Douce Ambiance Django's original chords vs commoly played today

Buco · November 2017

I came up with something of my own for the first two A's following everyone's advice. Was gonna make a video today and post it and I got distracted.
But it was a good distraction, transcribed the first A of Django solo on Paramount Stomp. Will try to get to it tomorrow.

Hey Buco, looking forward to checking it out. So many possibilities.

(Yet) another option for the intro (with the D pedal on the high E string, 10th fret.

Ok Bones, you made me do it. Here it is warts, farts and all. I'll try to polish it and record another version. This is unlisted. What I really wanted to do on B part was to explore the ideas from the spread triads that Dave mentioned (honestly, while I recognize some shapes, I had no idea the concept existed, embarrassing I know) but time is running out. Instead I took the easy road.
Who knew where this was going to end up for me?! I got my answer from Paps right away.
The other day a guy was asking about the best course our there. I was thinking to myself "man, this forum is the best course out there" or one of the best, seriously.
Thanks guys:

PS look, no pick in site!?!

Wow, great ideas! Love it!

Thanks Bones, I'll continue to work on this one. There's a lot more I could do on a B part especially.

Inspired by Django in June, especially sending a shout out to @dennis for motivation, I finally sat down to make something out of that pile of mess I did awhile ago:
