[TheMonkeybanana93]

[Vaankar456]

So, what is this crap anyways? Its just a bunch of mess, more or less like that young music called "death core"

[NOTgarycoleman]

I'ma play dis song to ma BItchez as I makes ma Moneyz.

Troof!

[MrMorelloJr]

3:32 damn I wish I could change a string´s pitch that way!

[olliestar123]

how does this guy hold his prick

[olikakashi]

@olliestar123 He probably hold his prick like any other man hold his prick.

[nylonskyofficial]

i give up

[DoorMat444]

I bet he breaks his low E string a lot! ;)

[Cairnivore]

@DoorMat444 assuming it's actually tuned to E lol

[fuckthewhat667]

4:10- Badass.

[clevelandgirlrocks]

I can honestly say that I truly Love this man and his Guitar, not only is he the best in the world, but Rosenberg is unbelievable, I wish they would come to Las Vegas, there is no Jazz Musician's here in Vegas . We need this here.

[heathhamguitar]

He can hold his pick how ever he wants if he can play like that! wow!

[Piterbt]

The best guitarist in the world ( blue light is reflection from some reflector )

[fearfultom]

;-) very interesting

[studiojurdan]

an idea about the mic used ? DPA?

[slugworth99]

Great music! Going to be in Paris in September this year. Anyone recommend where I can hear some good music like this Django-reminscent stuff?

[Lucasius19]

Django's footsteps

[elkahiman]

Bireli, t'es pas un être humain !

sérieux, il est trop impressionnant, ce devrait être interdit pour pas décourager les jeunes guitaristes en herbe qui atteindront jamais son niveau :'(

bon c'est décidé, je brule ma guitare demain :o

[FeelPureVolume]

DOPE!!!!!!

[funkyflautist]

massive into this guy at the moment,, phemonenal...

[andacsayginozcan]

bireli siker

[Dethsquirrel]

did the phrase @4:45 make anyone else think of Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria?

[IANPHILIP888]

unbelievable

[xemosintightsx]

77 people are paraplegic

[chaotichild91]

The very last thing he does... is shake off his hand. =D Great guitarist! OH MY GOD.

[kamleon]

very good

[oldlen92]

4:12 is epic

[superhowtoloseweight]

This is intertesting. Waka video!!

[RMENIAN88]

The pause made by scratching his neck made that section better.

[Matd8e2]

Wsszystkie nuty ma ogranięte i imprwoizuje po swojemu

[simplechocolatediet]

Nice job on the video looks good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[jacobwolos]

Beautiful! What a quick mind!

[truehealthyproducts]

Nice job on the video looks good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[aronori1]

2:17 scratching his neck..

[Kyllleur]

playing with fingers is so much more sensitive... (i'm not sure if it's the right word, my english is not so good)

BUT

I love what he's playing :D

[Kyllleur]

playing with fingers is so much more sensitive...

But... I love what he do :D

[ssolred]

5:46 - 5:51 Summertime blues :)

[SleepyHoIlow]

[sacha9646]

OK Did anyone see the blue light that occured when he picked @ the 47th second of the video??? I told you bireli was a magician.... 0.47

[zeffy00]

[orlandoCF1]

absolutely stunning!!!

[BERTRAMCAT]

GOD IS GIPSY

[sdhweb]

Very entertaining!

[petermanouche14]

beutiful



[ltfunko]

6:11--best face ever.

[glennielsen]

@ltfunko thats his dave matthews face

[dylanlawless1]

@ltfunko Biréli Lagrène et Sylvain Luc- "Isn't she lovely"  @ 2:10

it's worth it. Best bireli face

[keefster001]

That is how to play, take chances and when it works, like it does here, it really is something special! I wonder why some people did not like it? Strange, but it is a free world (so THEY say) K

[MickBReedy]

@2:22, just shrugging the devil off his back

[mimibyrd]

73 people don't know what it is they're listening to...

[G3r0n1mo]

5:55 - 6:11

Holy shit!

Tommy Emmanuel said Bireli is the best!

Maybe he saw this vid..

[MrBrunoCB]

Ok!! master!!

[pablo80212]

increible .....................

[rebbesoul]

great player. Picks up where Django left off.

[MsMe712]

He produced the sweetest of notes and then some not so sweet, but to all come together to produce love entrenched melodies!!! I was totally aroused....... ;)

[hollisterd00de]

this guy changes chords in like .02 seconds... truly virtuoso

[ikezz]

awesome, no words

[zymoon]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh­hhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he so good!!!!

[sukmyback]

Music is an art, not a buisness. Sadly that is what it has become with all this poo today that is called 'music'. I swear all this shit today only concerns either ones 'moneyz', or 'bitches'. Or how one misses some 'girl' or 'baby' or anything of that nature. And to anyone sucked into that hell hole, well, sucks for you. This stuff here is real music. And anyone that is capable of making you lose control of your bowels with only a guitar and ones creative image, they deserve major kudos

[farbrorblo]

@sukmyback Talk about close minded. There are many aspects of music, and many different genres. Just because this is good, everything else must not be bad.

[FreeTheJambon]

@farbrorblo There are good aspects, and bad aspects.

Plus he didn't mention any genre or artist in particular, just that nowadays wave of non-music we are exposed to daily.

[xraycortina]

@sukmyback One of very few songs in my life that have literally moved me to tears in their wonderfulness. Last one was Echoes by Pink Floyd. Not at all the same thing, but they had the same effect. I didn't know manouche jazz until a friend gave me this link, possibly to stop me enthusing about Rush and 7/4 time signatures.... Thanks so much for uploading.

[donjaysus]

im shivering... thats the guy i need sitting in the corner doing his thing while i have sex

[CrAzzyWak]

People have said incredible stuff about him and I just want to add that this is the most brilliant solo perfromance I have ever seen on guitar. It has to it more than the mere sound and notes.

[luizoliveiraguitar]

Amazing!!! Woew!!! Does this guy has any instructional videos? I t would be amazing to get some tips from such a monster!!!

[Mrthouroug]

how does this guy hold his pick?

[gurra9]

@Mrthouroug Standard I think but when he does some harmonics he holds the pick between his thumb and middle finger. However the interesting thing is how he attacks the strings but there is a few videos here on youtube that explains how you do that in gypsy jazz

[elevedesfb]

@Mrthouroug

That's how you hold your pick when you play manouche guitar

[bufeva]

@elevedesfb Im pretty sure you can hold your pick however you want, no matter what style of music you are playing. The only exception is Flamenco.

[alejofar]

@Mrthouroug He holds his pick very much like an oud player. If you check them out you'll see that they are very downpick heavy. I think they influenced all of the gypsy guitar guys.

[Ultraspontane]

This guy is a madman

[stoner1144]

Woah, he's just messing around !

[NucksPride]

i wish more musician played good organic music like this one. nowadays its too synthesized, not saying they all aint good, but i think music should be mainly like this.

[TheWendgi]

I like the Mauro Giuliani sonic references. You hear a lot of Starobin influence.

[andrus9000]

Bireli = genius!!!

[giantrobot9000]

I actually laughed out loud at least twice watching this.....first at the harmonic run near the beginning, then when he started messing with the tuning peg. Incredible player.

[moses427jr]

This man is JUST fantastic. Only with a fast brain, fast fingers and a good sense of humor in a finebalanced mix, you get this amazing performance. I love you, Bireli..!

[MultiBEATA]

oh my god u are great i hope to play with u one day fav guitarist

[Puolll]

And i see this guy live on sunday!

[romanocavoro]

gypsy people are so tallented in music.

sasto bachtalo te aves muro phral. devlessa

[godsucksmygenitelia]

I was born when i first listened to this. I don't consider my previous time on earth as life.

[marcus38447226]

you can't listen to this music...you have to feel it! this is some of the purest cleanest comunication from one human to another you will ever find! no filters, insecurities, or fears, so natural yet surprising. Django would be so proud that this music lives on inside people like us and bireli

[awfulguitarplucker]

it sounds a bit like some sorta Tommy emmanuel of gipsy Jazz here

[aivalisco]

AMAZING! 

[shedrankit]

i bet this guy goes through strings pretty fast =p.

[ILikeJuice]

Ahhh there's so much clipping on this song. It's horrible. I know he's a bit rough on the guitar but he's not hitting his strings THAT hard.

[spoonoff]

As much the technique, it's his total melodic understanding that is amazing. Bravo. I'll never be this good, but it's still inspiring and makes me want to practice rather than give up.

[6StringJazzer]

The man does the impossible.

[lens2optic]

why not rehearse and create a structured song to improvise within ...this is just a process that usually ends up being an unstructured racket that only the musician is enjoying...an ego massage.

[SteefStevens]

@lens2optic sure.. idiot

[melibass]

phenomenal!!!no wolds!!what can u say on this????

[BuzzE0]

BIRELI RULES

[kazukimiyu]

you play is bad! django,

,jhosco sutephern is very fuantasutic!!

[Bassawesomejazz]

Biréli est vraiment l'un des meilleurs, une pure improvisation alors que l'on croirait qu'il a écrit ce qu'il a joué, tellement c'est superbe. Un musicien exceptionnel, vraiment bravo ! & merci d'avoir posté cette vidéo. ;)

[LongDragon9009]

U r dantes of guitar!

[blah148]

just posted a new django reinhardt lesson video for guitar

check it out!

[diabeticmonkey]

This video is insane.

[beleza175]

incredible! Bireli rules!

[ZotMalakhov]

Thanks my brother!!! You very great guitarist! Excellent video and very good performance! It very beautiful music!

[marcoferraz]

master

[manmadeofCO2]

He should use a guitar that stays in tune.

[RonPaulMountainBiker]

He's not tuning, he's changing the pitch of the string intentionally, it's a technique some guitarists and banjoists use, which requires ALOT of skill.

[diabeticmonkey]

@manmadeofCO2 You should quit typing.

[malmsteenzz]

This is madness..10*

[bluesborn]

A vibrant,joyous,impulsive,match­less display of rare artistry.

[matthewhenson1]

This blows my mind. Anyone who criticizes a display like this simply cannot recognize genius when it is put right in front of their eyes.

[randyexiomapaq]

cool. . .

[AnarchiveMagnetik]

Peace !

[Imagymnast114]

IN MY OPINION i dont really like it that much

[Hoopermazing]

@Imagymnast114 - Me neither. This travesty is especially galling because I know what he is capable of. It's basically a fuck-you to the people who've paid to see him. (Let me clarify that, I'm sure that the wealthy patron of the arts types who've seen him 100 times don't mind this kind of avant-garde self indulgence. But for someone who might only have the opportunity to see him once, this would be a kick in the nuts.)

[SamiKun]

not only wealthy patrons! but also musicians! being a guitarist i throughly enjoyed this! but i see your point!

[JimmyDeLocke]

@Hoopermazing you obviously haven't seen the rest of the video this comes from -- it's about two and a half hours long, and includes a set of by the gypsy project, guest appearances by every major player in the genre, a guitar summit of unbelievable magnitude, and this jewel of an intimate soul bearing gift to the thousands of avid fans who filled that venue.

Switch to decaf, bro.

[Hoopermazing]

@JimmyDeLocke - Where are the videos of those numbers?

[Imagymnast114]

YEZ I LOVE thumb downz, gimmie

[JimmyDeLocke]

@Imagymnast114 yes. Being a gymnast, you must be a friend of pain ; )

[jorgeneo222]

muy lora pero toca

[DarthFunky]

De grande quiero ser como tu...

[Judplay]

This improvisation is, I think, Bireli's way of spoofing himself just a but, but also showing his most dedicated fans how far his genius has taken him. I know of no one else brave enough to de-tune 2 or 3 strings in the middle of a solo and end up in key. He's so far ahead of other acoustic guitar pro's, I'd say he's looking for something new to say with his music, having mastered all the usual styles and genres.

[bonifazius45]

funny is in the end his left hand had no power any more^^..

really good impro...

[TheBumbleTeam]

wow at 2:55 :o

[eliep37]

@TheBumbleTeam so beautiful...

[joystix100]

most of this guys talk sour having really hear bireeli lagrane yet they need to go and listen to him play standards ,you will be greatful.

God bless you birelli .

from a george benson fan!!!

[swingsixstrings]

many thinks but meaning nuthing at all

[ShimoOwnzU]

\m/

[goatrek]

is this a comicshow? sounds fucking terrible

[golfbil]

anyone got tabs?

