You are all very welcome. It is my preferential playing style. My guitar teacher's musical partner ( Denny Wright - Lonnie donnigans guitar man!) accompanied Grappelli, Diz Disley drops in to see Steve. Steve worked with a) Ivor Moraints who met and played with Django, b) Ike Isaacs who played with Grappelli, aswell as being around when a foureteen year old Fapy lafertain ( I never can spell his surname) travelled two days to see Diz play in london. So we have some knowledge of the style. Remember though, Django wanted to play like Eddie lang/ Joe Venuti who he had seen in Paris before the Hot club was started and Eddie Lang is one of the most under-appreciated jazz guitarist. If i can be of assistance regarding guitars, playing, repertoire etc then everyone here is welcome to give me a shout. Best regards. pete.
