Hi, Clément here
so, in this video I will talk to you about rhythm in gypsy jazz
and I'll show you a small effect you'll be able to do on the "pompe"
to give some punch and energize your accompaniments
I wrote an article on the "pompe" on which I gave tips
to improve your "pompe"
you can click on the 'i' for info in the top right corner of the video
if you haven't seen this article
and in this article I told you there is one thing to not do to have a nice "pompe"
it's to do effects on the rhythm
because if we're accompanying a soloist
the goal of the accompaniement is to put the soloist in a good light
to make him feel at ease and highlight his improvisation
if the accompanist does many effects, rhythmic changes, tremolos
in the end it'll spoil the thing and the soloist won't be at ease
and it's something you must avoid to have a good "pompe"
In this video I'll try to present an effect that you can do in your "pompe"
a relatively sober effect
which will allow you to enrich your "pompe" without making it bad
so of course as I was saying in the article
those effects are really to be used with restraint
It's like cooking in fact if you're using chilli pepper
if you put just a little it gives a nice taste, it's nice
but put the all bag and it because inedible
so when you're using effects, think about kitchen spices
you have to give it just a little touch to enhance the thing a bit
don't put too much or it becomes bad
So, let me show you this rhythmic effect
so I will do it on Am, E7
So I play a Am6 and a regular E7
this position
so, here is how it can sound
So, here it's a bit exaggerated because I do it multiple times
it's the kind of effect you can do once a chord chart
and even not all chord chart or it can become a bit annoying
so in fact I do a rhythmic variation to revitalize the rhythm
so, the thing I do is
up and down
so here I go back up the strings
and very quickly a downstroke
I will do it once with a metronome so you can realize how to placed rhythm wise
I'll put it on 75bpm
here you go
so in fact you can think of it like
you have to find an onomatopoeia to remember the thing
a bit like a drumer that would go like
it's the bit the effect we try to have on the guitar
I will give you a bit of an example on the "Minor swing" chord chart
so here I did it twice in the chord chart and it's already a bit too much
what you need to absolutely avoid is to think "Awesome I learned a new effect I'll put it everywhere"
you'll do the very opposite of what you're supposed to do
as I said with spices, if you put it everywhere in the chord chart like the pepper it'll be inedible
and your "pompe" will be very bad if on "Minor swing" you do this
if you do that for example the soloist will stare at you
wondering what you're doing
so that's an effect that works if well placed rhythmically
but be careful to use it with parsimony
once maximum at the end eventually to begin the next chord chart
that way it give the soloist a hint to know where he is in the chord chart
but really don't use it too much because it can be a bit annoying
So it was a small exercise on how to enrich your "pompe"
I will make a small summary PDF on all of that
if you are on Youtube you can click in the description there is a link to the website
at the end of the page on the website you'll be able to download the PDF
if you have questions on all of that, ask them in the comments
think about giving a thumb-up under the video
and then that's it for today, see you soon for an upcoming video
