Of course, leave it to Frank to get to the heart of the matter, which really is that Django was a jazz player who happened to bring a lot of Gypsy stuff into it--the "Gypsy" sound really is not what made his music important--

If you are serious about playing guitar, you really need to listen to Django, and it is a great help, both for listening and playing, to understand how he did what he did. However, if you are an SGP(serious guitar player), you are really not going to want to end up sounding like old Django records--Not that there would be anything wrong with it, but it's been done already--
