We are going to explore how Django incorporates half step bends into his phrasing with three licks from his recording of "Georgia on my Mind"

The notation, original recordings of Django playing this song and a bunch of other information can be found here: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/showthread.php?27653-Lick-of-the-Week-Half-Steppin-with-Django!
This was a fun lesson to do..I actually learned the whole melody from the head of the song as he played it just for fun this week and playing it with his fingerings as notated in a book I have was both enlightening and frustrating in places. I hope you enjoy!
