There's a fella from LA who comes round to this site occasionally named Jonathan Stout.
Jonathan's put together a real nice 20-minute YouTube video on the guitar style of Allan Reuss.
Allan Reuss (1915-1988--- about five years younger than Django) was a legendary rhythm guitarist who played in big bands including Benny Goodman's and Jack Teagarden's.
He also played some single note style but based very much on a chord-melody foundation.
Reuss's Gibson archtop sound is as "all-American" as Django's Selmac sound is "European", but I have long loved the rich "advanced" chords he uses and Jonathan Stout does a good job of explaining them...
Merry Christmas!
(And for my fellow atheists, Merry "War on Christmas"!)

Paul Cezanne: "I could paint for a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing."
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
Georges Braque: "In art there is only one thing that counts: the bit that can’t be explained."

Don't mean to hijack the thread. But if anyone is a fan of say Charlie Byrd then you might enjoy checking out the real thing and that might be in the spirit of this thread's title.
