Transcription of Django Reinhardt on " I 'll never smile again " (18.7.1947)

Hello everyone, hope you 're all doing good.
I was quite honoured about a month ago to receive a fantastic pick from Killy Nonis, the well-known luthier and a very fine craftsman in general. He was kind enough to send me the "turbo" model (the other one being the Acker model, named after young master Henry Acker, check him out right away if you don't know what I'm talking about). It has a very nice grip and feel for both rhythm and solo. And although I 've given up on picks 2.5mm or heavier, I gotta say this feels very natural when holding! It is also quite versatile as it can be played on any of its 3 points, getting a different sound from each one. Oh and yes, it looks gorgeous! It has a fantastic brass-like Selmer logo on one side, and a turquoise bubbly grip on the other. So, in this video I' ll be playing with it, so you can hear how it sounds. I suggest you check them out for yourselves, you can easily contact Kily Nonis on Facebook and get yours. Thank you very much Kily, I love it !
I also would like to hear what you all think of this guitar. It's a Chinese made Dell' Arte, DG-RN1 modele Robin Nolan (Robin is one of the best gypsy-jazz guitarists out there and a personal favourite of mine. Again if you don't know what I'm talking about, check him out right now!) . I think I bought it around 2009 from Athens Greece, not too expensive (around maybe 600 euro). It's been played quite a lot, and in the past 2 years its sound has opened up a lot. It is a very dry Favino style guitar with minimal bass response but very nice mid and high clarity. Excellent for soloing in my humble opinion.
Ok, so back with another transcription. This time it's Django's 1947 version of "I 'll never smile again". To be honest, I think I first heard it about 2-3 months ago and that slow mood struck me immediately. Soulful, medium swing, Django with a Stimer probably and that heavenly sound, nice breaks in the middle, clarinet, I mean, what more can you ask? Man, I just can't get enough of that 1945 - 1949 period. The Master is always on top form and good mood!
Unfortunately I didn't have a Stimer but nevermind that, I think it helps hear the guitar and the sound of the pick better.
Here's the lineup of the original recording:

And some Wiki info on the tune itself:

" "I 'll Never Smile Again" is a 1940 song written by Ruth Lowe. It has been recorded by many other artists since, becoming a standard.
The most successful and best-known version of the song was recorded by Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra, with vocals provided by Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers. This recording was released as a Victor 78, 26628A, in 1940. This version was number one on Billboard's first "National List of Best Selling Retail Records" — the first official national music chart — on July 27, 1940, staying at the top spot for 12 weeks until October 12, 1940. The tune was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982. "
