[@zeevogel]

I don't see how anyone can give this video a thumb down. Someone did, though. Étrange! I think this video is really helpfull cause it enables me to learn this peace much faster. Thanks!

[@loopmasta5104]

Great work. Exactly what I need to work on. Thanks

[@laurentgrelet]

Merci pour ces transcriptions

[@franklimon1]

Wooow excellent!! Merci bcp! Comment aura-t-il fait pour accorder si vite la guitar à Drop D sans écouter même pas la note??? Incroyable

[@psicotic67]

You're a great man! Thank you so much!

[@octaveetanatole6051]

je me fais une petite révision et j'en profite pour te redire à quel point t'as fait un job incroyable!!!! pierre

[@Slackerman007]

So did he tune the low E down down to D in the middle of this piece??

[@GillJazzTranscriptions]

Yes, You can hear a silence before !

[@belfastgypsy1]

That's my self isolation sorted

[@sebb440]

Merci beaucoup. Main droite sans mediator ?

[@GillJazzTranscriptions]

Oui, Django le faisait parfois, même en groupe!

[@nelaton6068]

Dans cette improvisation on entend la musique brésilienne. Il est a l'origine de la Bossa Nova ..

[@Canowormz]

Dude my question is, how the hell was he playing some of these chords with only 2 fingers? Like it’s actually impossible to play some of them.

[@GillJazzTranscriptions]

Django used all of these fingers for chords with certain limits, you can see it in these pictures : www.photos.gillesrea.com/Django-Reinhardt-Photos/#label=Django%20accords

[@Canowormz]

@@GillJazzTranscriptions ah I see thank you!

[@cawaboonga85]

I'm assuming he still had all his five fingers on his left hand, yet.

[@GillJazzTranscriptions]

Yes, but he had a severe handicap in the left hand, he did not use his ring and pinkie fingers to play single notes, and these two fingers could only play on the two treble strings, he also often used the thumb of the left hand on the bass string for chords.

[@cawaboonga85]

@@GillJazzTranscriptions Thanks for the explanation and for the transcription, I know he had this dissability that's why I was asking, because this transcription carries chords that require more than two fingers.

[@MrThreescoops]

He could still fret with his other two fingers on the top strings but couldn’t solo with them.

C'est quoi ces accords de ouf 😅😅😅😂😂😂
