Bengawan Solo

Bengawan Solo a much loved classic Indonesian song. Although I don't speak the native language of my parents that well, I just wanted to play it. I always imagined that it could the song that was playing when my parents met each other, shortly after the war. It probably isn't true, but I prefer to have that fantasy. Hope you'll enjoy.

very nice, I really would like to learn, can I have your guitar scores? Or can you post another video which shows your fingering better?

@adamlovesjojo2008 I don't have a score for Bengawan Solo, as it is a pretty straightforward song in the key of G. I use some jazz chords with alterations. The chord scheme I play is as follows:

In the verse: Gmaj7 | Am7 D9| Gmaj7| | Am7| D9 D7b9b5| Gmaj7| D7 D7b5| middle 8:

G7 | Cmaj7| C#dim| Gmaj7| | A7| C#m7b5| D7| D7b5
