Django often ends choruses in one of two ways:
1) Using a phrase that provides closure
2) Using a phrase that builds energy to lead into the next chorus.
Both options use diminished arpeggios.
The chord progression for the chorus endings in All of Me is simply the II-V-I, Dm-G7-C
In this lesson, we’ll look into how to build tension at the very end of the chorus to lead us right into the next chorus.
To achieve that, we’ll be using a diminished arpeggio over the tonic (in our case, C).
This is an exciting idea that Django often uses.
Here we’ll be building tension, rather than resolving, on the tonic chord ending the chorus, using the diminished of the tonic chord itself (Cdim in All of Me).
I like to look at my solos as a story with a structure, a beginning, a middle and an end. In this case, I build a climax between the first and second choruses instead of ending the story and starting a new story in the second chorus. This way, the second chorus comes as an organic continuation of the first.

Another great lesson thanks Yaakov. BTW for us slow learners, the tab at 3:05 should indicate Eb or 11, not 12, as the top note. BTW what a beautiful guitar.
