Originally written by Georges Ulmer, this classic was famously recorded by Django Reinhardt with the Quintette du Hot Club de France in the 1940s.
In this lesson, you’ll learn to play Django’s original solo transcription – a great example of how he interpreted the song with his signature phrasing and melodic ideas. Joscho walks you through each section in detail to help you understand Django’s approach.
You’ll also discover several rhythm guitar variations to keep your accompaniment fresh.

2025 Update: We’ve added a brand-new Basic Solo to help you get started if Django’s original feels too advanced.
Joscho focuses on different concepts in each part of the AABA structure – from repeating patterns to chord-based phrases – giving you a well-rounded soloing approach for this tune.
