No problem. I'm probably the furthest off on the picking pattern for harmonic minor scale in the end. I think now that he stays on the B string until Db note then goes to G string to play a Bb note and stays in that position using open strings.
This is more like how I do it, maybe just a tad different: https://www.soundslice.com/slices/czFDc/
The 1989 live version from Tchan Tchou has a similar intro. Angelo's version on "Gypsy Guitars" is also 1989 so I would hazard a guess that he was familiar with Tchan Tchou's playing and adapted the intro slightly. https://www.djangobooks.com/archives/tchan_tchou_la_gitane.mp3
I think Djangology and Wim have misunderstood the original question which was about Angelo's improvised intro that comes before the waltz tune we all know. If you are not familiar with Angelo's recording from the Hot Club Records CDs; either 'Portrait Of' or Gypsy Guitars', it is on both, there is thirty-five seconds of noodling before he gets into the tune as played by Tchan Tchou as demonstrated by Buco further up the thread.
I did not misunderstand it, but should have been clearer that I'm now replying to the comment on the soundslice which says "I think Angelo Debarre introduced this intro, but I may be mistaken."
Thanks for pointing this out. I rephrase the slice description. 👍
Yep, what drove my answer was more from the title of this thread. Oops, I should have re-read the entire thread.
Yep, I worked out what you were replying to, obviously Rudolfochrist and then Djangology posted their links to the waltz beginning without realising that was not the 'intro' that the original post referred to.
Buco did a good job of explaining it and what he plays sounds right; for what it is worth the version in Romane's book 'Impair & Valses' he plays: Dm E♭ A7/C ♯ Dm Dm E♭ A7/C ♯ and then back to Dm
Thanks Chris. This time I'm totally lost as to where is Romane going with this...
Yeah, thanks to the hint from Buco's video, sounds like Angelo's rhythm player started with a simple 4 chord Andelusian cadence: Dm C Bb A7 , right? (followed by the intro written out by rudolfchrist)
