Let’s learn Hungaria composed by Django Reinhardt.
Actually I didn’t know Djando composed this song. I though it was somebody else.
Anyways, let it begin.
Transcription
The original tempo is faster than this but this tempo is quite comfortable for many people to play I suppose.
Hungaria Chord tabs
Rhythm guitar is like this and repeat from 5th bar to the end.
Only one thing I have to mention the chord shape is that G6’s shape.
You have to use thumb to press 6th string and you might have a trouble to do so at the beginning but you will get used to it.
I use a tip of middle finger to press 5th string and bit of upper part of middle finger press 4th string. Try not to use a finger belly. It won’t work.
Solo
I will explain some of licks why it’s like that.
12th bar on E7, It’s used Bb note because Bbdim is a substitution of E7 and Bbdim has Bb,C#,E,G notes. That’s why you can end the lick on the note. Or you can think this E7 is E7b5 as well.
19th bar , the chord comes from next bar to play earlier and 20th bar is you could think D79#5/C. Some people might think different but this makes sense to me.
When you have time, you can study the licks and try to explain why it’s like that to yourself. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense at all but sounds nice so don’t think too much!
