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.Last edited by dogletnoir; 10-06-2021 at 08:41 AM.

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.

You're just playing a jazz standard composed by Django.
You play your stuff and this is ok.
Nice band with mandolin.

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.

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

Accompaniment on the mandolin is very difficult and sometimes single notes stand out creating a little mess.
