Robin Nolan's Gypsy Jazz intro - open D tuning

Andy Volk · From: Boston, MA

I've admired gypsy jazz guitarist Robin Nolan for a number of years for his style built on taste and melodicism versus the fire-breathing, high-octane approach of some Gypsy jazzers. He has a series of cool free videos exploring the style. Rather than try to duplicate his exact voicings via arpeggios, here's how I interpreted this intro for open D tuning on acoustic steel (MIDI link at the bottom):

That's great! I have a bunch of Robin's 6-string tab and recordings (his Gypsy Jazz take on AC/DC songs is a classic!) and it's nice to see something translated to lap guitar.
