Beautiful!

Nice job, Wim! I like the harmonics at the end of one of the phrases. :-)

Hi Wim and Adrian,

Both your interpretations are superb and well grounded into the true Manouche style which I never had the time and opportunity to absorb like you did so elegantly.
I really enjoyed listening to them and I believe you have great careers ahead of you.

Blessings,
Abel

Hello, what a great tune. Has anyone ever gotten the tab for the melody? Can't seem to locate the chord progression either the links aren't working on my computer. Might have to try to transcribe it from the video but hey I'm lazy so I thought I would ask. Way to go Stephane and Adrian...
Thanks everyone, any help is appreciated.

no chords but i'm sure you can find them.. if you are interested, i transcribed the chords used by Roy Williams (Stephane's rythym player) off one of their video's,,, they sound cooler than the basic chords..
best and enjoy

WOW that's awesome, I'll be working on this tonight. Sure I would love the chords if you have them especially if you enhanced them a bit. I know it's a basic Em progression but if you have em and want to share that would be great.
Many many thanks jlander9.

Hey, I've posted the full chords here, along with some tab (which I'll continue to fill in):

FYI, I just started looking at the tab on the Patrus website and just in the A section looks like the fingering is quite a bit different from Stephane's so I found this link on Youtube and I'm going to check Stephane's fingering and try to find what works best for me.

Adrian, I had to load Firefox to view the tune on Soundslice, great job...
As far as fingering I like mixing them up, it does produce a different sound and keeps me thinking and not getting bored. Like the diminished scale (A section) I will start on the 5th string B note instead of the 6th string B note. Might suggest learning both for the simple reason of learning the fingerboard, I'll also use the high B note on the 2nd string instead of the B note on the 6th string (same scale). It really stretches things out and adds just a bit of newness to the cliche.
Great work everyone and many thanks. Need to work on the C section now.
The chords are exactly like Indifference and if you don't know this tune learn it, it's a very nice waltz standard.
Many thanks to everyone.

Doesn't he omit the F#7 chord and just go straight to the B7??

thanks

edit, looking at this vid his accompanist plays C7 B7 I think (not that it makes a huge difference).

Also, he uses some nice chord voicings.
