Stochelo plays a C# on the 2nd beat by accident.
I changed it to a D (which is what Django plays)

Django thinks F7 to E7 here and subs the dominants for their


"relative" II degrees (C- and B-). Very hip indeed!

Stochelo sticks to Django's fingering here with two fingers. Stochelo generally only does that when it feels more ossia:      
comfortable with two fingers than with four. The "D" in bar 25 on the second 8th of the third beat should be an up stroke.
Stochelo plays a down stroke by accident and actually misses the note. I corrected it in the tab. 15 14

The harmony is at A6 but Django is still on E7, playing F minor here


for a E7 altered sound. This works because in 49 we're still on A6 so
thinking E7 here is just a suspension/retardation.

Sliding major 6/9 chords. As always, putting some chordal "licks" in solos is a great

This lick resembles the standard dim arpeggio


but it is not (it's A7 with a normal 9). Interestingly enough
Stochelo chooses to play this lick with alternate
picking. Maybe to really distinguish it in his mind from
the dim arpeggio with all downstrokes.
