Django Reinhart – Minor Swing
I will give Django Reinhart the credit for this song, even though this version is played
Johnny Depp in the movie “Chocolat”.
ItÂ’s quite hard to play this song. Listen to it many times to see how the rhythm goes,
it's near to impossible to make rhythm when writing the tab. Remember that there are two
playing this song at the same time in the real version, so when tabing it for only one
guitar, I had to do some editing.

Here starts the guitar “solo”. I cut this down a bit, because it’s not sounding too good
the whole part without the other instruments.
