Seul Ce Soir

Elliot

Got the chart, but hoping someone could provide the correct inversions to this tune. I'm using the L'Esprit Manouche Tchavolo video, which is in the key of G.

Many thanks!

Jason

Hi Elliot,
Use your ears and find the inversions that best suit your own interpretation of the tune. I could tell you exactly the inversions I use, but you would learn nothing of value from that. Best wishes, Jason

Hi Elliot,

I think Jason is on the right track here; I doubt Tchavolo plays it the same way every time, even though everyone has their pet voicings. If you're stumped for some of the basic "gypsy jazz" voicings, take a look here:

That's cool...could you do me a favor and tell me what chords that have a for example 7e or 9e mean?

Jack

They're just 7th and 9th chords...

Jack.

"e" is the French version of "th", as in septieme (seventh)

Elliot

Eanks!

Just to follow this up, I've completed this 'assignment' which probably took me about an hour, but to tell you the truth, I really didn't learn anything until I consulted p. 23 Vol 3 in Cosimini's. After all, we all know what the basic chords look like, right? But I wouldn't EVER have come up with e.g. 3322XX for a C6 chord, which is the kind of thing I had thought was open to discussion in this section, as I read in the sticky.

TNT,

Hi Elliot,

I wasn't trying to discourage sharing ideas, I've just found from my own experience that I at least learn more when people point me in the right direction and let me loose. It seems like once people are presented with what someone else thinks are the 'RIGHT' answers, they too often accept them outright and stop looking.

That C6 chord you mention that you wouldn't EVER have come up with is one of the examples given on the page I suggested above:

So it does pay to dig into what people offer, even if it seems like a chore at the time...Feel free to ask more questions if need be, and I'll be glad to offer what I can...

Best,
Jack.

Has anyone transcribed the head to this tune? or isout there on the web somewhere. I like Tchavolo's version and I used to have that L'eM video ut I loaned to a kid and never got it back.So I can't use that anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
