Transcription of Django Reinhardt in 'Nuages' (13.12.1940)

Hello people! Hope you 're all doing good. Today's pick was recorded on this date, 79 years ago. Probably Django's best-known composition, and this for me, is the ultimate version. Has been recorded several times throughout the different periods of his career, and let's be straight: all versions are amazing. But this one just hits me every time. I don't need to say more, let's have a quick look at the facts:

Django Reinhardt et le Quintette du Hot Club de France :

Hubert Rostaing (cl)
Alix Combelle (cl, ts & chimes)
Django Reinhardt (g solo)
Joseph Reinhardt (g)
Tony Rovira (b)
Pierre Fouad (dm)

1940 December 13 - Swing, Paris

Well folks, there goes another video, hope you enjoy it. Thanks for liking-sharing-subscribing and supporting what I do.
I have many requests for tabs for these transcriptions and I already started working on soundslicing them. I 'm afraid I'm pretty unfamiliar with this process and I don't know when all these are going to be ready but I will keep you updated everytime I finish one so you can check it out.
Ok guys, that's it for now, catch you later.
Vive Django!
Peace

P.S. This is especially for my friend Adrien Tarraga who is a killer guitar player in the style of Django Reinhardt and I urge you to go to his youtube channel and subscribe if you haven't. Also, to my friend Juan Teruel who has his birthday today. Happy birthday man!

Dear Antonis, I had just transcribed it but came nowhere near your accuracy (and skill in playing it). There is much to learn here for me. Django's playing on this tune is just out of this world musically, and you capture that in a way that I've never before witnessed. Thank you!

[NicolasCampin]

Great job ! Thank you, by playing and filming it, you make me listen and understand better what Django played, it's wonderful ! Thx !!!

[PaulPaterson]

I love that you also played the "mistake" during the intro. I noticed that too when I transcribed this version. Once you hear it you can't un-hear it. 😂

[jean-paul]

Avec 2 doigts, comme le Maître! Bravo

[birgersundstrom]

Just wonderful, l enjoy every tone, every vibrato, every cord and that you play whit such great feeling!

[mseabs]

Bonjour et merci pour ce "Nuages" qui colle parfaitement à la version originale. J'admire particulièrement le fait que vous pratiquez le jeu avec deux doigts. Bravo et merci pour toutes les autres interprétations disponibles sur votre chaine. Il y a énormément de travail derrière tout ça. Amitiés
