Might be good to go to a gypsy violin site, check their notation, convert it to TAB and (important) try to figure out a Django style picking pattern.
Plenty of teachers out there who would be happy...

Have fun! :)

Still a bit rough but I just discovered this lovely little foot tapper and had to share.
I’ve posted the PDF and TAB in YT details.
I think it sounds OldTime.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

When I carry my octave mandolin case on the bus, it’s pronounced 'bon shore'

-as in: 'c’est un banjo, non?'

Nice one, so he jammed… you had a nice chat with him… and he learned. :)

Thanks, with the first measure:

I sometimes think about a different tune while I’m actually practicing thinking about practicing another tune while I’m making a cup of hot chocolate, thinking about why I’m not practicing, and how...

It’s over a 100F here in France with a hot, 30 mph Sahara wind.
Everything that can’t move is on fire.
'Climate Change, climate change apocalypse!' is what the media has decided to talk about.

Thanks Eric, now I feel bad for you, as well as feeling bad for me!
Why can’t I have a good reason for not practicing?
