Today we will tackle the chords for Django's fantastic "Douce Ambiance". This progression is full of really useful chord runs, inversions and walking bass lines.. all essential elements for that authentic pre-bop swing sound.

One thing I forgot to mention is that in the lesson materials I’ve included a transcription of the melody, plus Django’s fantastic 2 chorus solo (that we’ll look at in detail in the next lesson). I’d always recommend learning the basic melody so that you can play the “head” of the tune effectively.

I would highly recommend downloading the lesson materials provided at the link above.. all of the topics covered in this lesson are typed up nice and neat and provided in both guitar pro and PDF formats. Having these to hand whilst following along with the video will certainly make things much easier to absorb.

Thanks for watching and please do leave a comment down below, and if you could hit the like button and subscribe to my channel, that would really be so appreciated.

After many months of people asking, I've finally taken the plunge into starting a Patreon!.. I will be posting there very regularly, making exclusive content and lesson materials for supporters. I thought I'd keep it simple and just have 1 tier to avoid any confusion!
