Record store finds
🎶 Found some classic records while digging through the bins in Stockholm 🇸🇪! The Raya record is an interesting one — it features Les Tziganes Ivanovich, which included Petro Ivanovich, a fixture of the Paris gypsy jazz scene from the ’70s through the ’90s 🎸💿✨

is it vinyl or CD? I didn't think they made vinyl if they did!

@Murray Leshner yes it's a balalaika tuned like a tamburitza, if you get bored check out his nephew Bako Jovanovic!

@Rick Spence Correct!
Stacatto on with open strings.
Jimmy - I'm reviewing a video of your Musette lesson in Asheville - I'm going to work on waltzes with walking bass lines. You mentioned elsewhere that open strings are part of the sound. So technique wise, how do you mute the open strings to make it staccato? Do you use your right hand palm?

Chords
Good day everybody. It is here 18.40 in the evening. I have a question In several songs there is for example an A and a D and E , Am and Em. Do you use then A6 en D6. Am6 and Em6? Thnx gr. From Holland

If a song says Am, or Dm, it's a minor chord, if it's A6, or D6, it's a major chord. If you see Maj7, it can often be subbed for 6, or major, but if it just say 7, then you can not sub it for the other major chords...
