App for ‘Gypsy Jazz’

[swingtoneman]

Does anyone know if there is an App out there that gives the chords for the ‘Gypsy Jazz’ repertoire?

iReal has a downloadable Gypsy Jazz set.

Mr. Beaumont—many thanks—got it.

While not an app, consider downloading Stephane Wrembel's book of charts: TEACHING | stephanewrembel

My favorite site for practicing: Free Gypsy Jazz Backing Tracks

The nice thing is that you can slow down or speed up the backing tracks. The chords display as you play. They sound pretty good as well.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a web app for about eight months now, with the goal of gathering as many Gypsy jazz chord charts as possible in the spirit of Django — but more importantly, offering live tabs (from Guitar Pro files) to learn melodies and solos from the masters.

The address is GypsyJazz.app - Grilles d'accords Jazz Manouche


This is something I’ve always felt was missing online, so I decided to build the tool I personally wanted to practice with. The app also lets you play backing tracks directly from YouTube, using the tracks I use myself.

For now, the app is accessible through a regular web browser (desktop or mobile), but it will soon be released on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It’s completely free.

I’m currently looking for musicians to test it in real conditions. There are obviously some rough edges and it’s very much a work in progress, but I’d be truly grateful if some of you could give it a try and share your feedback.

To access all features — including the Guitar Pro player and playlist creation with sharing options — you just need to create an account.

Thanks everyone, and let’s keep swinging!
