"Limehouse Blues" - Django Reinhart

[Bro]

Tried to play one of his songs, limehouse blues.

It does not sound that great, but i wanted to try something new, and you cant blame me for trying can you? 

[Bro]

Trying not to sound too bitchy here, but i really would like some sort of response to this, since its so new to me playing this style.

I couldn't play this as well as you have done but I have played some rhythm guitar with gypsy jazz players.  They have certain chord voicings that really give the sound its support.  They use versions of 9th chords and they hit that beat with a vengeance. Let your rhythm stray away from metronome perfect and it doesn't sound right.  And keep up the attack.  Really hit those strings as though you are driving the rhythm all night long and taking no prisoners.

Like I said, I couldn't play this whole thing like you but that's what I can say about gypsy rhythm.

And you didn't sound bitchy.

Kudos for taking on such an ambitious task.
 doing a Django Reinhart piece is tough
if only a violin player was here to do the Stéphane Grappelli parts
nice tone btw
did you use a flattop acoustic?

[Bro]

did you use a flattop acoustic?

No i only have 3 guitars a classical, a western and a electric, those are gonna have to do the job, but they are all very versatile guitars, and they play almost anything. So no i didn't, just a ibanez western

I've never heard of the guy! lOL  But then I couldn't begin to play the way you do.  Great job!

You should carry on with this style. I'd LOVE to play gypsy jazz, but it's just not gonna happen. Sounds like you're well on your way though. Yet again, you're showing your versatility to tackle anything. You're a great guitarist!

If anyone is interested, I have a few gypsy jazz backing tracks I could post for you play over.

Thanks! And the backing tracks sounds like a great idea! Post em!

Hey this is really good! I've never heard the original, so if I didn't know it was you playing, it could've easily passed for an older accomplished guitarist...you know what I'm saying? Good job!

Super playing once again.  Man you are going to be good when you are 20.  Holy crap.
