The progression is in A and uses the major chord instead of the conventional blues seventh. Jazz has been defined as the coming together of two basic ingredients. The first is the Blues" and the sec- ond is Gershwins “Rhython Changes’. Ze will deal with both of these forms more extensively next time around. But for now it is important to get your blues down. Django wrote several blues and recorded this tune towards the end of his career. Jimmy Rosenberg laid down a fierce version a couple of years ago on a CD for Sony entitled “Sinti".

Again it must be pointed out that the melody is recorded here in it's most simplistic foun. Leam it and add your own embellishments. Dlay ie in as many different positions on che guitar neck as you can find. On the 11th chorus Robin introduces the shuffle feel from the second thythn guitar and this combined with the 4 to the bar walking dase fine pushes the song's dynamic to a climatic end. For base players you can initiate serious harmon- ic tersion by playing an A Pedal note through che first 6 bars of the progression. This device should not be ubesed. Learn to unleash it skillfully.

These techniques, invented by Django, were used to great effect when accompanying Seefar ducting the ground breaking years of the QHCF. Django could inject a whole new level of dynamics t0 rhs ever ensemble he was part of by harnessing these powerful thychmic devices. ‘Django's rhythm guitar expertis evolved into a creative, exciting, vital and most importancly, improvisational voice within a jazz ensemble. Je not just 4 to the bat. Listen to Django and you will heat so much more than that. Armed with juse his Selmer Maccagerie, Django could simulate the vibrant power and swell of a big sol horn section using his famous right hand cresce and out, jabbing at the feel, injecting dynamic fire and flair. He could simulate a drsanmmer in full swing & doubling up his tight hand producing a “shuffle” eype effect propelling the feel forward mowing down everythin an it's path, Added to chi arsenal he could imieate the sound of a vibraphone with ull bll-ike harmonie's te (o technique. On the recordings you can hear the man come i in the upper register. Je mas a totally unique approach. Nobody had done this before. He transformed the sip jazz thythm guitar chair into the only thychm section instrament 0 combine the extended harmony of & par with the percussive thythm of a dram hit. Afeer all dram kits and pianos are not the sore of instruments yo ate going to have hanging around your caravan. He created it out of necessity. Fashioned it to suit his neee and in doing s0 created a one man thythin section and the busis for a whole style of music /jasx ; You're Dragging !

We are continuing our series with another diverse selection of Gypsy J several of Django’s most celebrated compositions. We have included the 1937 QHCF version of “IU E You In My Dreams” which is considered to be one of his masters finest recordings, and “Anouman", petha the mose profound of all the Django ballads and one of the mans final compositions. “('actendrat” is al included due to it’s charming lle, beaneiful melody, unusual form and the fact that ie re-emerged as the so in the recently found studio footage of the RHCF. Also, in response to many requests, we have included several examples (both in diagram and acadio form) of the v ous thyehm seyles played at very slors, easy tempos. From the basi “gypsy swing thythm” co the more advanced ee niques of playing “thython exipler’s” and che even tougher “Django shuffle", we guide you step by step in che fuer development of your skills. As with many of the songs in che QHCF/ Django repertoire, there is a lot of confusion regarding the right « tong chord changes. This generally means that although che song maybe very faniliat, t ends cap not being Hlayed ¢/ often. A lot of the amazing tunes in book 4 have suffered that fate. The eragedy of this is that quite often these tastic songs get lef out of the jam sessions and gigs and people end up playing “/Minor Swing” just one more ti “IU See You in my Dreams" is a classic example of this. Bars 25, 26, 27 and 28 seem to be a kind of writ sal “Hack hole”. Zverybody seems to play che harmony differently and each time this section of the tune tolls ator gypsy jazx musicians look the other way. The same can be said for sections of “Limehouse Blue", “Melodic 7 Crepuscute” and even “Night and Day.” This could not go on.

Jt has a not-so svenon break at the end of the first “A section at bar 6, and a very common break at the end of cad at bat 30. After the solos this is repeated on the last head out of the song leaving the val ewo bare open for the soloist to round it off.

Keeping the pulse with your foot has never been so important as in a thychm break. You se be your own conductor and the physical movement of the foot is your personal baton. Without ou ate risking screwing up the song every time you go around the changes. As a soloist you ate raely responsible for stating the pulse through the break. Jf you don’t then you can't expect the 1 hon section to come in cleanly. If you are a thython section player then it's better not to rely on soloist.
