We apply some essential chord-based Django-isms and learn how to play with the spaces a slow tempo piece like this allows. We’ll be talking about some important chord-types; sixes, nines and 6/9’s, as well as dominant 13b9 chords!.. all the good stuff that’ll sweeten your playing that much more 👌🏻 Lesson materials will include a sheet of these voicings to study for homework, as well as the chord melody itself of course!
