Would that be two guitars (acoustic) string bass and no drums!

This would be a wonderful addition. As I was walking along the river in Paris last summer, about every 50 yards or so was another 2 to 4 guitarists trading solos while the other(s) played rhythm. It was an uplifting. I have since been using a midi style to get my chops up, but a Django real style would probably add a couple of hours to my practice sessions! I dream of going back and joining in.
And yes, flourishes with violin or even accordian would put it over the top.

Yes another +1 but please investigate the plethora of styles that are Gypsy Jazz born of Django such as Angelo Debarre, Stochlo Rosenberg, Moreno, Tchavolo Schmit, et al, all subtly different as were most of Django's tracks, as opposed to the accepted doo whacka that is prevelant, before deciding exactly what to provide.

We now do have Django styles in BB 2009 (Ultrapack), but I`m a little disapointed (only a little  ) They don`t sound good played fast. First of all they`re only strechable up to around 200 maybe 220. We all know that the gipsy style is often very fast. Secondly, when you speed them up to 220 they sound unrealistic. The Bass strings of the guitar aren`t short enough and muted enough for that fast playing. I had the pleasure to play with some real good gipsys (Sinti) here in Austria and they told me the correct playing. And its a huge difference in the fast playing. As said, they mute the bass string (but also at slower tempos the strings are generally more muted than on the Real tracks). Well, I`m not a good gipsy player, but the one that plays the Real Tracks should be. (I think its Oliver Gannon, I think he is a good guitarist, but maybe a real gipsy guitarist could have done a more sophistcated work here) Just my opinion. The rest of the Jazz guitar RTs are really good. sandra

Hi Sandra:
I'm new to PG Music and looking for a program that will play Gypsy Jazz on guitar. Could you advise me as to which program to buy. (The person I called to buy the program didn't know what I was talking about).
Thanks,
Art Howe
Philadelphia, Pa.

Hi Art, There are some django styles and solos available in the full Band in a Box program. You can enter the chords and select one of the styles to suit and then invoke django type guitar soloing. Here's a quick mp3 of one of them I made for you, a BIAB demo song of one of the Hot Club styles: BIAB_HotClub_Demo.mp3 BIAB will also display the notation, TAB and guitar fretboard view of what our virtual "django" is playing, we can slow down the tempo, play along and gradually get it up to speed, print out the sheet music or tab, or just make quality recordings like this one of the thing if that is what you want to do. This is just one of the django type styles, there are a few others in there, too. --Mac
