        A little trip into Django Reinhardt’s world. Brian wrote this wonderful “Gypsy Jazz.” A piece to just sit back and relax to.

          Melodic, sweet and technically immaculate. Well-done, as always, Dieter. I’ve been a long-time Django Reinhardt / Stéphane Grappelli fan. There is a terrific book by Michael Dregni called Django, The Life and Music of a Gypsy Legend. He was known as “Django” – a Gypsy name meaning “I awake.” His legal name was Jean Reinhardt. His life story is amazing.

            Or the strength of an Oak with roots deep in the ground.

                So relaxing. The beauty is in your feeling in your emotions on that 6 stringer.

                The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

                It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
