  • Rabbit,

    I think you're wrong about Bireli refusing to comp. It's an artistic choice. With 4 guitars playing theres only so much room. when the second guitar starts his solo he playing mostly chord melody. I think he lays out when taste requires it. Sometimes it's knowing when not to play.

  • rofl, Bireli always looks so pissed off

  • Who the hell is that Christian Escoude ? Maybe it's just this song, but his solo was terrible to the utmost, Bireli (who always seems to be pissed off anyway, as someone mentioned) was about to explode watching him playing :)

  • @swingmanu thank you for the insights, i don't play that style but I love to listen to it.

  • @Johaneeeek he played with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, replacing Gary Moore!!!

  • @GrimBat0l E minor

  • @lhurien And, of course, as you stated it, a real musician best knows when to play and when to leave space... in France, all these guitarists show the others great respect

  • @lhurien living in Paris, I can tell you one thing for sure: among gipsy guitarists, the lead guitarist doesn't play rhythm or hardly ever; top level players usually don't even comp very well... By the way, in the traditional django style, you would have 2 different rhythm players playing in perfect unisson, both for a matter of power and sound: the Selmer type mustn't be strummed too hard or it'll sound like a (bad) banjo.

  • I think it's an artistic choice too!!.. first time i've watching this video i've listen a percussion sound.. but no musician playing it... in fact i think it's bireli who is playing percussion with his muted string.. PS: i love all solos guitar in this song!!!

  • @twistedthumbv2 clapping to anything requires a beat...don't u think there is a beat here?

  • That guitar needs a haircut

  • Very bad sound this one is

    Plz think about true sound before you do it
