how to use the transcriptions...

I just got Gypsy Rhythm for Christmas and I have a few questions on how to get going on this massive collection of information. Ideally I would work through the whole book in order, learn everything, and then apply this information to the transcriptions at the end of the book. However, I have some of the basics down already and would like to start learning the GJ repertoire. My brother plays lead and I will be accompanying him. We want to start with the songs listed in "gypsy rhythm" but I am wondering how the transcriptions in the book go together to form a complete song. for example, Minor Swing starts out with the Intro/Outro chords and then goes into the "basic solo changes," can I piece these two transcriptions together and come up with the right chords for the 1937 recording? Any advice would be great and much appreciated.

    Hi...the 1937 version is the one with intro outro and solo changes. Just play that one if you want the 37 version!

    Have fun..

    Thanks. So then are the "intermediate" and "advanced" transcriptions just more technical ways to play the same thing? Would these versions also work to back the 1937 recording?

    yes....they're just more advanced. Some of the reharmonizations in the modern version would clash a bit of someone was also playing the original change and/or Django's solo.
