This is a song by Django Reinhardt called "Minor Swing." Took me a little while to learn, but it was worth it:

No I actually bought the Hal Leonard Django play-along book (comes with a CD that has the backing tracks). The books are super convenient because it comes with a quality backing track and all the tab. GuitarTricks is just as convenient of course, but they don't have this song yet. :)

And I can't take all the credit for the tone, because our instructor Chris gave me some pointers.

But I could probably find a way to send you the backing track and the tab if you really want it. Let me know.

This is an iconic instrumental tune by the legendary Django Reinhardt. He also did a lot of jazz standards that are just as wonderful. Search for his name on Google & YouTube. You'll find a wealth of his stuff & people playing it. :)

Another great song that shows his genius is called "Djangology." The very first 10 seconds of that song show you how far ahead of their time Django and Stephane (the violinist) were.
