Django In Guitarplayer

Anyone catch it? "10 Things You Gotta Do To Play Like Django Reinhardt"

About 5 could be summed up as "be Django Reinhardt"....

Saw that!

It seems like most of those GP articles have at least half of the recs saying something along the line of "you gotta be player X."

Still ... cool to see him in GP!!!

I didn't read it...only scanned it for a minute at the stand, I remember it didn't mention the particular picking technique or anything really worhtwhile, it had a transcription or something, seemed too little to justify buying the magazine.
Is there anyway someone could post the article here or something?
Not that I believe in the title of the article... but could be a bit of fun reading.

I think the guys from Guitar Player, really underestimate how hard this really is... :roll:

I remember a long time ago they had a Django lesson with alternating up and down strokes for la pompe.

Still it is cool that they are mentioning Django a bit more.
