Nuages

From: * (Jonathan Byrd)

        NUAGES by Django Reinhardt

        tablature by Jonathan Byrd

This is a simple chord-melody 
arrangement of one of Django's
best-known, and most beautiful 
compositions.

My notation is pretty standard, and 
shouldn't require much
explanation.  Above each tab chart I
 have listed the chord changes,
and the places where the downbeats 
fall.  Two chords have been marked
with the note "trem" to indicate 
that I like to tremolo pick those
chords.  Django's tremolo picking 
was so fast and dynamic that he
could create swelling crescendos 
much like a horn section.  The
picking technique is kind of like 
shaking out a match.  I sometimes
play this song fingerstyle, too.  
Some of the chords are tough to
flatpick because of muted strings in
 the middle of fretted strings.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.
