Because it&#8217;s fast, that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s difficult. That means, practice slower til you get it.<\/p>\n<p>Once you get this song then speed up the tempo little by little.<\/p>\n<p>By the way there is a place called &#8221;Belleville&#8221; in paris and you see Django&#8217;s name and things related to him there. If you have a chance , go there and feel him. That made me feel very good somehow.<\/p>\n<h2>Belleville chords<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a look at the transcription.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\"><iframe title=\"belleville django reinhardt\u00e4s solo transcription\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h05sZwGXmXE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is chord tabs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2253 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gipsyjazznyumon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bel1-min.png\" alt=\"belleville django reinhardt , gypsy jazz , chord tabs\" width=\"1520\" height=\"701\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2254 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gipsyjazznyumon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bel2-min.png\" alt=\"belleville django reinhardt , gypsy jazz , chord tabs\" width=\"1523\" height=\"701\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This progression stays to the end.

So you could play octaves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2255 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gipsyjazznyumon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bel3-min.png\" alt=\"belleville solo tabs , octaves\" width=\"1524\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing I have tell you about gypsy jazz picking . The pic below is from the lesson video, and these arrows indicate down picking and up picking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2256 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gipsyjazznyumon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/73a17b63d74364d18bdcd3bfdd9ca8a4.png\" alt=\"\u30b8\u30d7\u30b7\u30fc\u30b8\u30e3\u30ba\u3000\u30d4\u30c3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\u65b9\u6cd5\" width=\"811\" height=\"227\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you see, when you play new strings , you always start with down picking. Usually Always. This takes so much time to get used to this but this is an unique gypsy jazz technique . Be patient and practice.<\/p>\n<p>I think , that&#8217;s it. There isn&#8217;t much to explain on this song.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ep-box es-BiconBg icon-pushpin bgc-VPlime\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manouche-jazz-lessons.com\/en\/items-for-gypsy-jazz-guitarist\/\">Must-Have-Items for gypsy jazz guitarists<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manouche-jazz-lessons.com\/en\/popular-gypsy-jazz-method-books-for-self-taught-guitarists\/\">Popular method books for self-taught gypsy jazz guitarists<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/manouche-jazz-lessons.com\/en\/djangos-tiger-lesson\/\">Django&#8217;s tiger &#8211; Django&#8217;s solo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belleville is a quite famous song, so you might have tried before.
