World-class guitarist Joscho Stephan on gypsy swing and guitar basics

[Dieter]

Here is a very interesting video with Joscho Stephan, a world-class German gypsy swing guitarist who performs mainly in the USA and with great guitarists such as Tommy Emmanuel. In the video, he explains how he learned to play the guitar and found his way to this style. Above all, he shows very clearly how to practise and play the basics of melody, rhythm and other playing techniques. (and this is not only helpful for swing jazz, but for guitar playing in general.)

Thanks for the post Dieter, it’s always refreshing to watch a genuine and extremely talented musician talk and play as Joscho did.
