Playing guitar for 15 years and just totally re-inspired by this man. Such a privilege to hear someone combine charged emotional intensity with such technical proficiency. And I just learned he is coming to my towen of Juneau AK next month. Yay!

Why would anyone hit the dislike button on this? Great video. Thanks for sharing

Someone would hit the dislike because the violin sounds screechy.

People who complain about too many notes are often hacks. Dead notes or not, this guy can play and the phrasing is pretty damn good to my ears. But hey what do I know.

I saw the John Jorgenson Quintet last week in Honolulu. Astonishing musicianship and the whole show was a blast. Check him out if you get the chance.

@guitarman63mm John Jorgenson knows more about phrasing across a wider range of guitar styles than most people know in their favorite style. Besides being a Django Reinhardt fan/historian, Jorgenson has also recorded or toured with Elton John, The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams Jr., Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, Roy Orbison, Patty Loveless and Bonnie Raitt He is known internationally for both his tone and phrasing.

You can also find his CD's at Amazon. When you go to his web site you can also find where he will be playing with his quintet. See him in person if you can, especially if it's a small venue.

People are forgetting to rate this! Only reason this had a poor rating is that there are almost no ratings being done. This video offers some nice insights into Django's technique and approach.

A guitarist once told me gypsy guitarists play in the PHRYGIAN mode or scale,I think in standard tuning, I aways milk one string for all it's worth,then ascend or descend to the next and try to cobble it all together, a memory comes in handy,like Jimmy Page said,it's all MATH when you break it down.

Some might say that phrasing is more important than the amount of notes you can cram into a passage; I'm one of them.

I have always heard that Dickey Betts wrote "Jessica" with Django in mind, so it could be played with 2 fingers.

@0713mas 11 жыл бұрын

Is there a special kind of strings on that Takamine or is is the pick (obviously its mostly the technique) that gives you the sound? Also those strings seem unique more bend to them or something and the sustain seem different?

@909FrankieT 15 жыл бұрын

Video would have been better with John's vintage Selmer Macaferi petite bouche guitar. I think he may have been persuded to use Takimine guitar for the plug with Guitarist Mag. The strings sound way too flappy. The gypsy guitar is a dryer, crisper sound. There is nothing like silver plated copper wound stings. They bring a sweetness to the sound of the guitar. However for the purpose of introducing John Jorgenson and the Gypsy Jazz style it is fine.

My poor old dad saw Django and says these guys plus Rosenberg aint Djangos bootlace. He says that therell never be anyone like the Django he saw. Other guys like Emmet Ray who was brilliant went crazy. These new guys never saw Django he was like an old boot theyre like rubber thongs

@julkitan3017 7 жыл бұрын

The guys you're talking about are quite ones of the the best in this field, you cannot compare them to Django though, it's the same style of music but with 50 and more years gap, they don't play the same way and have different backgrounds and influences, musicians like Rosenberg, Jorgenson are really good and deserve to be heard, they are keeping the Django legacy with their own style and own songwriting. By the way Emmet Ray is a fictional guy, he only exists in Woody Allen's movie "Sweet and Lowdown"

Very nice. I believe that if you are going to play a guitar you should get one that is better than you ability as it will make you want to play better. I also believe you need a better axe. You really sound great however; You would sound even better with a really great guitar. Good sound. Never stop playing.
