First Post Introduction
Hello, I have never managed to get to grips with Gypsy Jazz, not having the required dexterity to accomplish the impressive runs. That has not stopped me loving the music. I first stumbled upon the Django album "Djangology" decades ago. This was the album in which he was backed by a rhythm section of musicians from Rome. Frank Vignola was a bit sniffy about them, but this recording had me hooked. The version of "Minor Swing" on this album is the best I have heard. I look forward to seeing postings on this site and will definitely attempt the basic exercises provided. I don't have a Selmer-Maccaferri guitar and I play fingerstyle. Other than that I am only handicapped by my lack of talent.
