zgress Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - here he surely is borrowing plenty from Benson, but Lagrene is truly in his league. I would love to hear Benson attempt to play Gypsy Jazz.

Dec 6, 2008 - i totally agree with you zgress.. and bireli plays bass too! many people say he is the reincarnation of jaco.. but nobody can touch him on gypsy jazz i think

adjazzment Says:

Dec 6, 2008 - this drummer is very weird!! lol

sintygypsy Says:

Dec 6, 2008 - correct on both accounts, he sings and plays violin as well. I've come to the conclusion Bireli is actually from the X-men. He is a mutant. There is no other explaination.

Dec 7, 2008 - Does anybody now where to find guitar tabs of this version?

erod1944 Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - Somebody please find the "lack of attention span" camera person and just shoot em. I'm suprised the camera person didn't just put the camera on a motorized 360 degree revolving tripod and rev it up. Wonderful playing. Suckie Camera "work".

Dec 28, 2008 - Hi i am about to buy a guitar and i'm really into wes montgomery, benson, joe pass and ... Considering i'm on a budget of less than 800 dollars could someone reccomend a guitar thanx.

BillyC15 Says:

Dec 30, 2008 - I thought it was kinda cool for entertainment purposes. But as a guitarist, if I had my way, the camera would be focused on his picking and he fretboard the whole time.

Jan 3, 2009 - Try the new Ibanez Pat Metheny PM35 ~

MRmonkadelic Says:

Jan 4, 2009 - well...no question...he's a great musician and one of the best guitarist..but in this video...in my opinion...he just wants to show us how fast and how much he can play...for my ears its no really great...but that's just my opinion...
