Django Reinhardt’s “Nuages“ - Chord Melody for solo jazz guitar. Happy Birthday Django!

On the 23rd of January 1910, one of my biggest heroes was born.. the legendary Django Reinhardt. His tune “Nuages“ was one that he recorded many times over the relatively short career he had before his untimely death aged just 43. This is a quick off the cuff tribute to the music and the soul behind it’s creation. To say this man was a genius is an understatement. If you don’t know the story of Django Reinhardt, then I highly recommend going down the rabbit hole and doing some reading. Let me know in the comments if you’d like me to do a full breakdown on how I would go about arranging this into a chord melody/solo performance. Thanks for watching! :) If you’d like to support the work I do, feel free to buy me a coffee at this link; I post most days on insta: #djangoreinhardt #gypsyjazz #jazzmanouche #jazz #django #vintage #prewar #1930s #selmer #maccaferri #improvisation #chordmelody #jazzguitar #prebop #bebop #1940s #guitar #guitarist #music #musician #tribute #happybirthday #guitarlesson #alexfarran #gibsonguitars #gibsonarchtop #vintageguitar #vintageamp #fender #deluxereverb #nuages #paris #france #swing #swingguitar #rosenbergtrio #birelilagrene #stochelorosenberg
