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!

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!

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

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

[Jacksonblake26]

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?!?

@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.
