Awesome Playing .... What kind of guitar are you playing ? it sounds great ! (though I know a lot of that is because of your playing but still).

the answer to you question anthon_74, lies in the previous posts.

Really enjoyed your playing Stu - inspiring!

Thanks Guys
Yes its a MJS Maruejouls guitar--second one he made i think.
Still its fair to say,with all due modesty,that a lot of the sound is finally in the 'hands'.
The right hand technique is crucial of course but talking to Fapy last yesr in Samoreau he told me to work on left hand finger strength--he said it was the secret of getting great tone--not just vibrato but also left hand finger pressure.If you listen to Django (or Fapy) he often creates the illusion of using vibrato on every note even at really fast tempos---what hes actually doing is using a lot of finger pressure.

Stu - you thank Gonzalo, is that his background track you're using, or licks from his book as well?

Yes Gonzalo's backing--superb--but the licks are mine:-) (well Django's of course mostly:-)

Very nice indeed.
You have something to do with that Brazilian site, do you not?
Wonderful site.
And how appropriate of you to give a nod in the direction of the French website.

Wow, great solos!

Would it be a lot of trouble to split it in two separate videos? I'd like to download it to mp3 so I can transcribe some of your phrases but the file is too big for the free converter that I use (100 meg max). That vid is 159 meg.

Thanks
