In the style of wawau adler rar

His technique and phrasing is amazing and his vocabulary of licks and tricks seems to be endless. These solos go beyond the normal GJ idiom and contain many more modern harmonic devices that add a very pleasing dimension to his interpretations. I'm always interested in jamming with experienced jazz and gypsy jazz players in the San Francisco - San Jose area. Drop me a line. Bass players welcome! May Posts: 2, I should have wayne add a FAQ to the hyperhip media website but the whole idea behind the "In the style series" is to really recreate the whole immersion feel that is necessary to learning music i really believe music most kinds anyway is a language and a culture; the absolute best way is just to immerse yourself in that world So I thought to recreate as much as possible that feel with great artists such as Wawau Adler, Stochelo Rosenberg, and perhaps more Hehehehe I've basically put them on the spot, by having them improvise on practically every popular jam standard at different tempos and keys sometimes June Posts: Dennis Tell us about the guitar Wawau is using in this great video.

It has such a nice vintage tone! Thanks, Rocky. If you have Euros it is your. June Posts: 1, Let me check my wallet! Oh Oh! Kinda Short! A guy locally has a '06 Eimers that I'll hear this weekend and see how it has opened since last heard in '07 Eimers are very rare in this area! Thanks guys, Rocky. Wawau's guitar is truly exceptional. It's an Eimers model that's been "antiqued".

It has been cosmetically altered to look used. The finish seemed very thin. The guitar is very light in weight and feels very woody in the hand strange phrase now that I read it. Wawau likes to use Martin Silk and Steel strings. The guitar has a full-bodied sound which cuts through without being too biting or trebley. The balance from string to string is very even. Many Selmer-style guitars have weak high E strings but not Wawau's. For a relatively new guitar it has a very played-in sound.

At the end of the first day's shoot, I was wrapping up some cords for the lighting. I had my back to Wawau as he noodled on the guitar waiting for us to finish. I was really struck by how much the guitar and Wawau's playing sounded just like DR. I said to Wawau "wow that guitar sounds just like Django's when you play it". Wawau cracked a big smile. I doubt Wawau would sell it. He seemed very attached to it. I think he feels that it gives him a big advantage over other player's guitars.

He was very complimentary about the guitar and would kiss the neck to show how much he liked it. I believe the guitar Stochelo used in his video is the same model. While Wawau plays many styles of guitar including bebop and modern jazz he has gained an enviable worldwide reputation for performing Gypsy Jazz. But Wawaus musical style goes beyond simply following Djangos musical legacy.

Django made such a strong impression on musicians that it is easy to become lost in the study of Djangos awesome technique. For many players this becomes an end in itself. But what starts out as a noble goal often becomes a trap for the Django enthusiast.

Technical aspects such as speed and volume can cause many players to lose sight of the soul and feeling of Djangos playing.

For Wawau technique plays a secondary roll to the pure artistry of Djangos great music. In The Songs Wawau and rhythm guitarist Denis Chang demonstrate Wawaus style at slow medium and fast tempos on 33 songs in the Django style. The songs were selected to demonstrate all of the common chord changes in the gypsy jazz repertoire.

Although there is no tablature of Wawaus playing viewers will find much can be learned by simply watching and repeating Wawaus phrases. Alternate close-up angles are provided for more in-depth analysis.
