After careful consideration, and the fact that this song is 1:53, I figured it would be the best one to start first.

I must admit that the 'slow' demo was about twice as fast as I could play it. Which is OK. I don't read much tab so this was good practice to count each beat out and play the notes with the correct rhythm.

I quit smoking over 13 years ago but for some reason I feel like hanging a cigarette from my mouth while I play... could it be the spirit of Django! lol

I'm probably just talking to myself here but I just wanted to leave some bread crumbs to see where I've been so can have the motivation to work harder when the songs become more difficult.

Daphne is a great song, but if you're looking for the easiest one it would be "Honeysuckle Rose" followed by "Gypsy Groovin" and "All of Me".

Thanks for those suggestions. I'll have a look at them. I figured that the length of the song really lowered the bar for me. It's sounds pretty good so far. I like how the lessons are laid out.

Yikes. I have a problem of just sticking to one all the way through. I can play a chorus "+" of Daphne, a chorus of All of Me, all of Dolores, and a smattering of others. I like Daphne because, well, I like it; because it's rhythm changes in D, so thought this would be helpful in a lot of other tunes; and because of its use of octaves...and mine aren't the cleanest, let's just say.

Seems like Honeysuckle comes up a lot, yes, Christiaan? I do see the harmonic structure is straightforward and it seems like there's a ton of useful stuff in there, from your transcription...so, if I can tie one leg down, I might actually benefit from your advised approach of biting off 2-8 measures, get a whole tune, then up to 80% speed, then move on...!
