Fooling around with a Django shape

Lango-Django

interesting! Thanks!... Here's a variation on your idea-- all triplets except the final note.

(Oopsie! that final note was just edited to correct a previous error!)

I don't actually know what chord this is spelling out, but I suspect it's some kind of augmented chord, because it sounds pretty cool when you repeat the exact same pattern from two frets below the original starting point...and then you can do the same thing again from two frets below that, etc...

Tres impressionistique!

Come to think of it, the previous pattern sound equally good, and probably more "augmented" by changing the third shape slightly as follows:

--------------------------
-----------9-------------
-------9-----------------
---8---------------------

------------------10-----

Note the latest comment by Harry E in the discussion group above this one, "Licks and Patterns", in discussing the transcription of Sebastien Giniaux "Hungaria":

I like moving that shape up (the full one you are talking about in the other forum) in whole tones over a dominant chord, to get that altered whole tone sound; its quite nice.

What a great idea, thanks for sharing it, Harry!

I've been fooling around with this idea a bit and I like it because it reminds me of some of the whole tone stuff that one of my idols Bix used to play...