[guitarrazos]

Ok, ....now i have a guitar for sale..!!!!

[sintygypsy86]

rofl

[guycherubin]

he is godly awesome

[guycherubin]

i don t want to hear anymore illogical comments.....

[guycherubin]

he is god, truly god of the jazz and manouche guitar......... no comparaison.... pas de comparaison...............c est fini..

[elliotboy1233]

yeh, when he plays stuff like this it's just a little too much for me and I dont really wana listen to it. Maybe my ear just isn't developed enough to really appreciate it but I sorta wish he'd just calm down. It's such a shame cause when hes good, he's the best! but this just didn't do it for me

[meithink1991]

i mean....hes good....but god this hurts to listen to lol... what wasted skills. this sucks balls and makes me sad. all i have to say.

[Hoopermazing]

He's obviously got amazing chops, but I've watched four of his videos and I haven't liked a single thing that he played in any of them... especially that smooth jazz crap.

I'm going to listen to a Manouche guitarist who doesn't clown around so much.

[caranauba]

you'd like The Rosenberg trio more, traditional i guess

[Hoopermazing]

Bingo! I really like Angelo Debarre too. There is a video with Biréli Lagrène with Angelo Debarre and Stochelo Rosenberg... Biréli isn't clowning around with those guys!

[skate5580]

De une il fait pas le clown, et si il le faisait, je pense qu'il peut se permettre de le faire .... et si il fait le clown j'ai vu le concert sa dure"6min42" sur 3 heures de concert

[sintygypsy86]

clearly you've never heard him play a joe pass style before

[Hoopermazing]

I'd settle for seeing him play jazz manouche sans the clowning around.

[TLPnega]

obviously the crowd likes it. It sounds good anyway, there's a place for clowning around in music as well.

[Hoopermazing]

@TLPnega "...there's a place for clowning around in music as well."

Perhaps, but not when people have paid good money in the expectation of seeing one of the world's best Manouche guitarist perform Jazz Manouche.

[zenguitarguy1]

@Hoopermazing umnnn am curius if you have ever had to solo/improvise all night in front of thousands of people, night after night, where the focus of attention is your musical explorations?? He has played the manouche tunes thousands of times and STILL consistantly manages to find something fresh and unique each night!!

[zenguitarguy1]

@Hoopermazing also This particular style of completely in the moment improvisation is actually quite traditional and I think thrilling as you are watching somebody explore completely in the moment and that my friend is Jazz. I cannot imagine the challenges he faces having to improv as much as he does, but I have and will pay good money to watch him explore because that willingness to risk is what makes his playing so exciting!

[houseofcharm]

@zenguitarguy1 I believe he has a map in his head about the basic structure though and then flies with that.

[VCRider]

my idol

[VCRider]

just 'wow'...!

[Saccomani]

amazing guitarrist!! I like  Birelli with jaco pastorius!!

[oldpython]

A guitarist clowning around playing games for the children. Very funny and entertaining. He is very loved by his audience and that is great! I never am disappointed when watching him show off.

[sacha9646]

il s amuse réellement avec son instrument... un vrai génie musical.Continue ton SHIT Bireli Continue ton Shit man chui trop down avec TOI pour vrai la!!!

[KooGuitar]

Lagrene is fantastic, but stochelo does for me every time. Meeting him soon in london!!

[pascal27able]

He used to be my favourite. But these days, i get bored when I listen to him. I think he already said the best of what he had to say.

[Teccknooo]

LOL

[musicbymax]

2:25 sounded a bit like "classical gas"

[caranauba]

SWEEEEEPSSS!!!!

[TheDrey94]

My favorite guitarist !

[ABCvitaminD]

gross tone

[willy1986tralara]

wow

[sxmadrid]

You're in!

[00Dakka]

absolutely insane

those eco picked runs were phenomonal

[dasilvaj2008]

the real genius of this man is not his technique or his chord vocabulary or any of those things in themselves. the beauty of it all is that he's making music out of it. you may know every bebop riff there is or every chord form out there but that doesn't mean you'll have anything meaningful to say. it's not only about what to say but when to say whatever it is you have to say.
