He played all of his guitar solos with only two fingers, and used the two injured digits only for chord work." Freaking amazing. Has anybody seen Tony Gatlif's movie Swing? It's absolutely lovely and inspired by Django. If you like it, Gatlif's other movies are really worth watching too. They all revolve around music, mainly gypsy and Roma. Other favorites are Exils and Vengo. Enjoy :-) |
