The video shows Antonis Arfansis playing along to Nuages.
A couple of things:a) the sound of his guitar is perfectly balanced with the one on the recording with neither out-powering the other b) he plays the solo with two fingers and the comping seems to be spot on. It’s like watching Django play. C) There’s a mistake played by Django at the start which is replicated. You don’t realise until it’s pointed out
Enjoy

I love these videos from Arfansis particularly as he includes the Django accompaniment as well as the solos. It is fascinating to see how Django probably played rhythm with his handicap and despite having only a very limited chord palette, achieved the most incredible tonal variations. I find his rhythm playing on "Tiger Rag" particularly fascinating to watch.
