Django Reinhardt Melodic Minor Jazz Lick

More lessons at http://thejazzguitarsite.com/. Here's a cool Django Reinhardt jazz lick in A melodic minor. I will usually place this lick in my solos when I am trying to build tension. Look for similar guitar lessons coming in the future!

thats a cool lick, the phrasing is something I am not used to so it's going to be fun. Thanks for teaching it to us

Hey nice lick dude, I'll be sure to learn it and apply. Not trying to sound like a jerk but I believe your lick if I'm seeing it right is in A Melodic Minor (A B C D E F# G# A), which while Django soloed based on arpeggios was the scale color he essentially used over Am6 chords (because it contains the Am6 arp and a leading tone to the root). You seem to hit F# but never F like A Harmonic Minor.

Thanks ! I've performed my entire life and never really studied Jazz. You slow it down and make the riffs understandable. With your help I am now gaining a jazz groove. A happy old man ! Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
