    Interesting thing they've done with the background chords.

    I have been and still am quite busy so I don't find quality time to learn tunes and make video clips. Donna Lee is out of reach for me anyway but I think I will learn the head at some point. I haven't even listened much - shame on me. Playing around with Nuages but don't expect a clip fro me - sorry....

    I'm amazed, delighted, staggered, and overwhelmed by the playing from the guys on this thread, and other threads in the series. It really is wonderful. Great playing and well done one and all. Some serious and tasteful talent.

    Here's a solo guitar version i did about a year ago, using a guitar that's about as far from the gypsy jazz world as you can possibly get (a .strandberg* Boden Metal 8):

    i'll try to get a newer take recorded soon.

    I'm not a gypsy player... don't have skills. I subbed for this group and then somewhat became a member... and after covid BS, started playing some outdoor gigs , even have friends from this forum sit-in. Anyway someone recorded some tunes from one of my early subbing gigs with them. I was playing from their book, I'm still working with them, different drummer.

    Reg,
    Nice.
    I think you don't have to be a gypsy player to play Nuages.
    You're just playing a jazz standard composed by Django.
    You play your stuff and this is ok.
    Nice band with mandolin.
    Best

    The music says G, but i usually play it in F, so my fingers keep wanting to go to places they shouldn't, LOL.
    Eh bien, c'est la vie, ouais?
    Played with 2 fingers on the fretting hand, just for the heck of it.

    Hey Thanks Kris... yea it's fun. I don't think I had played nuages for 25 to 30 years before that gig. I've been playing Sunday afternoon outdoor gigs with that band with new drummer, really good player, for the last couple months. We have a lot of fun... tunes change every time we play them, I give lots of live verbal cues, and play with forms etc... and keep us on the edge. Audiences seem to enjoy, LOL

    I have no idea what technology was used to make Allan Holdsworth's guitar sound like that (a synth probably), but man that is beautiful music.

    I've heard a few minutes of other takes just from Jeff and Kris which also sounded excellent, "pro" if you like.

    Reg, nice take...like the sound with the mandolin, for sure. Definitely doesn't need to be a "gypsy" tune...I might like it more NOT in that style...

    Dogletnoir, the solo take was fun...an 8 string...dang. But I really liked your second take...tasty playing, great tone...liked everything about that.

    Let me see if I missed any...

    I did miss a few...

    John, nice to see and hear the SelMac. I should play mine more...They're fun guitars...I liked your take of the melody, and the bit of flash in the solo. Good stuff.

    Rag, I like the Bolero...this tune definitely adapts to different takes in style, which I think is a testament to a strong melody.

    Yup, I thought the Bolero was more fun than the usual Bossa.

    Well, it's probably time for the traditional last blast. I wasn't going to post this but, as it's such an exquisite rendering done with infinite care, I thought I'd let you have it. If you'll excuse the expression

    One thing about playing in a band with a mandolin.
    The mandolin must not be too loud, especially when you are playing a solo.
    Accompaniment on the mandolin is very difficult and sometimes single notes stand out creating a little mess.

    Although the thumbnail shows him playing his early 80s Charvel single pickup S-type guitar, that track was definitely recorded on the SynthAxe.
    Go to about 12:44 in the video to hear what AH has to say about it:

    There's a lot of SynthAxe on the 'Atavachron' and 'Sand' albums:
