This lesson is the first of a two part series which explains the scales and arpeggio choices Django used while improvising. This lesson demonstrates how Django used the "Major 6/9 Sound" and "Minor 6 Sound" in his solos. 9 notated and MP3 audio examples are included. 6 of these are musical ideas transcribed from Django and other Gypsy guitarists. 5 pages of text (from my Gypsy Jazz column in Just Jazz Guitar Nov.2004).
