Chords used for improvisation in gypsy jazz

[jazzyguitar]

I would like to know what are the standars chords more used in gypsy jazz, for improvisation. I ve seen many videos of gypsy jazz and I see that there are standars chords positions, tthat are used in the solo.
And of course , please show me the grill of the chords.

By the way, I know that the chords used for the Rythmic guitar in gypsy jazz arent the whole form of the chord.. because they only play 3 notes for each chord more and less... so where can I get the grills of gypsy rythmic jazz chords.

Thank you very much!!!

djangobooks.com has a forum, and they share all sorts of stuff like this. Also there is this group, gypsyjazzguitar : +G Y P S Y J A Z Z G U I T A R+

Between those two, you should be able to find just about anything you want know regarding GJ. Good luck.

This is also a very nice and informative site:

And in gypsy jazz, you doesn´t restrict yourself to 3 note per chord, more often than not you use all six strings.

Like this:

G 6/9

For the low E use your thumb, and for the A and D string you use youre index finger.

Another G 6/9
