Ive had an accident last year, which resulted in my left hand broken several times, losing my pinky and having almost no feeling in my ring finger. I didnt have the guts to even pick up my guitar since then. Might try some of this. Thank you.

As a disabled guitar player myself, I'm a huge fan of Tony Iommi and Django Reinhardt. I accidentally popped myself in the hand with a .22 pistol, totally destroying my pinky and leaving a lot of scar tissue in my ring finger. Much physical therapy and surgery later, I'm able to use those two fingers but most of my dexterity is in my pointer and middle finger so I play with a heavily modified fretting technique based on Django. I also use a prosthetic fingertip on my pinky based on the ones Iommi makes for himself, because my finger lost a lot of length.

Thank you for that Lucas, you summed up this genre well. I founded and ran the international Gypsy Guitar festival here in the UK for 18 years and have only played this style for most of my life (i'm no Bireli but i guess who is lol). The more exposure this style gets the richer the audience becomes so thanks again. Big fan of your channel BTW

Lucas you are such a fabulously well rounded musician. Beautiful beautiful player, extremely clear and passionate educator, fantastic and hilarious entertainer, and a great singer. Thanks for sharing your love for what you do and sharing your gifts - you truly are an inspiration!

09:14 - 10:31 this is GOLD...!!! Being able to create a memorable melody that a listener can hum is one of the most crucial elements to any successful composition. Add that human touch, such as feel, phrasing, and tone dynamics and you're well on your way to creating something that will last the test of time. It's a skill that's, unfortunately, rare to find these days.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Videos like this are just youtube TREASURE! Keep up the excellent work!

I have a skeletal problem in my left hand which prevents me from controlling my middle and ring finger seperatly and my middle finger is shorter than normal. This caused me to play with only 2 fingers. Through a lot of practise I learnt how to use my middle and ring finger when I could and started playing chords at some point. When I heard about Django it made me so happy. Knowing that there was a successful person in a simular position cleared up a lot of doubt for me. People kept telling me to quit and I am so glad I never did. Thank you for the awesome video.

I'm very touched to see Lucas seroius when he's talking about Django. Django created THE JAZZ MANOUCHE which is still played in France by Birelli Lagréne, Angelo Debarre and their friends and the Rosenberg Trio (nederlands) ...

I know how Django must have felt, because I feel like all these fingers I have are really getting in the way of my guitar playing

In France, the cultural name is manouche. Django was called a manouche, and sometime a tzigane.

As a guitarist who lost tendons in two fingers ( ring and middle) of my scale hand, i find Django truly inspiring

Amazing video Lucas! Thanks for sharing Django’s knowledge and music.

Love the info on Django as much as the great music. It is inspiring to see an artist have so much love and passion for his or her art. Learning from the past is a gateway to the future. Well done!

Loved this video my friend ❤ been a Django fan for a long time great to see more people appreciating his music and breaking down his style for us all

I had the great chance to listen to Stephane Grapelli live, may be 40 years ago. He was already an old man, but the energy flowing through his violin was truly fantastic. He was a great part in this new kind of music that came with Django and him. He seemed so pleased to play and share music with the other musician and the public. Unforgettable moment.

So glad to see you making another video on Django Reinhardt, and hope you will do more in the future! I especially like the speed and sound you're getting from only using your fingers, instead of a pick. I would love to see you do a video de-mystifying Luiz Bonfa's playing as well. Keep up the good work man. Quality content! Cheers from Norway.

great video! very inspiring and it opens many new ways to improve musicality, technique and improvisation, I'll definitely try some of you r tips!

What a touching tribute to the great Django, and an eye-opening demonstration of his technique. I was mesmerized by your ability to replicate Djangos' 2-finger arpeggios and joyful spirit. A master-class for music lovers

Loving the type of videos so full of nuggets and great great music, keep them coming!

Django was extraordinary. Many of his solos are almost beyond belief in their musicality and structure. Your video gives us a valuable insight into his playing. Before KZread came along gypsy jazz was confined to a few players but now it seems there is an explosion of guitarists & violinists captivated by the legacy Django and Stephane Grappelli left us.

Thank you Lucas, I had listened to Django before but I only appreciated and developed a taste for it after seeing your videos. You're good people.

Great video Lucas, the story of Django and his legacy is indeed fascinating and addictive! Chord wise... the real mind job is when he played full 6 note chords, major 6 shapes for example using his thumb to play bass notes and moved in and out of them with apparent ease, just mind blowing, fascinating and really inspiring. Keep up the great work! :)

I love Django! Among your many great videos, this is one of your best lessons and tributes. Thanks!!!

Great video.Django was an outstanding musician an a true survival example for all. You made me want to rescue that Django's compilation CD I bought long ago and, sadly, I must have listened only twice at the most. Thank U Lucas You really Know a lot 'bout Jazz Guitar.

I can't like this lesson enough. Your approach to improv through singing has resonated with me. Definitely looking forward to picking up my guitar tonight. Thank you.

Very glad youre still doing this series :)

Great job! I love the analysis of Django's technique. It makes me even more in awe of his playing.

I have enjoyed many of your more facetious [but entertaining] postings . Great when you get serious. A sensitive homage to Django and as always - your own talent shines through. Thank you

Thank you Lucas for this very inspiring video. I didn't know this detail about django. I am always admired blind guitarists, and BB Jones was saying that we had to learn to live with our limitations. He also had some limitations on his hand. But Django's case is very inspiring and educational. Thanks for bringing this up. We love you.

Love the way you love and respect the guitarists you introduce to us Such a good video ! 🌹🌹🌹

This video is genius. Thanks, can't wait to check out the rest of your channel!

