    One important difference is that it’s a lot harder to get your pick out if you drop it in an O hole guitar. :)

    Joscho, listening to you play over the years has helped lift me from a state of depression, and I just wanted to say thank you :)
  • @stevedouglas7375
    Great information! I've always wondered about the difference between these two guitars. Thank you Joscho for taking the time to do this video!
  • @Matt07373
    I just discovered Joscho’s new album the other day, excellent and beautiful work as always! So glad to see you networking on here for all of us to gain insight on someone who truly understands music :)

    Joscho, sharing your swing & jazz guitar style has inspired me to advance. I have known Lew London for many years. He plays very much in the same idiom. This is a style that takes alot of proficiency to master. Henceforth a treasure to hear. Now I can say I have two very inspirational mentors. You & Lew London. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    This guy is definitely a major talent, one of the best out there. I never appreciated any form of jazz til now......and now I'm thinking on getting a gypsy guitar

  • @butthemeatwasbad
    Could you do a side-by-side playing the exact same examples? It'd be great to hear the tonal differences in range between them.
  • @RockStarOscarStern634
    The D hole is called Guitare à grand bouche, & the Oval hole is called Guitare à petite bouche.
  • @Fitzliputzli23
    Think the o-whole is louder because it sacrifices low frequencies. So, back in the day, when amplification was a problem the o-hole was the soloist's first choice. But to my ears the d-hole sounds warmer and more ballanced. If your style goes a little beyond an exact Django replication I'd recomment the d-hole (wich, btw, still sounds a whole lot like Django ...)

    It was so interesting to hear you play the two different styles, D hole and oval, back to back. I feel now I understand a little bit more about why people might prefer one style over another. Once I learn a bit more and get more experience, I hope to try them out myself someday and see which I like best. Thank you.

    Hey from Milwaukee Wisconsin! My Gypsy Jazz teacher Scott told me the D Hole design was also to accommodate a internal resonator back in the day which blew my mind! Can’t imagine how heavy that was.
