How to Play An Evening in Paris on Guitar

An Evening in Paris is a timeless classic with a beautiful Dm-based chord progression that blends jazz and Latin influences. The song is ideal for intermediate guitarists looking to explore minor key movements and suspended voicings.

The Dm7M (major 7th over minor) chord is the characteristic colour of this piece — it adds a subtle melancholic brightness unique to the composition.

Tips for Playing An Evening in Paris

Dm7M = Dm chord with the 7th (C#) added — try Dm shape with middle finger on C# on the B string.
The waltz-like 3/4 feel (ONE-two-three) works perfectly with a gentle fingerpicking pattern.
Cadd9/C indicates Cadd9 chord with C in the bass — standard Cadd9 shape suffices on guitar.
