Text File
This is the song played by Johnny Depp's character in the film 'Chocolat'.
The original is by Django Reinhardt,
but this isn't it.
It's the version of the song from the film.
It's an acoustic played swing piece, it's played quite fast and takes some getting
used to but
it sounds good especially if you play it with a strummed acoustic playing
back-up chords! listen to the song for details.
the film doesnt
have the complete version, but you get the idea
u = strum up
d = strum down
and the norms:
/ = slide
p = pull off
h = hammer
x = palm muted
~ = tremelo
b = bend and release
(7) = ghost note
