Continuing to try to expand my repertoire from just pentatonic.I've once before had a go at a "Gypsy Jazz" piece in the Blues Room - "Waltzin' Viking" way back in August last year. So here's attempt number 2.

Managed to quickly get a decent tone setting on the new Vox Tonelab LE from the "UK Blues" amp setting. Three guitars used - Vintage VSA (neck) then PRS SE Soapbar (neck), then Hagstrom Viking Deluxe (mid), PRS SE (mid), VSA590(Treble), Hagstrom (neck). My parts are the slow lead lines - the rapid fire gypsy jazz stuff is on the Backing Track.
I have only heard a bit of the original "La Gitane" and it's way beyond my understanding. So this is an attempt at Jazzy with no intention by me of trying to play like Django - I can't!
The notes I was playing seemed to make sense at the time - now after a few hours I'm less sure. I'd be fascinated to hear anyone elses take on it and any comments they might have on what works. It seemed to me that D Aeolian mostly fitted though the extra two Aeolian notes that aren't minor pentatonic needed more emphasis than usual.
