I propose a roast!

JDRooke · November 2023

Ok, folks I propose roasting gypsy jazz... or the practice and practicers of, rather. Be nice, but not that nice. You can go ahead. I hold off starting cuz you all would get pissed off at me.

P.S. All this is, of course, done in the spirit of love with other members of our guitar cult.

So, one GJer says to the other, he says, say there, GJer... trying to help out here. You shouldn't normally make that kind of gender assumption. But, I don't expect anyone to cancel me for this one.

Ba-da-bing. First try.

You should've started with the one to piss us off to get us going.

I don't know....how do you get people to GJ show? You leave a trail of dollar bills.

I love a good roast. I'll help you out. 1 sentence - style over substance. when you listen to django, you hear django. i love everybody that plays gypsy jazz, but i think we can all step it up. let's make 2024 a conscious effort to play from the soul. it's easier than we think. let's take it to the next level. we can ALL do it!

roast done done.

peace!✌️

p.s.

love y'all

I saw this thread and made that resigned scowl that rhythm guitarists make when the soloist takes another chorus and I have to keep pomping…

A GJ jam -- 5 rhythm guitarists strumming overly-loud legato chords (=30 strings), along with a lead guitarist trying to compete one string at at time and playing 50% harder than he or she should.
