More Gypsy Jazz Styles?

[rafgar56]

I found just one gypsy jazz style. It's possible to have (also paying) others?

So far, only "le pompe" is available. (Jazz - Gypsy Jazz) I prefer to turn the drums "off".
A gypsy bossa style has been discussed, but hasn't been developed yet.
In the mean time, experiment practicing Bossa Dorado with some of the other available Latin rhythms.

I'm going to post here rather than create a new thread....

Please (please please please) correct the Gypsy Jazz style in the next iRealPro update: currently beats 2 and 4 are louder than the 1 and 3. This is what la pompe sounds like when played by beginners who are doing it wrong. The four beats should be even in volume with the 2 and the 4 slightly shorter but not louder.

This isn't just my opinion either. There are teacher videos, forum threads, and instruction books all in agreement on this specific characteristic of gypsy rhythm. Please help us out so that you're reinforcing good habits. Thanks, Bob!

Thank you for your suggestion.
Could you please post a link to the YouTube instructional video that best illustrates your point?
Thanks,

Here's Fanto and Yayo Reinhardt backing up Romane:

Here's Fapy pomping for Tchavolo where you can see he's not slapping at the 2 and 4:

Finally, here's two angles of Paris rhythm player Matthieu Chatelan with Adrien and Michael Gimenez:

This second angle points at Matthieu so his rhythm is more prominent:

Hey Bob,

One other thing: when you fix the volume issues with the Gypsy Jazz style you should have the drum volume set to zero by default. There's never drums in gypsy jazz as the rhythm guitarist is the drummer.

Thanks!
