Blues Clair
Michael Bauer
Chicago, ILProdigy Selmers, Busatos and more…oh my!
I have found three transcriptions of the first three choruses of the 1947 version of Blues Clair, but can't find a single one that goes beyond that. Does anyone know of a quality transcription out there?
If not, I am going to have to go through the long, laborious process of working it out, and frankly, I'm getting lazy in my old age.

I've never been a guitar player, but I've played one on stage.

It has a great set of django solos with standard notation for readers. It contains 11 solos from beginning to end, comes with a special chords page, a comping page/typical 3-chord progression page, 16 'gypsy' patterns, and even a cd.
Blues claire is one of my all time favorite jazz cuts, so I felt obligated to share this. It's a great solo to learn for a million reasons, and django is clearly in top form and unbelieveable. Hope you enjoy and thanks to Mr. Arita for the transcription! Please try and track the magazine down if you like what you see.

Other transcriptions are:
m. swing 1937
m. swing 1947
m.swing 1949
blues en mineur
d's tiger
djangology
after you've gone
belleville
swing guitars
i'll see you in my dreams
It's fun book but it is completely in japanese. Luckily my wife is japanese so I can bug her to translate. Even so, most of the riffs and chord progressions can be found through various other gypsy jazz texts. The transcriptions, especially blues claire to me, are the best part.
Enjoy!

All of the other songs are available elsewhere, but let's face it, transcriptions often differ about the note being played, let alone position. I figure the more I have, the better I can sort out which sound right and which wrong.
