New Single Out!
The classic tune by Nirvana, reimagined in the Django style I grew up listening to Nirvana, and I’ve always felt that strong melodies can move freely between genres. When you strip a song down to its core, it’s not so far from the world of Django Reinhardt. Gypsy jazz meets grunge—unexpected, but it works. The full track is out now on Spotify

SLTS was a song everyone could play with only two fingers.
Fingering
Jimmy - this is a Django lick from Si Tu Savais - 1947. Would you finger that starting with the index finger on fret 7 on the B string? We were discussing this elsewhere. You might need to zoom in to see the entire lick.

I would start with index finger on the 7th fret. It makes sense, as a lick over Bm, to be in that position tethered to the 7th fret.

F major and fminor voicing
Goodmorning, in the minor swing song "all of me" there is a F chord voicing and a Fmin chord voicing. On which fret do you guys play those chords. May i have an example of those chords? Thnx greatz from Holland

While playing exactly the same notes, you can bar the c+f with your middle finger, and the d+g with your ring finger. Not only do i find this easier to play in general, (just personal taste). It actually puts your fingers in a great spot to play the 2,5,1s Try cm7, g7, f69 and how you can alternate between g7 and f69 by just shifting your fingers over a string.
Another little ditty for today (more "All of Me")
I started transcribing the Jimmy Rosenberg recording of "All of Me".. I'm pretty positive this record was sped up, because I had to tune my guitar to the recording (it's halfway between a half-step off!). There are some classic lines in this solo!

It's Jimmy, so maybe it was slowed down instead. 😄
