J'attendrai Video Transcription

opus20000 · November 2015

I've been searching far and wide for a transcription of the famous Django J'attendrai video, mainly the intro chord part and can't find it anywhere.
I would of thought someone would of transcribed it.

I believe you can find that in this excellent book:

I always try to find video covers on youtube when working on learning new songs. The intro is pretty easy so I think you wont have too much trouble learning it by ear and eye from this video:

If I get some spare time I am gonna transcribe it.

Edit: I have read poorly, thought you were searching for the lead part. My apologies.

Here is Hono playing it. So I guess if you want to get the right transcription one way is to join the DC lessons.

I meant the chord melody part, but you're right Nejc. I think this guy's close:

Yeah, I would also be interested in a good transcription for this .. the only decent footage of django, surely somebody has done it !

Django's solo intro to J'attendrai is one of my favorite pieces and also one of the first things I was compelled to learn (& make awful video;) early on in my GJ musical journey! Such a sweet lil' intro that stands on it's own... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m-gsttcvK38" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Posting this in case of someone looking for this in the future. I did this video for my own sake because I'm gonna forget how to play this thing at some point for sure so now I have a reference

I was going to say, I'm pretty sure I saw that on Soundslice! Of course, the OP asked in 2015 when Soundslice was probably just a twinkle in your eye...
