Can some one share the chord intro to this tune? The head is rather straightforward, but I'm getting a bit stuck trying to figure out the intro (as played by Bireli on the "Live in Paris" video, for example). I'd appreciate some suggestions that don't include buying (another) book. Thanks in advance!

    I do hope you will buy my book as soon as I will publish it but in fact Django's intro is quite simple :

    x 0 5 6 6 5 A7#5
    x x 9 10 10 10 Dm


    then on B and G strings one finger on each fret :

    10 11
    13 14
    11 12
    10 11
    8 9
    5 6
    6 7
    10 11
    9 10
    8 9
    6 7
    5 6
    8 9

    change on G and D strings same thing with 2 fingers chords:

    7 8
    6 7

    and then something like Bb diminished arpeggio till harmonic on E string 12th fret (I know this is not exactly the way Django did the last phrase but
    I haven't the tune now to check)

    Best

    I'll definitely buy your book Spatzo. :D This is pretty close to Django's "Clair de Lune" intro:-

    Thanks to all who've replied with helpful tips.

    Spatzo, you'll have to PM me your real name so I know which author to be on the lookout for!

    Again, thanks all!

    Tks Teddy, as I said before I just forgot the true end!

    I was just kidding for the book of course, I prefer to give everything I know instead of selling it
