Hi,

Here's an old thread:

Copy of the score:

Chord Chart by Michael Horowitz:

Great composition! Perhaps a swing version should be done of the Star Spangled banner and someone should set their guitar on fire (oh, that's been done...)

I think it's one of his best songs, it also contains one of his best solo improvisations.

Just wondering.

Does somebody know if there is a different Audio or Video file other than the Integrale version of Echoes of France ?

It's a good time to check this tune right ? July 14 is coming up !

Nope there's only one version of it. But you might wanna check the one that Fapy recorded on Star Eyes.

It seems that 2 bars of Michael's chart fit into one of the original : 18 bars verse plus 10 bars chorus. Do I get that right ?

Im at 80 % of learning his solo (WITH TWO FINGERS !!! YEAH) only need to get the speedy arpeggio to the 17 frett of the E string and the first arpeggio , I really want to post a vid on youtube but I dont have a backing track, maybey somebody can record a backing track, I cant because I only know the minor swing backing track ( im a newbie). plz.

Thanks for your help guys.
We played it at the French Embassy in DC this week end. It worked out pretty well :

Could u please please please ! , post the fingerings of the Chord Chart by Michael Horowitz, I want to play the tune when I'm on vacation in Spain, I know the Django Solo out of my head and I can play it with 2 fingers ! 8) 8)

They're all basic chord shapes. Do you play rhythm guitar at all? Just use what you normally would...the chart doesn't show anything specific.

best,
Jack.

I only know a bit about chords and why they are called so. But I can't find chord charts anywhere, and I'm thinking of buying Gypsy Rhythm in the future. Could somebody please please , post the chord fingerings of the Michael Horowitz Chord Chart. please

Like, when there is a Gm chord, I could read it when its posted so
32xxx3 (example, not a Gm chord). But then I need all the chords of the Michael Horowitz Chord Chart

Jack

You can find chord shapes for all the chords here:
[url=http://nuagesdeswing.free.fr/accords/accords_index.html]http://nuagesdeswing.free.fr/accords/accords_index.html[/url]
but you'll still need to know where the root notes are.

To start it off, the G could be played like this:

-5----
-5----
-4----
-5----
-5----
-3----

Maybe I'm still misunderstanding you...do you play [i]only [/i]solos, or do you also play rhythm? Or maybe you know chords by ear instead of name? I just can't figure out how you can play with other people if you don't know some basic chords...sorry if I'm missing something...

Hope that helps,
Jack.
