mr. Joscho. I just started your lessons and they are so good! Hi Joscho! One thing I’ve been wondering about as far as the right-hand stuff, is how tight to grip my pick. Whether strumming the La Pomp (I can’t figure out how to make it not sound like reggae yet) or doing the down-up-down, or sweep picking. Do you grip it pretty tight, or is it loose?

  • If you notice there is a clear pick guard under the first string to keep from scratching the guitar.

  • Everybody comments on how can Django be so unbelievable using only 2 fretting fingers. its his right hand picking technique that is so superhuman and faster than the eye can see that makes up for his injured fingers

  • It's techneeeque. Not Technik. Fellow German from Niedersachsen hier. Just a friendly reminder. I too sometimes pronounce it wrong. Excellent playing by the way. Huge fan of yours.

  • Oh no! The red dot played the wrong string! It should have stuck with a comfortable tempo instead of trying to play too fast… : )

  • If you watch the little finger, you see that it anchors the position of the right hand . Not sure just how automatic this is, but it makes a big difference in location of the pick to the string you want to be picking.

  • So the last note is a downward stroke and the next string is struck as a downward also..no coming up on to next string with an upward stroke …wasted motion to me ..not economical picking..i don't know how the gypsy jazz guy's are so fast ..baffling lol

  • That's one of the essential gypsy-guitar-techniques. You come out with a double-down when playing triplets like this. You'd consider a strict alternate motion to be faster. But some players (Joscho included) gain exceptional high speed with the douple-down. Plus, you have a more dynamic expression because you always hit the 1 note stronger than 2 and 3. Thanks for posting!

  • Mr. Stephen is hands down one of the few best guitar players in the world. Accurate and insanely clean playing. For his quality this is not a class, this is public service.

  • Thank you Joscho for a great and focused lesson! When picking at higher speeds, do you still do strict rest strokes, or do you feel that you use the other string as a “psychological rest stroke”, continually thinking about the other string so that you stay loose in the right hand? Cheers and best wishes for 2021, Jz

  • I realized how you're hooking your pinky finger under the strings to give more stability AND at the same time mute strings you're not currently picking. It feels weird for me to do that but I'll try this exercise. More right hand focus appreciated, there is so much to it that often doesn't meet the eye but it's crucial for developing accuracy, speed and clarity.

  • Hey Joscho! Thanks for the lesson! Great stuff! I hope u can reply to this question:

    Do you by any chance have the tabs/lecture for your amazing song "Blues for Stochelo"? I love that melody and would like to learn how to play the main melody. Also want to learn the rhythm guitar part.

  • Love your music and all that you do. WOW! You the man! I am senior and well I love jamming. I know just enough to have a lot of bad habits. Then again I play alone and loud on electric in my house. I may buy an acoustic. I have time to enjoy listening. I have no discipline. So becoming an expert is not my goal. I enjoy improving although experts would probably wonder what I am doing if they heard and saw me. I am a fan of blues and bluesjazz styles for jamming. I adore listening to Gypsy swing music and the many interpretations. Your first Hey Joe is unequaled. The Black Orpheus with Skollelli is delectable.
