Django would be stoked to know that someone talked this in-depth about his improvised solo this many years later, breaking it down.

"You hear so many guitarists playing fast things...without telling a story." Muy excelente!

I attended Antoine Boyer's online masterclass last month and he played us I'll see you in my dreams by Django Reinhard on his laptop and said that "Django was the most complete guitar player of all time, he had volume, he had feel, he had rhythm and every piece of Django Reinhardt is a masterclass in music."

I've loved Django's playing for 60 years but until today I have never seen such a close analysis,. Thanks Lucas.

OMG you went to the next level: visuals and lead sheets with the music. Excellent!

The most compelling aspect of this amazing solo - all the technical and musical mastery aside - is that Django is having fun. Some of those little riffs and repetitions are like little jokes and pieces of whimsy. As magnificent as they are, they're not to be taken seriously, except as the virtuoso displays they obviously are. Django, I think, wants you laughing along with him. It's an invitation to be joyful. I think this is important to note (pun!) as too may musicians (generalising!) are way too serious.

Thank you for this great presentation. So many aspiring guitarists - like myself (and I am 80 yrs. old) - are completely bewildered by Django's incredible abilities and range of creativity. Many professional/great guitarists of today, and, yesteryear, have all claimed to have been inspired by Django's playing, i.e.: Charlie Bird, Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, Herb Ellis and so many others have all acknowledged this fact. The great Paco de Lucia, who was my idol, also made mention to me of his complete astonishment as to how Django could perform with such precision whilst improvising. Paco, also added, that the guitar is a real bitch to play, and that it never got easier no matter how advanced one's playing had become.

The first time I heard Django Reinhardt I was floored .I couldn't believe that his playing abilities were what they were..incredible.

I remember buying his complete works at the age of 14 on cd. Truly inspirational... and alongside stephane grappelli... Just other- worldly!

There's something awe-inspiring about seeing and hearing the people who deeply impress the people who deeply impress me. I've learned most of what I know about Django Reinhardt from both you and Willie Nelson, and I'm always excited to learn more.

I have to be honest, being a very average player most of this was over my head, but how enjoyable to hear such wonderful improvision and explained by someone who knows what he is talking about...wonderful

Gotta say this kind of video really hits different, it's like setting aside the meme part and becoming more human while you show how much you fucking love music, and that's something to empathize with

There are different versions of the story floating around, but the first one I heard was around 40 years ago, and I'm inclined to think the Django version is the original (over the Jimi Hendrix and Charlie Parker versions), largely due to Stephane Grapelli telling the story. Stephane told a story about a party to which Andres Segovia and Django Reinhardt had both been invited to play. Segovia was on-time, had his instrument, and played his set. Django arrived three hours late and without a guitar. Segovia, being a guitar snob, wouldn't lend Django his guitar, so someone ran out to fetch an old guitar and pick. Django played with pick and fingers and amazed everyone with his tone and musicality. Segovia in particular was stunned, and asked Django where he could purchase the sheet music for the piece he'd just played. Django just laughed and said 'Nowhere, I've just composed it!'

Never liked jazz, but listening to your interpretation about the great Django's music opened my eyes. Thank you so much

Have loved Django and the gypsy jazz sound since my youth. I’m in my mid 60’s and didn’t really delve into the intricacies of the Grappelli & Django sound until my 30’s. I will forever be in awe of their talents, especially with Django’s handicap. Thank you for your deep appreciation of this legendary artist, especially by someone with your expertise

I've heard Django Reinhardt's name mentioned a thousand times before, but I have never checked him out, and now finally seeing this, it has floored me, what a master.

Firstly, that was an absolutely brilliant demonstration and analysis of Django's amazing solo. Showing how the fingering would look if we had a closeup of his hand was a stroke of genius, and probably a real challenge! I share your love and admiration for Django's playing and musical creativity. It often leaves me shaking my head in disbelief and wonder. His use of rhythm is an important component in making his melodic playing so memorable. The damage done to his hand by the fire forced him to adapt a playing technique used in India by Vina and Sitar players of primarily using just the index and middle fingers. Django obviously expanded that to play on all 6 strings of the guitar. I also find it interesting that there is a historical and cultural connection between Gypsies and India. Thanks for this wonderful video and I hope you make more like it. 🤞😎

There was no musical genius like Django before he came along or since his passing. Pure genius, absolute perfection. Who could not listen to his records for hours on end?

I had the good fortune to attend a Stephan Grappelli concert in the late 1970's, supporting him was the 'Diz Dizzly Trio' who had studied the Django catalog and they played exceptionally well! The musicality and beautiful logic of Django's playing is soothing like a Bach piece, it appeals to our brains. Nice work sir.
