Today , we are going to learn Douce Ambiance. This is one of the coolest songs Django composed.
Also this song is that difficult to play , so it’s playable for beginners as well.
Ok, let’s begin!
Chords
Let’s have a look at the transcription first.
Cool , isnt it?
There are quite many chords used.
Next is backing guitar.
There is some more chords in different positions to learn. Basically you should be able to play at least 5-6 different positions on each chords.
Solo
Same movie.
Usually I explain the techniques used but It’s almost just aepeggios, so maybe no need to be explained?
This is Django’s original one. Have a listen to it to get the feeling.
Conclusion
As I said , Django’s solos are based on arpeggios, and they are very important in gypsy jazz solo. There’s an arpeggios lesson called ”Daily Arpeggio Lesson” here. Take a look at it as well!
