Originally this song was written for mandolin but violin version is famous now days.
By the way Czardas came from the name of hungarian dance people danced in a ‘csárda’ which means pub or bar.
When you have a chance to play with violinists , they for sure know how to play. In this case , probably we play rhythm guitar though. Because they are way louder!

It’s not too hard to play this song except few licks , although it depends on the tempo。
It’s a quite long song to learn but you will manage this.
Sheet Music
Lets have a listen the song first.
There are many sections so i devided the sheet music into 2 parts.
SOLO
I recorded C part only once but often it’s played twice.
＜small tips ; If you are using laptop then space key for start and stop , cursor key left for a few second backward , cursor key right for a few second forward＞
Let’s have a look at intro. Usually it’s free tempo .
Now, it begins. It goes IntroーAAーBBーAーCーBーD.
Difficult part is Gypsy-jazz-down-picking section B , I suppose.
In the gypsy jazz, we play down picking when you play another strings like this. It’s ‘almost’ always do this.
It will take while to get use to this. I think it took me a year or something until I really got this movement.
But of course you don’t have to do this. Some guitarist use alternate picking like rock players. It’s just looking wierd when gypsy jazz guitarists see you using rock picking with gypsy jazz guitar…
