Oh yeah, I wasn't in any way saying anything against Michael's fingerings. People who are new to the GUITAR in particular should certainly follow convention in order to get a grip (pun intended), but for the many players who come to the style already fluent in other styles, expolring the two fingered approach can lead to good things...
Yeah I agree with that... it sure helped me to understand the chord forms that Django used and to understand the lead runs. It all made a lot more sense to me after I used just two fingers on a few things... then I used all my fingers but understood it more as a result. And I found many things easier just using two fingers... and it was FUN!
It looks as if this is going to keep me busy for ages! I can already see where i've been going wrong learning by ear by scanning through it, so thanks Michael! Very much appreciated thanks for your effort in doing this book, i can see i'm going to love this.

I've never heard Django play a note without commitment.
