Django Reinhardt Jazz Lick

Django Reinhardt is an amazing musician and after doing the Jazz presentations and finding out about him, I grew to really like his works. This is me playing one of his jazz licks.

The lick is very simple however, it requires great amount of practice to be able to play it smoothly and clearly as Django. I tried doing the lick a couple of times in the video and I have been doing it probably about 10 times before i recorded the video. The first few tries I played it slowly while gradually increasing the speed.

I thought I did okay and the beauty of the jazz lick was recognisable. But of course, I still need to train more. With the chromatic scale I am practicing in the previous video, I could really improve my skills and be able to play the jazz lick well.
