Tchavolo Licks

Phil

anyone care to take a stab at explaining Tchavolo's approach? I was watching the "Swing" DVD of Tony Gatliff's film...the short solo piece by Tchavolo in the restaurant where he starts to speed up...he uses a typical Tchavolo repeated fast phrase/lick pattern...anyone know the fingering for that..as he uses it often elsewhere?

Cheers

Don't know that one but I love this one from the film 'Latcho Drom' - it's the opening to the solo he plays on Tchavolo Swing...

Love those open string runs - played with great intensity!

The piece is titled Arc-en-ciel (I believe it's from Romane originally) and there's a transcription (which I found on another forum) here:

You should be able to find your licks in there.

This song is credited to Tchavolo and Mandino ... and I would suggest listening to Romane's "version" again.

My ear isn't perfect. Can anyone tell me what they think the chords are to Tchavalos "Intro" to All Of Me ?
