  QUESTION:  
 
Hi Marty,just wondering do you listen to any Django Reinhardt or gypsy jazz music? You have a definite spanish/oriental style in songs but often I hear gypsy style diminished riffs? Do you like Django stuff and do you reckon he deserves more recognition as he did most solos with just two fingers on his left hand and still belt out 400b.p.m with his right? Just seems that a lot of guitar players will miss out cause they dont know of him or his music.What are your thoughts on Django?
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
I thought the movie "Sweet and Lowdown" was great! Django was great and a unique player. It's really unbelievable how he played despite only having 2 (!) fingers on his left hand.
