[BlueonGreen7]

Great playin man.I can't believe i haven't been to see you live.I think your from Birkenhead as i am.

[rogerdiamond]

Thanks so much! Yes, I am indeed from Birkenhead, Oxton in fact. Where are ya from? We play the 3rd Wednesday of every month at Djangos riff, wood street, Liverpool. Its a great bar, great clientele, come down there if ya can! Other than that, we're normally around doin festivals, or random gigs here there and everywhere. Hope to see you (all) soon, best wishes, and thanks again for all the nice comments!

[muskatnuts]

Superbe interprétation.

[20wtube]

First of all your playing on this song is ubelivable!!!

I can't believe I haven't heard of you before.

You're quickly becoming one of my fav cureent gypsy jazzers next to Angelo D. and Joscho S.

I respect other current greats and would never criticize or discredit anybody but that's just me.

Now please when you have a moment tell us how you got THE sound here?

It took me a few seconds to realize it's really you playing live.

It sounds 100% 30's Django records, you captured the spirit too!

[rogerdiamond]

Hi there, thankyou so much for your comments, I'm so glad that you enjoyed the music. As for the sound......firstly, the guitar I use is a 1932 Selmer replica, built by Dave Hodson who, sadly, passed away last year. As for the recording of the sound; strangely, if you use a mic of lower quality, it replicates the standard of the day, thus giving you the vintage tone. One of the most genuine I did was using a web chat plastic mic, which cost a fiver!! lol. Anyway, thanks again, best wishes, Paul

[NijelBoswell]

I just noticed Django's simplicity in his songs... Im suprised I didnt think of it... Its brilliant in its simplicity!

[ALERENDA]

me gusta escelente tienes alma django reinhart por gente com tu y yo nunca nunca morira only django for you my love guitar love

[oppis]

Excelent solo! I noticed you use quite thick pick. Is that a wegen pick??

[rogerdiamond]

hey there, sorry it's taken me so long to respond; I only just realised you asked a question!!! Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the music. Actually, the pick I used here is one I made myself. I've been experimenting with different materials, sizes and shapes, and eventually found my ideal combination. I still use moustache picks also, usually 3 or 4mm. Thanks, best wishes, Paul

[llanbradach]

Very nice playing, loved the whole feel of it.

[NikoGue]

just amazing... saw modjango live in jango's reef in liverpool few weeks ago!!

[serpentofbabylon]

the best cover of nuages i've ever seen hands down. so many people try to make it into a shred song with all kinds of reverb/delay/flange it's painful to listen to. but you the man, keep it up.

[OleTC]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank You very much.

[brothergoodfoot]

wow, dude, wow!

and what is it about those guitars? they just don't sound like other acoustic guitars at all!

[isker80]

amazing! django's spirit still rules!

[Chordwayze]

Very nice indeed. Please get some better reproduction? Your talent deserves that much...

[cartoonage]

absolutely gorgious, ty

[rubistyle]

kelle kariere, c est tres bien

[ILOVESKATE50]

good !!!

[Myasma]

Wonderful playing! Loved it!

[maxwelldewitte]

Nice. You should get a copy of Roland Dyens's arrangement. ;) But with improvisation skills like that I don't think you need it. Keep it up.

[serpentofbabylon]

thats funny you say that, me and monsieur dyens played it his master class one time. it is pretty good, but this dude did a really good job (way different and still awesome)

[serpentofbabylon]

i dont mean to be a fancy dick calling him 'monsieur' btw, just cant imagine calling someone like that 'Roland' like he's my drinking buddy hahaha

[maxvolwassen]

That's quite enviable, playing with the master. I learned so much from Dyens. :)

Please do elaborate on your master class... I'm curious to know what kind of guy he is.

[serpentofbabylon]

i thought he was a real laid back, chill kinda dude. all i know is i played 'tango in the sky' for him scared out of my wits (since he wrote the thing), and all he did was compliment me on it and give advise to improve real non-patronizingly (while he could have easily tore me a new one since he plays it a 1000 times better)

[maxvolwassen]

The Tango en Skai, yeah I play that too. That note ziff is so hard to put in motion. :O

Cool to hear Dyens is a normal guy.

[alexguitare]

hey bro very nice plus your sound is great sound like django at the end of his carreer what are you using except your finger??sound beautifull

[gresleyviper]

Excellent as always!

[JaneGregory]

You've done it again bro - awesome work! This is my favourite of all your vids.
