Holy fuck.

Is this the only known footage of Django? Jesus, he's really playing most of that with two fingers. It's like he's tap-dancing on the guitar.

Pretty sweet. :-)

"Someone" posted this on the youtube thread yesterday.

There's also one other really short clip on youtube:

Wow, nice. The other two vids on that wfmu blog post are fantastic as well.

You always read about that injured hand, but actually watching him play with it is beyond amazing.

If you do a youtube search for Django, you get a mis-labeled clip that's actually another guy - Stochello Rosenberg. He's pretty awesome but much wankier than Django. It almost makes me glad Django had only two fingers.

Wes Montgomery, "Impressions" with links to "Round Midnight" and others on the right.

Would Teh Perfect Guitarist have only Django's two first fingers on his left and Wes' thumb on his right?

Maybe.
