That’s one of the most beautiful melodies I’ve ever heard…thank you so much for this and all of your videos. They are very helpful and inspiring!

Thank you so much for these lessons Sven, it’s great having the chord sheets but really great to also watch you playing the tunes to get the proper fingerings! Buddy

Bonjour, thanks for your precise explanations. The sound of your guitar is superb I like your playing. More than pleasure, it is joy for the mind and an example for the one who tries to play and listens. Let us be numerous to be happy with your video or videos.

I love these videos, they're so inspiring! Thanks :-)

Thanks! Inspirational to hear the chords and melody played so beautifully!

Very clear - thanks a lot.

Excellent!!

Great lesson, thanks!!!

Awesome. So inspiring....

This time in English: Thank you Sven again for sharing all that wonderful stuff and giving me back a touch of my 1990 feelings. The time when Joscho, Titi Winterstein, Roby Nolan and many others played on the Djangofestival near Nuremberg i Co. Organized. PS. What kind of wood is used on your Volkert guitar?

Many thanks

This is great stuff Sven!!! 🎶👍👍 I can't believe you don't have more than 20 comments?? I have known a few of these but I appreciate you showing some of these other unique Gypsy chords. And to this, one of my very favorite Django Reinhardt guitar songs!!🎶👍 I come from a background of playing some of the more traditional jazz bar chords styles.. I started playing gypsy jazz about 20 years ago but nobody where I live knew some of these unique Gypsy style chords.. I had to figure them out by ear while listening to Djangos recordings. But a lot of times, I did them in a bar style,So they weren't completely correct. Have you heard his live recording record from Belgium to Brussels? Or do I have that backwards? 😅 I believe he recorded these rare recordings while he and the band he was with, were trying to run and stay ahead of the Nazis around 1942??

love gypsy jazz although only recently started to dig into the playing technique and how to get that so-unique sound. On that subject, and specifically your left hand, how the heck do you play two strings at the same time with the middle finger…! You don’t seem to bend the finger…Magic!

Sven, do have a printable sheet with the chords? Love all your music!!!

Very nice Sven, I do enjoy your lesson well done. If it is not too much asking Could you share your play alone backing track for practicing? Muchas gracias desde Montreal - Canada

Thanks so much for your lesson on this beautiful tune. Might you have tabs availble for your melody version?

Hey Sven, I need for help. During certain parts of songs it sounds like your completely muting the strings when your pick strikes on beats 2 and 4, and other times it sounds like a very short staccatos strike where you hear the chord very briefly. Are you infact using both techniques at times (a muted strike and a staccatos strike)? In this song the first 8 or 16 bars sound completely muted on beats 2 and 4, then it starts getting bouncy with staccato strikes. Is there a rhyme or a reason as to when to use muted strikes verse short staccato strikes, or do you completely go be feel as to when you alternate between the two? Thank you😁

What is this guitar ?? I love the sound !! Thanks’ so much !!

Jamie paris charles anzavour can you?

Can I check something with you? In bars 15 & 16 you play that descending shape - Emi7, Ebmi7, Dmi7, Ab7b9 right? I see how the Ab7b9 is sub for G7. But isn't that Eb also sub for an A7? In which case you would / could play an A7b9 right? That makes the move symmetrical - you are going from mi7 to 7b9 every time.
