Just figured out the chord grille from this song, from "Playback La Pompe" on youtube (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUa_1tz3LW0&feature=sdig&et=1254101089.06).
I'm interested in this tune, but haven't seen anything in the way of gypsy players doing it (might have just missed it) - anyone know of a recording of this?
[By the way - can anyone confirm that the A7 at the end of measure 15 is, in fact, an A7b5/F#? - first played at about 1:03].
-Paul

best,
Jack.
Confusion over the progressions I see here, v. what I saw from what he played, and what he presented, the chords, onscreen.
I suspect I'm not home enough in harmony theory to be able to understand why what I'm seeing may be, in essence, the same thing I'm seeing now in terms of chords/progressions. Here's the tune, as I had it:
F Fm C6/9 A7 D7 G7 C6/9 G7
C6/9 G7 C6/9 C6/9 C6/9 E7 F/[A7b5/F#] Dm6
G7 G7 B7 C D7 % E° G7
C6/9 G7 C6/9 C6/9 C6/9 E7 F/[A7b5/F#] Dm6
-which seems like a mess, to me (not what I'm accustomed to seeing, in terms of standard progressions), but I believe that's what the player had, yes? And playing it through, I like the sound....just doesn't "look" right....any thoughts?
(In the video, the A7 - is he not playing it A7b5/F#? (I've got it at measures 15 and 31).
pas encore, j'erre toujours.
C6/9 G7 C6/9 C6/9 C6/9 E7 F/[A7] Dm6
G7 G7 B7 C D7 % E° G7
C6/9 G7 C6/9 C6/9 C6/9 E7 F/[A7] Dm6
F Fm C6/9 A7 D7 G7 C6/9 G7
About the A7, I don't see/hear a b5; it looks more like a shape similar to this:
--3-
--2-
--0-
--2-
--0-
--2-may be just muted...
Hope that helps,
Jack

At any rate, Jack, can I just say "duh," and if I look sufficiently :oops: -faced enough, can I be let off the hook? ...guess it "sounded good" because it was the right chords, just from the end of the song on....
Thanks again...

Don't know about one that Django did,but being you're from
Chicago, I became familiar with this song as it was a regular
in Steve Goodman's repotoire. He recorded it a couple of
time, last one I know about was a remix on the tribute
double cd. He did it live a lot.
Thanks, Gary. I'll try to find it...the only one I'm seeing is a single tribute CD:

But I'll keep looking.

for the A7 in this playback i just made a regular A7 with open string..((cos it was convenient and close to the F shape that i did))
thats not a (gypsy jazz chord for sure)) but well as long as its sound like a A7 for me its ok
so here the shape in fact its the basic A7 shape ....i dont use it often i think its my first vid where iam using this shape
have fun

((and i just play the 4 string in the middle? (maybe?)))
otherwise yes the 8 first bar are in fact de 8 last bar((of fats waller singing) i used as intro cos its hard to start on time while following the recording
so best is yea to sing the first 8 bar before start to play..
then start
..trying to follow the recording of fats wallers on this one (but without all the nuance..cos these guy where great.. unlike me
