Everything about Django,s playing was amazing. His endless stream of musical ideas his sublime phrasing and timing but what is mindblowing is his uncanny ability to transfer any musical idea instantly to the fretboard no matter how fast or complicated

Great to see the late Bert Weedon, and hear him pay homage. I met the man once at a guitar show in England. What a guy, he was small in stature, humble, well dressed, revered and polite. He was there because he loved music and he loved guitars. Enough said, what a guy.

The sheer exuberance of Minor Swing is amazing. Can't you just see those guys playing that and grinning at each other, knowing that this one is really working? After the "Oh yeah" at the end, you just know that they all lit up a fresh smoke and looked at each other, knowing that they hit this one right out of the park?

Lawrence L I believe you may be confused, they are playing the wonderful J'attendreai, and on this take I understand they are actually miming to a recording for the film camera, hence the smiles. Don't always believe what you see/hear. I don't think they are playing Minor Swing at the end either, if you look at the tempo and the stops for the bass run, that too is a recorded overlay.

He's a fine guitarist, but the greatest? I hate when they post thing's like that, there are many guitarist's past and present, nobody is the greatest, but there are many great guitar players, I could not even begin to start naming them off because there are so many. To this person who posted this, in his opinion this guy may be what he thinks is the greatest and I would give you odds he doesn't play the guitar. Just my personal opinion. P.S. I play a Martin which is a great guitar but so is Guild,Gibson etc,etc.

Russell Makar dufus, the option of Django being the greatest guitarist did not originate with the narrator of the video, on the contrary, that opinion is shared by some of todays guitar god's including but not limited to, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, who upon first hearing a Django recording thought that there were two guitarist's playing, and no there were no multitrack recording in the 1930's. Plus the guy develops this amazing ability while overcoming the handicap of only having two working fingers on his fretting hand!!! You try that DORK. So in short, why don't you just STFU and troll off elsewhere because your opinion is absolutely unbelievablely absurd, you moronic sperm receptical

If Beck says Django is the best ever then its game over mate, end of . I've been seeing Beck since 1965 and he is the governor of guitar, always has been. But Django is the spirit of swing guitar , he threw the instrument into the world and said listen up!!!!

@charliemcleod7646 жыл бұрын
It's nonsense about the fire accident. I have it on good authority that Django had a pal who was a neurologist. He told Django that the brain copes better with 2 fingers than 4. Django went home and stuck his pinky and ring finger in the toaster. All history is made up. Just let the man play his brilliant music.
