he could use those fingers for quite a few chords tho, but their reach was very limited, so it doesnt work in solo's, which makes his solos so insanely incredible.

Straight genius, the sound of a beautiful soul.

This is an informative, but poorly produced video. The pictures of Chet Atkins and Merle Travis are mislabeled, with each bearing the other's names. And it's Jimi Hendrix, not Jimmy.

Incredible story of the inspiration and drive that took Django to greatness. Thank you for the share. I knew of Django but did not know his story.

Thanks for this informative look at a humble genius. Delighted to learn of this wonderful man!

Merle Travis and Chet Atkins names and pictures are backwards, Chet is on left, Merle on left.

I wouldn't say Django was the greatest ever, that's a matter of opinion. I was lucky enough to see Barney Kessel play.

WoW! Good Point! Don't Believe Anything a Doctor tells you. Their Famous for Death Sentences.

Just to let you know the photos of Chet Atkins and Merle Travis, you have the names wrong. Chet Atkins is on the left and Merle Travis is on the right. You should be more careful.

Django Reinhardt has no equal to this day !

Definitely greatest two finger guitarist

Roger is not antisemitic but rather anti-Zionist

Noice. . . man dems some fast fingers innit.

Advertising is more and more stupid. Lies and lies and lies. That's enough.

63 years old , never knew this , I thought it was about a women , I did always like the song , McLean very good song writer ,, no more song writers this good . Thanks for schooling me .

Great job! Succinct and dense!

Merle Travis and Chet Atkins have their names switched with their pictures! Sheesh! You misspelled Jimi Hendrix. Do some research and editing. Know your subject before you teach.

BB King said he emulated Django’s vibrato.

The beauty of the guitar is that its so versatile and Django used that to the fullest.. TWO fingers and the many different tunings and the will to NOT give up

Not sure about the general public, but in the guitar world he is considered a phenomenon. Thanks for the video!

Reinhardt's grandson is supposed to be fantastic as a guitar player

Stop talking kak

The greatest of all time. No question.

Hey Behind the Music: you mention Reinhardt's "two finger mastery." Take a look at the footage at 00:08:35. He's using all four fingers on his right hand, and he does this regularly for certain chords. Watch your own video, please. You are perpetuating a myth about one of the greatest musicians the world has ever known, and it's an insult to his legacy.

Django was amazing; Some points not hit on... Django was slighted in Ellington orchestra because he thought he should have been featured. He met Les Paul while in the states. Which freaked out Les because Les was emulating Django and he was his hero. There was a little dust up at a dinner they had together when Django thought he was slighted by the waiter. After Django's death Les went to see his grave sight and met his son who played How High the Moon for Les, but his played all the overdubbed parts besides the melody. When I went to France in the 60's I looked all over for anything Django but could only find one of his last albums where he was playing like Johnny Smith a music for lovers recording. He covered it quite well but I wanted to hear Hot House not smooth jazz.

Michto mon cousin 🦔

I knew this two fingered guy in high school. The girls loved him. G-Spot Johnny is what they called him.

Hey aaron I was here first

Best British band ever

Sad that it's not safe to play even a few seconds of music from 80 years ago in an educational film due to worrying about corporate copyright bots and trolls. This is why we can't have nice things.

And do not forget the One And Only Johnny 'Guitar' Watson.

The man with the original AI hand 😂

Django was far from the greatest jazz guitarist of all time. Maybe jazz manouche, but not jazz. The seats for greatest jazz guitarist are reserved for Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass

BS ‼️ greatest Jazz guitarist ever - are you serious ?????

yep...if it weren't for black men, popular music of all kinds would NEVER exist. White men stole jazz, too. Good news!

As long as we're limiting it to jazz, I suppose he was the best.

so you could say he put two fingers up to disability.

Greatest guitarist of all time… Greatest guitarist ever… What’s the difference!?

Chet Atkins looks a lot like Merle Travis in this video. Which is weird because Merle Travis also looks a lot like Chet Atkins.

Is this an AI generated video? All these strange generic video snippets, the lifeless text and captions …

Without music the video is quite Blunt

I have fond memories of Tony Gatliff's film, "Swing" which came out back in 2002. Tchavolo Schmidt on guitar, some wonderful jam sessions. The film has all but disappeared. I would love to view it. The film was an homage to the music, the people who brought it to life for the world. It is hard to find or hear anyone performing this music in the San Francisco, California area.

For those interested in the history of jazz guitar, there is a very good CD set "Hittin' on All Six the History of the Jazz Guitar. It is basically organized as pre Charlie Christian, Charlie Christian, and post Charlie Christian. It has six Django Reinhardt songs.

merle travis and chet atkins names are on wrong pictures.

I can’t belive you didn’t mention words JAZZ MANOUCHE more 😂

💜💙💚💛🧡❤💞

Wes Montgomery is the greatest jazz guitarist .

what is a "balisica"? come on.

No music,just a soap box orator....

Django Reinhardt never heard Jimi Hendrix, Hendrix wasn't even born in Reinhart's lifetime. Just more AI BS.
