Here’s how to play a gypsy-style groove. Django’s Selmer-maccaferri jazz guitar is optional!

1. Choose some jazzy chords Minor 6ths, dominant 7ths, dominant 13ths and the super-cool 6/9 chord sound great. We've opted for Am6. 2. Strum on every beat Count to four to keep time and strum a downstroke on every beat. Emphasise beats 2 and 4 for that typical gypsy ‘la pompe’ groove. 3. Break the chords down Give the illusion of guitar and bass playing at the same time by alternating between the bass and treble strings, instead of playing the whole Am6 chord.
