Getting back into Django
Hey Djangobooks,
It's been a while! So I'm getting my fingers out of retirement and hungry to delve back into Django's music...I didn't quit playing guitar but I focused more on other styles for several years(swing, country, solo jazz,etc). Long story short, I recently watched the French film "Django" and suddenly found myself digging out my old D-500 and going back over those great chords and phrases. (On a side-note, the movie wasn't perfect and I don't think much was true but it does feature some great recreations of Django's playing by the Rosenberg Trio).
Anyways, I'm curious if any of you have taken a break for a long time, and then returned...what practice routines might you do to get back in shape? The Michael books are great and I still have those and plan to do a lot of work in them this summer. Any ideas are welcome. I've missed this music and it's great to be back and see many of the same names here as from when I joined 10 years ago (omg).
Regards,
Chip
