Hello Forum! Well so I've been listening to
Django for a while now and I really love this
style of music. I was wondering if anyone
knew some good rhythm chords and
progressions that are commonly used
for the rhythm players for jam sessions.
Anyone have some Tips? Thanks!

Well just going by what DR himself is using on sweet georgia brown I'd recommend 6th's, 7th's, 9th's and 13th's for starters. Get on over to the guitar chords section and start calling up those types of chords and check inversions also.

...also, trying listening to the "same" DR song played by other musicians, for example, DJANGO's CASTLE by Chet Atkins, etc.
