JmacNYCT, Thank you for your nice replay to my comment, I have no intention of being rude. My mom was a champion west cost Swing dancer in San Diego in the 40's, and I am the leader of a swing band. About 6 or 7 years ago she started dancing once again and she is taking lessons for a top teacher...

Yea, who doesn't like to watch a cute skinny chink play guitar, but like that has already been said, nothing new here. It don't mean a thing if it ant got that swing, it's just a lot a fast licks with no soul.

Totally cute, .I hope in the future she really learns to play guitar.

Good job for a beginner, to bad she missed the last nots. She's really cute though and we will probable see her in some all girl bad ass rock band.

Yes very good but by for not the best,check out Smokin' Joe Robinson at age 16 doing every bit whit this guy is doing and with more grove. this is a little to tex book for me.

Django being as colorful as he was many believed he was the best at this music form, this is not true. Many think he invented it, this is not true,The Schmitt family, the Rosenberg family, Oskar Aleman and many others were also playing the music of the Gypsy and in the same league.

All of his lead work was with two fingers, for cords he was able to use the third finger and thumb. And with altered cords first used by Freddie Green in big band he had it all going on.

Really loved watching this vid.. could do with another pice of music, but that's just me. I'm thinken that your scrhip's stay home because the want to. My schip could slide right under that gate. My schip lives on a boat in a storage yard, he owns the yard and even with the gate open and tem ways...

It would be much cooler if he was off his leach. My schipp go's under the snow, to watch him all you see is a hump moving around.

It is, with the great Mr. Bojangles”

It is said the he learned to play as a kid by sitting at a player piano and copying the keys. later he became one of the best stride guys around. He also could play classical music very well. A true master.

Hey U all, have you ever heard of the "Castles" and there band leader Mr. James Reese there band leader? well Mr. Reese took the funky butt and made it excitable for the whites. he evened the waltz, fox trout and many other dances. The lame steps you see on this clip was he whites trying to get ...

It's all about the foot work, and west cost swing is more laid back with the feet. my Mom was a west cost swing dance competitor in San Diego in the 40's she's in her 80's and still dances. This dance has some east and some west in it. I play in a hard hitten swing band today and see great swing...

I don't know how this great dance clip turned to race, but everything you see in this clip was already done by the lindy hoppers from the savoy ball room, they are all black... you don't see them it this clip.

I don't get it .. don't you people that post comments spend any time watching Youtube? first, the song is a blues, how old it that??? ( a 1-4-5) and where and when did it start?? second, the dance you see started with the "funky but" back in the early 1900's or before, 3rd it became the lindy. Th...

The song "OneO'clock Jump" was one of Basie's jam tunes at first and they called it "Blue Ball" when they used it to close a radio show Basie was asked what the name of that song was.. not wanting to use the name the band called it Basie looked up at the clock and it was 1:00 and there you have i...

I"m not going to dis it... nice long ride, but if you want real!!! go to the North Shore Vancouver and ride the back side of Grouse Mt.

Start it up by Robben Ford???? who in the hell is that, surly not any swing band I ever heard of. They should be dancing to the Brian Setzer band....O YEA !!!
