Swing Guitare

by Marcel Dadi

"A nice book by a great guitarist and teacher who died in 1997 in the tragic T.W.A. flight, Dadi was a true great guitarist" .

That book has been around for many years. I bought mine in late 80's I believe. Standard notation and Tablatures - not exact fingering and many errors.

Tablature are full of "approximations" - they do not represent the way it should be played.

I wonder who did the actual transcriptions effort...I doubt this is Dadi...

The song selection is a good one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a nice addition by yours truly ! : I've gathered lot's of Django CDs and vinyls. It has been possible for me to figure out which recording sessions where used for the transcriptions.
