Django's "Hungaria" for Christmas
Lango-Django
Niagara-On-The-Lake, ONModerator
Merry Christmas to all my GJ buddies... with special good wishes to my regular correspondants BluesBop Harry of Mexico City and Jazzaferri of Victoria BC.
You two guys have done so much to help me in my journey from "spectacularly incompetent GJ guitarist" to "mediocre GJ guitarist"! ---but, hey, if I keep practising, someday I may make it to "adequate GJ guitarist" assuming I live at least three times as long as Django did, and that my wife doesn't kill me with a kitchen knife when I play the same lick over and over and over and over....
Anyway, Django... he sends his Christmas wishes, too.
He appeared in a dream last night and told me that he wants all you guys to learn all his cool licks from "Hungaria" for Christmas.
And then he very thoughtfully broke his 32-bar chorus into short passages which, if you ask him nicely, he'll loop over and over (Command-L) and slow down to half speed (Command-K)...
Then I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "How hard can it be, gadjos? You can play this stuff with two fingers!"

You may have noticed that I've shared several pieces like this one over the past year, but nobody else has ever reciprocated...
Still, I live in hope.

PS Bones, I make the little clips with GarageBand, a program that came free with my Mac... I imagine the same thing could be done with many other similar programs...

Hungaria is one of my fave's of Django's tunes. I'm up to my ears in Jazz theory and 2 exams (working on my Jazz Diploma) but I will look at your stuff after christmas.
Something that I either read or someone told me was that when Django played he often went up and down the neck with his lines rather than across the strings.
