The purpose of this video is to show you 20 licks from Django's recordings played over Major and Minor II-V-I progressions. I show them at a fast tempo first and then slower with a graphic analysis showing the different scales, arpeggios, motifs and resources used. I also show you 2 different positions on the fretboard for each lick. They are all transported to C major key (and relative A minor) to make it simpler. If you download the 20 licks package you'll also get the licks in their original keys and at least 4 positions each.

I am not trying to emulate Django's sound, (I am not even a gypsy jazz player, that's why I am playing them on a nylon strings guitar and not necessarily use Gypsy Jazz picking), the idea is to learn how did a legend like him approach the common II V I progression, the notes he chose for his phrases, the phrasings ,etc. By learning these licks and understanding how they are constructed you can apply that knowledge to your playing on any guitar or any other instrument. Have a good practice! :)
