Eddie Lang, guitar - Eddie's Twister, Okeh 1927

Who was better? Eddie Lang or Django?... And - are we right to ask such question: "who was better?"... They both were absolute geniuses of that small instrument, of a guitar...

  • I think you are a Musical fascist...

    Actually i don't care about what you said.

    Some of us prefer Django some of us prefer Eddie and others Charlie or Wes, or Joe or whatever, that's life man.

    You'are 43 now, you have to accept opinions of others people. Just go out of your Spiritual bubble, dude...

    Yes, i'm french but Django was a gipsy, not the same...

    And i like him cause his musical playing was beautiful, not for his nationality.

    Music is subjective... Accept that.

  • Lolz, 2 people have nno taste in mu...

  • @vincenz55 Django was and is the best.

  • most of us prefer eddie so django get lost

  • if you could have a choice to listen to one guitarist live of any era in time who would it be? for me eddie lang tommy tedesco and paco de lucia

  • @nonukia3000 I found a fairly elaborate interview with Grapelli from 1973, but I couldn't find him making an Lang / Reinhardt comparisons . (Any directions to other sources are appreciated.) All of the Segovia / Django stories are unverified. They range from him supposedly being astonished to not being impressed at all.

  • I fucking love this song!!!!!

  • @johnnysgretsch

    I learned of Eddie Lang through Lonnie Johnson. Have to admit, Lang stands out well solo here;

  • Listen To what Stephan Grapelli said about Lang V.S Rinehardt He would know better than almost anyone..

    Hell even the great Sagovia was stumped by Django

  • I now see where django got his stuff, great guitarist..

  • Awesome playing.

  • @cmcroce django reinhardt got stoned all the time. as did most musicians back i the day. louis armstrong and bing crosby ect...
