I transcribed this classic Grappelli solo on Django's Tiger and I used it to work on my own improv, without try to copy grappellis licks. Watch the full video to learn my process as a professional jazz violinist who is always trying to improve their playing.

Good man Matt! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MattHolborn]

Thanks John!

Brilliant, loved your playing.

[@perrys987]

I really like your approach. I always tried to copy his solos and try to get my bowing to match - which I guess is the same as copying rhythm. Incidentelly, is this the one single tune Grappelli recorded in the key of A?

[@MattHolborn]

Thanks, yeah that’s a great thing to strive for. Very hard to know what someone’s bowings might be!

[@shobarsch]

That's basically the only gypsy jazz tune in A!

Nice video, what chin rest do you use?

[@MattHolborn]

Thanks, hmmm I’m not sure. It came with my violin. It’s boxwood I think.
