What about doing the whole quintet history on Uke? The whole 142 tunes Django played with the complete repertory of the first HCQ string quintet fully diagrammed on Uke- ready to be played? Who is ready to participate and try to do the job? The Djangobooks forum scoop!!! 2026/2027 the year the things went really mad... 🤣
Of course that's only a joke... no it can't be true!!! 😎 well who knows...
I thought I liked the academic spatzo but I like this one even more 🤣
Thank you spatzo for the"Daphne" uke chords and now the other songs also! They sound very clean and nice on my low G concert!
Nine years back on this forum Samy Daussat posted a GUITAR video for "Daphne" with the 3 note chords on the lower 4 strings but leaving out the the Bm7 and it plays fine on both instruments. Just an option for less movement and a little more space for solos on the key chord DM. Nice work spatzo!
Is that the video he did with Brad Brose for some Django in Paris meet up? If it is the one I'm thinking, I wrote the link down somewhere and then when I want to try to practice/learn it, I can never find it. Do you have a link?
No link - I searched posts here from Sept. 17 2017 and I found no archive. I have a hand written transcribe of his GUITAR chord progressions which I can post tomorrow if interested. Two many years back to remember if anyone else was accompanying Samy!
It (Daphne) was one of MikeK 'song of the month' last year. Related threads with the video links:
adrian also posted a little slice with the voicings
That's the video I was thinking about! Thanks @wim!
@B25Gib I jotted it down on a piece of paper once too....now, where I put that paper....😂
Great choice of chord positions from Sammy Daussat! Sounds good Master!
I must add a tune to illustrate how to play the upper "Valentine" sequence on the first two bars of a well-known tune. The sequence in some positions can be considered as unplayable but here's a solution changing the string used to descend to the 6th. Of course you are not obliged to play the Valentine each time you play an A, you can also just play 2 bars of Gm...
(I don't illustrate the lower Valentine as it is easier when the root of the chord is on the low G string because then only the lowest note goes down stepwise and changes the nature of the chord m=>m▲7=>m7=>m6...)
Better G9 or G7? Following the melody (G= '"swing") it should be the G7 as having a G on top but you can also play only the two lowest notes...
Here's the tune (2 chords = 1 bar)
Here's the second part: (Remember to play another A at the end of the bridge)
