Djangology

"Djangology" is a gypsy jazz standard written by the great Django Reinhardt. The original recording features Stephane Grappelli on violin.

In my "Djangology" gypsy jazz lesson you will learn how to improvise over the changes and learn the main theme note by note as well as the improvisation. It is full of useful licks that you can use in your jazz vocabulary.

I have provided 6 pages complete tabs where I have marked the right chords ( with the exact position and fingering that I have used to play the rhythm guitar) and the picking patterns for the solo (upstrokes and downstrokes) of EVERY NOTE that I have played here so you can get the maximum insight of how it is played.

The 2 backing tracks included in this lesson are in different tempo - 210bpm and a version which is 25% slower. Depending on your skill level you can choose which tempo is right for you.

There are 10 slow and fast videos showing each section separatelly.

- 3 videos for the main theme

- 4 videos for the improvisation

- 3 more videos for the main theme at the end

The form of the composition is AABA.
