Here's a little bit of Django for C6th lap steel. The head and ending for "Blues for Ike." Improvise on blues in A. Check out Django's original version on YouTube recorded at his final session where he weaves brilliant be-bop inflected lines through the chord progression.
Backing track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es2WjlL1VpU
Enjoy! Happy holidays!

| Thanks for sharing! The Rosenberg rendition is a virtuoso tune but too fast for me. |

Ah......gotcha. That's why I asked which version, as Django never plays the head in the 1953 recording.......just answers the bass, which plays the head.
Thanks! |

Welcome! The 2nd page is Django's tag ending which I guess, most people just ignore and reprise the head. Yes, the bass takes the melody in the original - I forgot about that.
