Five Iconic Django Reinhardt Licks from his 'Dark Eyes' Solo

Welcome back to another lesson! This time we take a look at five iconic licks from Django Reinhardt's 'Dark Eyes' (Les Yeux Noirs) solo. The entire solo is full of incredible ideas and guitar playing, it was really hard to narrow down five of my favourites, however, I think these five licks really capture the essence of Djangos sound on this song.

#5 outlines going UP in diminished and down in harmonic minor, which is common. I think the first lick anyone should master is the opening lick of the song Rhythm Futur

That’s an epic lick!!

So cool, thanks. I had the opportunity to go to the Django Reinhardt festival in Fontainebleau back in the ‘90s it was inspiring and humbling… you could just stroll around the place and jam with people you’d never met. I thought flamenco players were fast… 🤯😎✊🏼

Thanks Adam! Thats such a cool story! I've heard of the Fontationebleau festival and have wanted to go since I moved to europe (seven years ago!) I think this is the year I will finally make it there. Will you go again? Really happy you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for commenting.
