    I posted some Etudes from the Unaccompaneid Django Book here: viewtopic.php?t=1781

    Below I've posted a couple of rough tracks of my band, the Djangomatics. We were just screwing around one day...having a couple of beers and recording some stuff live to 2 mics. Not perfect, but it gives you an idea of what I sound like.

    Michael Horowitz: Lead Guitar
    Kevin Conner: Rhythm Guitar
    Kevin Stevens: Bass

    I wrote Ojos Verdes....

    excellent. in the first track are you using just the rest stroke?

    yep...100% Gypsy technique on all tracks. The only place I'm doing something non-Gypsy is in Ojos Verdes. On the intro/outro, the arpeggios are executed with a backwards sweep. Other then that it's Gypsy all the way....

    thanks!

    Michael,

    So nice to hear the verse for Night and Day! I wish more people would include it; it's such a cool piece of music. And the Ojos rhythm-would you call that a tango?

    Best,
    Jack.

    Hi, Michael. Great playing! Is there anywhere I can get the chart for the tango?

    Michael,
    Really cool!
    And that version of Night and Day is also one of my favorites, done very well by you guys.

    Hi, Michael. Great playing! Is there anywhere I can get the chart for the tango?

    Thanks....I'll be including a chart for the Tango in Vol.3 of Gypsy Rhythm which will be all about Latin stuff.

    It's pretty easy...A section in just Am, Dm, and E7. The B section is ii-V-i in Dm and then ii-V-I to C Maj.

    Glad you like it!
