Gypsy jazz on electric guitar
Gypsy jazz on electric guitar: the strumming pattern “la pompe”, in 4/4, with audio on its own page. On the electric guitar a chord progression tends to sound best when you keep the shapes compact and let the amplified sustain hold them, trusting the band to cover the low notes.
A danceable swing born in Europe, gypsy-jazz blends elegance with speed: beneath the dazzling solos sits a dry, steady accompaniment called la pompe — which simply means a rhythmic 'pump' marking every beat. Here you'll find the strumming patterns that power the style's tireless engine.
