Rob, your interpretive instincts are, as usual, excellent: This piece, one of my favorites among Django's compositions for solo guitar, is very well-suited for classical; along with the expected djangoisms are other, more formal influences. I'm sure Django, like all great musicians, listened to everything. Wonderful job!
Hi Rob,it sounds wonderful.Im also working on this tune, yes in the style of spanish guitar music.And it's an classical masterpiece.I play it with my Furch GN2 CW.
@@RobMacKillop1 Conceptually very intriguing: if it bothers you, then do it so pretty that it becomes a part of your own unmistakable signature sound and personal style of playing.
@@RobMacKillop1 What I meant was that if anyone has a problem with squeaks, they should listen to you and watch and learn. For a lot of people squeaks are irritating, because they won't go away - I wouldn't say it's common knowledge to help them by directing them to make them into musical swishes instead. Really, the soothing sound you produce in stead of the usually irritating effect is a pretty amazing! And, they're all natural.
Ah, I understand now. I hate squeaks in guitar playing, and do my best to avoid them. But sometimes they win the battle! Thanks for your supportive comments.
Hi Hans. It's in a wonderful collection called Unaccompanied Django transcribed by Michael Horowitz. Available from DjangoBooks.com Also comes with Django's recordings. Every piece or fragment Django recorded solo.
Django was a genius. Reminds me a bit of Villa Lobos. Very well structured for an impro. Beautifully played Rob, full of warmth and poetry.
I agree. A real genius!
Very well done, thank you for sharing.
Thank you!

Thanks, TE. He had incredible ears, not just fingers.
Brilliant as always, sir!!

Really beautiful
Thanks, Webinar! Spellchecker! Wenona! :-)
This is excellent, got some very Debussy influences mixed in there. Well played
Cheers. Agreed. I think he had been listening to Segovia, and his French-inspired Spanish composers.

Cheers, Frank. Django not only had a great pair of fingers, he had a great pair of ears too...
Personally I think Django would be proud! I love this piece on Classical guitar. Thank you!
I'm kind of partial to it myself ;-)

I wouldn't say it bothers me. Plus, I can't help but play the way I do.

Great job Rob. Really enjoyed it. Would you know how I could get a copy of this arrangement? Please let me know.
Thanks,
George
Thanks. It was transcribed from Django's recording by Michael Horowitz, published by DjangoBooks as Unaccompanied Django.
Wonderful playing! Never heard of this piece. Where can I find the score?
