Very helpful for us "Django hopefuls." Could you please tell me what chord you strike right at the end of this clip? It's a variation on the minor that sounds very cool and jazzy. Thanks!

@Judplay It's a minor 6 chord played like this 5x4555

What guitar did you use?

[thrip]

@ToXin88 the guitar is a Selmer copy by Godefroy Maruejouls.

@thrip Thanks! I didn't find any prices, how much was it?

[thrip]

@ToXin88 I bought it a few years ago, not sure how much it would be now. Maybe you should email him?

@bergAgreb Arpeggios existed long before the intro to Paganini's Fifth Caprice.

[GryptpypeThynne]

@thrip Even better, it's the exact voicing Django used!

It's funny, I was learning this tune last week and I was doing just this.

Feels like I was finally doing something right.
