Django Reinhardt’s birthday just passed and I posted a solo of his that I transcribed, on my Instagram. There are a few players that have had massive influences my musical development. From Synyster Gates, to John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, and a few more really had an impact on me, but Django Reinhardt might be the most influential on me. Because of his music, I’ve played with amazing musicians, attended awesome concerts, learned how to play jazz, and bombarded my girlfriend with 1930’s swing music for countless hours.
