Solo cover of Django Reinhardt's "Tears"

Here's a solo-guitar arrangement of "Tears" by Django Reinhardt. You can get an MP3 here: http://adrianholovaty.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-youtube-vol-1

The introduction is taken from Pat Donohue's acoustic-guitar version (highly recommended!), which in turn was taken from a piano introduction from one of the original Django recordings.

@FishStik5ive Interesting... I was always taught to pick by sweeping with the nail on my 1st finger (which apparently begets the same sound). Go figure.

[FishStik5ive]

@GelatinousYam Wrong. Django and almost all other gypsy jazz players used picks, and the pick itself is an integral part of the whole genre.

Beautiful

@Rory99M Everything was fingerstyle. Picks are great for derping as fast as possible, but not for making actual music.
