pippy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Whilst searching around for help with my G-J guitar I was pointed in the direction of this chap who, it just so happens, plays the same make and model as mine. He's somewhat more accomplished, however............ ENJOY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsLBc0SW95w P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis G Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 And this is what that Reinhart Cat sounded like? Damn, I been missin' out! Yeppers Mat, you been missin' out! Look for some Django vid's on Youtube, but there's not much out there. Keep in mind that due to an accident (fire, I believe) he only had the use of his index and middle finger on his fretting hand. If you find a vid, it's fascinating to watch him play. Here's a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzz6fAdFFis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his wife made celluloid flowers for a living and those are highly flammable. The doctors wanted to amputate his leg but he would have none of it. Also, the 3rd and 4th could be used for some chord work, but indeed all solos were played with 2 fingers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
