The Gypsy Jazz Chord Book
This series of books is based on the music of Django Reinhardt and the ever
expanding style of Gypsy Jazz. All the tunes in this series of books have
either been recorded by Django Reinhardt or his extended family and Gypsy
Guitarists.
To use this book, the user is expected to have some knowledge of chord
work.
The chords are the foundation to any kind of music but can still be
improvised just like soloing with the use of substitutions and passing chords,
adding harmonic twists and turns to an otherwise standard format.
Even the subtle change from a minor 7th to a minor 9th and the dominant
7th to a 9th can change the mood of a song.
The extensive use of these chords in this book is just a choice of voicing.
It is also important to add dynamic changes to rhythm. By playing added
accents and off-beats, this can add more direction and depth as well as
keeping it interesting to the listener.
Django’s accompaniment in this style was phenomenal and played with
complete command that is still unrivalled to this day.
ItAt the heading of every tune there is a reference to its format of play.
For example AABA or ABCA etc. This indicates the pattern in which the tune
is to be played and then repeated in its entirety for the length of the tune,
unless arranged otherwise.
The key in which the tune is played.
The type of rhythm, 4/4 or 3/4 or otherwise. This indicates the type of rhythm
only, not a timing signature to be counted in.
Each chord has a suggested fret position which is placed in the corner of each
chord box. For example if you have a C6/9 accompanied with a ‘3’, then the ‘C’
note on the ‘A’ string defines its position and if you have a C6/9 with an ‘8’ then
the ‘C’ note on the ’E’ string will define its position etc.
A‘0’ (zero) represents an ‘open’ chord.
The same process applies to each and every chord.
The use of split chords in this book is as follows:
ae
The diagram above shows an inversion of a Major chord. Because the Bass note
is lower than the root it will be listed as a split chord, in this case a ‘G/B’, so
location of the fret position can be easily identified.
Likewise, if we had an ‘F/A’ it would be the same shape as the diagram above
except it would be in the fifth position
The chord changes in this book do not necessarily match the original
recordings as they have been collected from many sources including some
ideas of my own.
The examples in this book are just one of many ways the chords can be
interpreted.

BEGIN THE BEGUINE
The chord sequence to Begin the Beguine shown on the opposite page closely follows the
Fapy Lafertin version from his CD Fleur De Lavende (HCR).
It also includes the ‘C’ section which is not always played but can be heard on Django’s
recordings.

BODY AND SOUL
This ballad is usually played in a 32
Bar format.
The above arrangement is taken from
Angelo Debarre's rendition where he
doubles up the tempo on the middle
eight therefore extending it to a
middle sixteen making it a 40 bar
tune.
Angelo is one of the top players on
the world stage of Gypsy guitar
playing and regularly tours the UK
with Dave Kelbies’, Le Jazz.

a swing context, but is traditionally played as a Samba.

¢ aleve $4 | Django recorded this track on the Rome
recordings of 1950. By this stage of his career
‘ ° he was mainly playing amplified
guitar by means of a Stimer pick-up.
The Stimer pick-up pictured
opposite is from 1948 and
was once owned and used
by the great Baro Ferret.
This original pick-up when
used, really emulates the
growling sound that Django
achieved in his recording in
the late ‘40's and ‘50’.

This tune was written by Titi Winterstein. A fantastic version can be heard on Moreno’s CD
Yochka. He plays this tune 52 Bars long as shown above, as opposed to 56 Bars.
This is one of those great modern Gypsy compositions in a minor key that can be soloed
over with great power and invention.

The above rendition is taken from
Stochelo Rosenberg’ Seresta CD in the
key of D.
This is a very modern interpretation of
Django's classic tune.
Kamlo leans towards this modem style
of Gypsy playing,
He plays from the heart with colourful
and creative lines,
He is a very dedicated player to the
Gypsy style and constantly moves
forward in his playing ability.
He regularly plays with great Gypsy
guitarists such as Rudolphe Raffelli,
Patrick Saussois and many others too.

This arrangement has been taken from Django Reinhardt'’s recording of 1947. This can been
found in the Integrale Series 15, CD 2, track 8. Django plays this at such a tempo that on
starting this tune he plays 2 beats over 4 and you may find that you would need to apply this
method where necessary.

This high powered composition by Django
Reinhardt is feartured in the repertoire of
Moreno Winterstein pictured opposite.
He takes it at a tremendous pace which is
reminisant of the 1947 recordings by Django
by using a Stimer pick-up.
Moreno has an extremely strong right-hand
technique which gives him complete
command over his guitar. He is both
visually and audibly one of the most
exciting Gypsy guitarists to watch.32 Ba

This beautiful ballad was recorded by
Django in the mid 30's.
The picture opposite features Belgian
Guitarist Lollo Meier who has captured
the earlier style of Django’s playing with
such authenticity that he could have
almost come from that era
His playing is a proud example of Gypsy
guitar tradition being passed on from one
generation to another.

This track was recorded by Django in 1938 with the Quintette of the Hotclub of France.
Samois Sur Seine is the final resting place of Django Reinhardt and where each year on the
last weekend of June there is a festival held in memory of this great Gypsy Guitarist.
Samois is a small village approximately 50km south of Paris. The nearest train station from
the festival is about 4 km away in Avon.
Each year thousands of people come from around the world to pay their respects and to
enjoy the virtuoso Gypsy guitarists who, not only can be seen playing on stage, but also be
seen playing impromptu around the various local campsites and restaurants on the banks on
the Seine.
