Gypsy jazz chords are not really the same as standard jazz chords, often you won’t play the 7 on major or minor chords, but the 6… Sometimes also we play all the strings to make rich and full 6 and 9 chords, in traditional jazz you often only play 4 strings… The 7M are also less used, we use more the 6 and 9…
