Chester & Lester is what i was going to say. Great rendition.I blew out my right index finger long time ago so i pay extra attention to thumbpicks even though i still try to use a plectrum and the nashville claw thing.Just cant do it the way i used to.Django didnt cry though and look what he was up against.Same with Les after he had heart surgery.Ended up playing with 2 fingers same as his mentor.Big irony there. Keep up great playing.

@redwashre Thanks so much. Les, Django and Chet were my 3 favorites.

@Myavrick Thanks for the nice comment. I always fly by the seat of my pants on this one.

Excellent! Rob, you just keep blowing my mind! Are you from another planet...LOL? Incredible technique and tone. As a guitar player of 35 years I know how difficult some of the tunes you play are. Hats off to you my friend.

Rob,

Your composure to allow you a quick nose itch at the :44 second mark yet still keep playing the bass line was most impressive : )

Very Impressive! I'm sure you would have no trouble with the Villa-Lobos arpeggio studies!
