I'm really stuck for the intro to Djangology, if anyone could help me please ? I need it for acoustic guitar , but I promise that I will transcribe it to E9 and post my effort here ... how's that ? Thanks in advance.

I admire your ambition, Ingo.

Can't help you with the transcription, but if you go to this site there are several books of transcriptions -- not sure exactly what's what. Perhaps you could contact some of the 'cult of Django' -- the guys that play the Maccaferris and hold their cigarette between their thumb and forefinger.

Thanks for the link Larry, I'll definitely be chasing that up.
At the moment I can just about bluff that intro on an acoustic but it will take another bit of practice before I actually let anyone hear me playing it, even though I do have a good sense of humour

Thanks again Larry.

Hey Ingo my friend !!!
You want to play any Django stuff you got to burn a couple of fingers off first and grow a mustache.......I used to hav a Djanjo book years ago but I dont know if that tune is in it.......if I find it....well I get it to you somehow......either that or go see if Diz Disley is still alive in London....Django is his bag too!!!

"Django Rheinhart".....boy, does this post take me back. When I was young and still foolish enough to be working with a road band, we (the band) were invited one night to an after-hours party after our regular western-swing gig.....where we listened to jazz until the wee hours of the morning...which included Django.

Our host, a New Mexico rancher, had a black lab with puppies, and he gave me one of them that I kept on the bus and in my coat pocket until we got back home.

I named that dog Django because of his origin, and he was a member of our family for a long time!

Tony my good friend I'm delighted to hear from you

I've grown a beard at this stage trying to figure out that intro. Maybe it's the old age creeping in but I can't distinguish the notes between the violion and the guitar. It's become a little bit of an obsession now. I thought maybe even if I got the violin part off first it might help, but I can't keep the D10 under my chin long enough

Hello Gene, thank you for the reply and I really enjoyed reading it. Those late night sessions are a fairly common experience over here too. Last summer we were in a pub down by the coast and after what we thought was only a few hours into the session we noticed about three fellows hanging around outside, but not actually trying to get in. They were only waiting for a lift ... to go to work.
Thanks again ,
Ingo.

Thanks Ingo....I dig! I lived that "Sunday Morning Coming Down" scene more that once when I was younger... Gene
