This morning on my way to work I was listenning to Botar (Bandits of the acoustic revolution) and there was this song (I think it was something like “A perfect life” or something … I don’t remember) with this crazy gypsy-like guitar solo and it immediately made me think of Django Reinhart.
I remember hearing about Django Reinhart for the first time in the movie Swing Kids. I was amazed as soon as I started listenning to his stuff (though not that easy to find…). The man had only 2 fingers, had to survive through the second world war… and was an INCREDIBLE guitarist. I really want to learn to play like that … uhm. So here’s a couple of video of Django or people playing his song (quite well I might add):
Cheers Y’all!
