Fascinating.

Certainly a novel take on the “and this is what it sounds like …” video, but visually could bring on headache if viewed too early in the morning.

Yeah, I found the visuals to be uncomfortable to watch. I'd rather just have watched a video of him just playing the thing.

Still, I was surprised to find out he's interested in this style of music.

Yikes! I think I might be going into an epileptic seizure after all those flash cuts...if no one hears from me in the next few days....oh, nevermind.

Hope it goes to someone who can play it, or at least someone who can spell Django's name properly 😉

Better hurry up and apply to refiance your home, before it's sold!

@crookedpinky I've been buying Guitarist every month since Alex Bishop started writing a column for it and Niles was interviewed in the December issue, he talked about how he started out playing Gypsy Jazz trying to copy Django - so there you go!
