It was about 8pm when all of the usual dudes of MSA will hang around in the lobby of MSA chatting and talkin' bout guitars and stuff, but that day was different. Django's music was on then the usual FM.
One of my friend ask, "This guy is pretty good". "This guy is Django!" WHO IS DJANGO?
To Me, Django is the father of all shred!
Born 1910, in Belgium ( The best place for Beer, i'm goin there with my dudes later in life, the mission is to test all of the beers around the country ..:) )
Jean " Django" Reinhart, invented The Gypsy Jazz Genre.
One of the most high levels of shred i can say, the genre is simple.
1 Violin , 1 or 2 Guitars.
Violin plays melodies , guitar emulate the drums as for beat/groove. Guitar Shreds! from time to time.
(Check this out)
He was a Banjo player before he dig guitar, after some accident of a burned house, he suffers from 3 degree burn and relearn to play the guitar , then HE SHREDS LIKE HELL WITH ONLY
TWO FINGERS
OMG!!! Can you believe it?
He shreds better then anyone with more than 2 frettin' fingers. (Of course in that era)
Who can beat Michael Angelo Batio and Rusty Cooley? Japanese Guitarist??!! haha Look Out!!
Other than that super stuff, I like the way he is, He is so cool, the cigars and the trimmed mustache. The attitude of a rock star which he only cares of his own feelings.Damn!!
If you guys can dig vintage songs, Django is a must!
The One i like most about him is his GUITARs... haha guitar freak alert!!!!
D hole and Oval hole guitars, i've check the price of these guitars and MAn are they expensive!!!! We are talkin' bout a few K's here!!!
