"Django's Tiger" - Gypsy jazz lead guitar challenge! (Patreon)

For the first time in over a year, I’m taking a week off from posting a public lesson up on YouTube. * For my Patreon members, I have something fun for you to dig your teeth into so do scroll down and continue reading below!..

I’m currently working hard coming up with some really exciting, and different studies.. recording a new backing track daily and finding inspiration in new sounds. So watch this space, because after this week off, we’ll be back twice as strong as before for #SeasonTwo 💪🏼😎

Thanks for all of your support, kind words and encouragement over the past year.. it means the World to me and I can’t wait to see what this next year brings! See you all next week when we return to our regular programming!

In the meantime, for my Patreon members, I have something of gypsy jazz challenge for those of you who might fancy having a go at one of Django's iconic solos.

With the video above, and my transcriptions attached below you should have everything you need to get this monster masterpiece under your fingers! As always, I work everything out by ear and put a lot of time, effort and consideration into my transcriptions before I neatly type them out in guitar pro. Here, I've chosen logical Django-esque fingerings, which may seem tricky in places.. but I'm a firm believer in getting out of your comfort zones in order to grow and progress as a player.For those of you brave enough to tackle this, do let me know how you get along with it in the comments below, and hey, maybe upload a video of you playing through it over on our exclusive members forum at the link below;
