As fascinating as this is, I can't help thinking Django would have found all this veneration kind of amusing. No doubt he would have found it strange to see something which helped produce such wonderful music so silent.

@Kitsheen Either that or he's the gayest straight man who ever lived.

Fapy is a true gent! My favourite player after Django.

and the way he accents notes! fantastic!

@LMSStanier "global warming conditions"? Because North Yorkshire dales are famous for their dry and sunny weather! ;-)

Someone asked God, "build me a footballer". And he made Messi.

Warm and crunchy, sounds very, very similar to the Vielle Reserve.

Fapy Lafertin who is one of the greatest Gypsy guitarists in my opinion said something very interesting on the subject. Look up Samois 2010 Fapy Lafertin 1 of 4 here.

Astronauts have got some stones!

That's a bit of stretch to say that he's better than Django. Undoubtedly, guitar playing has advanced since Django's day. No Steve Vai's or Joe Satriani's then! But Django invented his own genre, every jazz guitarist since Django will have some element of his style and technique in t...

love these rtf sessions!

Dave Cameron doesn't look well at 10:37 at all

@MrPeterharold Do you have any poetry in your solo sir? Irritating? It's absolutely gorgeous!

I swear to god, you could cut her open, and you'd just see a bunch of wires and cables. Shame the software that runs her crap.

Thank God for George Gershwin

Bach and Beethoven are two of the most emotional composers who ever lived, and by that I mean their work has as an intense pathos that you can find in almost any of their compositions, regardless of whether it was in written in a major or minor key! It is shame that only the truly great performe...

Even the way he says "oui" is cool!

Django lives!!!!!!!

C'est bon!!!!!!!

Break My Stride? I'd say that presenter definitely broke mine! Wait until the end of the song lady...

Not that I'm given to hyperbole, but your videos transcend their subject matter. Really fantastic pieces of art in their own right. Superb.

@wheremybutchesat

how is she not bigger than lady gaga?

because she has talent.

I've been searching for this ad for ages! The music at the end is really haunting and I've always wanted to find out what it was. Do you know who it's by?

@Pimetalz All due respect but you're all totally missing the point, a great musician, or a great artist for that matter, uses his technique to get across what he needs to get across. It's just different styles and they are both equally valid. Victor Wooten may need 80 notes to get say what he wan...

The man is a quite possibly the finest method actor of his generation. Here's a man who quite probably was so fed up with the Hollywood machine he thought decided to toss a hand grenade in there by DELIBERATELY trashing his own celebrity and having laugh at our expense - genius!
