Rhythm Overview
Ben gives an overview of the main gypsy jazz rhythm feels, including two-beat swing, bossa, waltz and bolero. This sets up the next stage: building chord shapes, voicings, rhythm variations and voice-leading ideas so you can start moving around the neck with more freedom, rather than staying locked to one static chord shape.

2. It's All About Minor 6
Ben explains the minor 6 sound at the heart of his gypsy-jazz approach, linking it to Django’s chord shapes, the Dorian flavour, and the darker, more aggressive side of the style. The aim is to understand where that sound comes from before building it into rhythm, lead lines, chord variations and improvisation.
