    Not only to I like seeing your 2-finger style but also enjoy your faithfulness to the graceful style of Django. I'd just like to hear you do it on a Manouche style guitar.

    Good work, left hand excellent! Timing excellent! Right hand all wrong, and hence the sound all wrong! Try the "broken wrist" , you need to forget everything you know and just play very easy stuff with the better technique for a while, it's a pain and it's humiliating but it's worth it in the end

    Nice work learning that classic solo! But as @Wim said, you'll need to work on the right hand to get the right tone and phrasing. Get your wrist off the guitar and play all downstrokes as rest strokes.

    Good luck!

  • Good move.....I made the decision to change several years ago and though it took about two years before the change was almost complete ...it was definitely worth the effort.

    The Magic really starts to happen when you can play it with your eyes closed

    It sounds good! But learning gypsy picking is worth it. It will sound more like gypsy jazz that way. Take apart the solo and split it into phrases, use each phrase as a technique exercise. Practice slowly with the metronome using gypsy picking. The picking must come from your wrist and you must be completely relaxed. If you tense up, slow down. Those are key points I wish I knew when I started out learning gypsy picking.
