Beginner Question: Daphné

BluesBop Harry

Great bro! I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. It's great that you found the mistakes, that means your ears are good.
I'd do more transcriptions but I don't have a scoring software anymore and so the solos I learn I just commit to memory.
Those Rome sessions are some of my favorite of Django's, he was bluesier and played with a lot of fire.
The solo from Swing 42 is so lyrical and has a lot of interesting timing. Music just seems to flow from the man's heart.

I agree jazz manouche is really hard, it gets a little less hard the more Django you know I think.

Hope to meet you at a festival and do some jamming!

New to the forum - excellent thread here. Answered so many of my questions and enforces just how much I need to study the chords and their arps! Amazing how deep into theory this can spiral - and to think this style of music was passed down by demonstration around a camp fire!
