Django Reinhardt
INTRO
Here's a selection of Django Reinhardt transcriptions.
How does this guy play in such a riveting way?
Checking out transcriptions of his improvisations is one way of finding out.
In a transcription there's a lot of material to get stuck into.
Obviously my notes will leave many questions unanswered and some answers, based on my interpretation of techniques employed by the soloist, may differ from someone else's analysis.
I've aimed my analysis at the intermediate+ player.
If you're a beginner you may feel that I've left out stuff that needs explaining.
However, you can be sure an email to me* with your question will get a prompt reply. And there are my other books on improvisation that may help. There's a list at the of the book.
I hope that this book proves to be really useful.