Thanks for this lovely video Lucas . Everything about Django's life and music brings joy to my soul .

really enjoying some teaching from you Lucas - big admirer of your playing! thanks

Outstanding! Love your channel, always musical and informative

Great as always Lucas fabulous information!🙏🏻

love this style of videos bro, very awesome job

I would add that to me, Duved Dunayevsky is one of the best guitarist staying close to Django's legacy. His work on the whole aestetic of Django's music is unmatched.

I’ve been listening and playing guitar for 55 years I’m creeping up on 70 and there’s so much more to learn thanks again.

Thank you Lucas ! I just discovered your channel and it's great ! You are very talented and your videos are great, thanks for sharing that !

I'd love a series like this from you. Either just about Django or just general music history

🙌🏽 joy to hear you explain and see you play

Thank you Lucas for your great effort to close up such fascinating guitarist like Django! I have known just a few facts about him, but now I'm motivated to explore more. Brilliant video! Best till now!

Wow.. Thank you so much Lucas for having respected the Gypsy Legend D'jango Reinhardt.. A good job.. 👏Appreciate the way you have categorized his talents and biography briefly with his rare clippings and selected pieces like Minor Blues* etc., quite a treat Lucas.. 👌Rarely people of this generation heard about him I guess.. Good that you have uploaded.. 👏Thank you again.. 🙏 Warm cheers.. 😘 God bless🙏

This is one of the best lessons on jazz improvisation I've ever seen.

That video lead me from playing Technical Difficulties to Minor Swing. And I love it. Thanks. This is Conservatoire level of lecture on music.

So good to have you on KZread!!! Grateful

Man! I usually don’t comment on KZread... but I’m really impressed with ur video improvement, I think this is ur best video untill now; I’m just struggling to figure out how to play jazz. I’ve started in acoustic guitar in 2019 and now I’m able to play fingerstyle arrangements but I don’t know if sometime I’ll learn to play like u

Loved the video! Your playing is very inspiring

Thank you for introducing such a legend, which I would have never discovered myself. Just a great pleasure to have u explaining things.

After seeing this episode (and the one about Tarrega) I became your big fan;) This mix of teaching and inspiring is great! Thank you!

Thanks for making and sharing this. Love Django.

The first vinyl guitar LP I bought was "Djangology" back in the mid 60's. I was blown away and was convinced that Django must have had more fingers than I did. I was staggered to learn he had only two fully functioning fingers. I listened to it for ages trying and failing to understand how he did it. Finally, after almost 60 years your analysis has finally explained it. Thank you, Lucas.

An incredible video Lucas. Well done.

An amazing tribute, Lucas. The only thing missing in this wonderful video is a clear view of your right hand.

I like this new style of videos! Very nice 😃😃👏🏼

I'm a metal head who is learning blues to improve my skills and music understanding and you get me back into Jazz and Jazz MANOUCHE ! THX LUCAS !

Detta var en riktigt bra video, fortsätt så! 👍

How have I known of Django for over a decade and just now find out he hand a horrible accident that left his hand half paralyzed? Anyone else? I never had anything happen to my hand, but I could never hold the neck and fret the chords like the other kids in my guitar class. My hand would cramp and lock up. I almost gave up, but I found my own way to play and gave up trying to play other people's music or other people's way. It's been a 30-year journey and I am still on it but playing guitar has literally saved my life.

Awesome video Lucas 🔥 🔥 👏 👏 it's amazing how he was able to reinvent himself after that horrible tragedy. Great theme, great explanation. Keep it up dude! 🙌🙌🙌

A soulful respect to someone who really deserves it!!and now many new people can know about him thankyou lucas

Django is always so inspirational ❤️ Great video and playing

Beautiful playing Lucas! Bravo!

Really enjoy your videos. Your a great player, and teacher. And very entertaining.

Thanks for sharing gypsy jazz on your channel. It was funny and lovely listening your solos approach. Viva Django 😎

Among the best videos ever, for guitar, fantastic!

This was a great video and content, bravo!

Great content Lucas, great content!

Great video, thanks. I’ll certainly look for more about Django!

Oh man I love django- you are an incredible player yourself. Appreciate the lesson

love your channel. your tone is amazing. wish you could talk in depth about right hand technique, practicing rest strokes, etc

Django's swing feel in his melodic playing was and still holds up as beastly. No guitarist's study is complete without his influence.

That was really fascinating Lucas, thank you!

Hey. Thank you! This video is inspiring in terms of "don't caring about usual techniques and being creative to find your own way to play". I once started to learn the guitar and played the left hand with two fingers - resulting in interesting stuff. Someone told me, that it's stupid to play like this and I barely continued to practice. Your video tells me to just continue and try - until I find my own independent playstyle.

First brar video I've seen straight up subscribe. inspirational.

What a gem! Each of you. Thanks for the introduction.

Thanks for this Lucas, a great tribute to the wonderful Django.

Why i love Lucas so much, is because he actually teaches us how play and be creative, instead of those video's that only teach you one song. keep it up dude!

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Lucas, I just discovered your channel. Great work!! I love all the information you shared.

Ellie must see this. If you know what I’m talking about

Merci pour cette excellente vidéo. J'ai appris a jouer le jazz manouche par amour de la musique de Django alors vraiment merci et bravo

Thanks a lot for this great video on the legendary Django, I always feel like jazz manouche is such a free and burdenless form of music where you can play it just any way you like. There's plenty of crazy theoretical masters in the craft, but also people who can't even read notes, like Django himself. It just goes to show that it doens't matter how you do it, as long as you play the music and feel the melodies and harmonies, you can be one of the greatest.

I too play electric guitar solos with 2 fingers only. As for now, I can play: Hotel California, Sweet child o'mine, Don't cry, Stairway to Heaven, Sieze the Day etc solos.

Great content, Lucas.

This video is amazing wow! To only think this video scratched the surface only is insane!!
