This is Django's improvisation No. 1.

[shakti9]

that's right.. a real masterpiece

This interpretation of Improvisation n°1 by Stochelo is just awesome!!! I tried to learn this piece for month and I just know that I will never reach this level of playing... Playing fast is easy but playing fast with this sound is just impossible...

See you in hell Stochelo

Just think Django was making this piece sound like fingerstyle waaaay before Malmsteen ever figured out how to make his Classical pick style sound like fingerstyle.

@LatchesPH me too in my opinion better than django

@ChiTown7721 So true. I've been playing 20something nps on an electric, playing Malmsteen, Rusty Cooley, Muris Varajic and pretty much everything from the 80s. Then I turned to Gypsy Jazz, and woahhhh, did I get a huge revelation!

Not only did my forearms die for weeks on end from playing acoustic like an electric guitar. One thing is just following a basic harmonic minor pattern, sweep through a few major/minor arp inversions etc over power chords. THIS is a ridiculously HARDER kinda hard.

@pokbacsi100 Malmsteen is Django's bottom bitch!

@LatchesPH: Playing fast can be easy or very difficult. The problem is a lot of people confuse speed with technique. Some things that are slow can be a lot harder to play than music that is faster because it's more complex. It's harder to play complex music at a slower pace than it is to play simple things fast. Musicians like Stochelo are amazing because they can play very complex music at incredible speeds. Django lives! :)

Django...I feel...would be so...impressed..amazed..astoni­shed..and delighted with the ongoing fascination for his Great Legacy of Guitar Music...and so should he be..!!

[SamiKun]

it was actually when he was recording a record with the quinette. the record label requested that django record 2 solo's, he decided to improvise one and this was the birth of improvization number 1. read this from the book "django" :)

Look at that fat pick. Boy can he use it. Wonder how Django came up with this? Maybe just to prove a point to Segovia that he had what it took? Legend has it that when Segovia heard him play, he asked where the sheet music was, to which Django replied, "How can there be music? I just made it up!"

1:40 ce n'est pas un tapping mais des harmoniques tapées!

cette impro enveloppe de manière générale Django et elle est l'une des plus difficiles à jouer !
