[Jacksonblake26]

:DDD i live in NC and have for my entire life:D i never knew we had a uke academy:DD

[UkuleleAcademy]

@Jacksonblake26 Good to hear from you-please stop by the Shop next time you're in Wilmington!

[Jacksonblake26]

@UkuleleAcademy I most deffinatley will!!

[TheBlm22]

@UkuleleAcademy Well I know where I need to go :)

[jaydiddley]

i agree with the person below, the original song is one of my favourites, but i love this latin style version, and you're a great player!!!! great version

[UkuleleAcademy]

@jaydiddley  Thank you for checking it out!

[UCSanPano]

I love this latinesque take on minor swing!

I personally like to practice some Django pieces in different ways, at times to try to exactly duplicate a particular Django recording, but doing this I notice that he plays pieces with a somewhat differing feel each time. Perhaps not as different as this, but I think he would enjoy it! I know I did!

[UkuleleAcademy]

@UCSanPano Thank you! I find I play it a little differently now then I did a couple years ago.

[crazychaoticcool]

That's totally awesome! I've been wanting to try out some gypsy-jazz on the uke lately.

On another note-How have I lived in NC my whole life and NOT known that we have a ukulele academy?!?

[nz1m]

Hot. You'll need that fire extinguisher behind ya!

[soapscumb3]

I pretty much listen to this daily.

[ElAqero]

What Django were you listening to? Very good Ukuleleism though.

[UkuleleAcademy]

@ElAqero I hope Django would be proud? Thanks for watching!

[wlkerns]

Nice stylr!!

[Esets]

I think it is a very nice version even if it doesn't sound just as the original, but I think this is very nice! Well earned five stars!

[UkuleleAcademy]

Thank you-I'm just having fun!

[Razorsharpedge]

This doesnt sound anything like Minor Swing, pffff, and dont use a  Ukulele

[UkuleleAcademy]

Thanks for watching!

[SideburnsGalore]

lol very classy reply

[ledchemiker]

@UkuleleAcademy It doesn't sound exact like Django, but I like your version. I guess some people don't realize that music is open to interpretation, especially when people are playing what other people have written.

Bonus Points for using a Soprano, anytime I'm not doing chords, I pick up my Tenor.

[baassmaastaa]

dude ukulele are just like any other instruments and who gives a shit if it doesn't sound like the minor swing, it still sounds really good

Thanks! I don't have it worked out in tab. I'm basically jamming to Dm-Gm-A7 then Gm-A7-Dm-Gm-E7-A7. It's a fun song to mess around with!
