In this video I play using only two fingers in my left hand like the jazz guitar legend Django Reinhardt! The song I play is the classic jazz standard "Autumn Leaves". Arranged for fingerstyle guitar by Lucas Brar.
Django Reinhardt was born 1910 and died 1953. He left a jazz legacy that to this day is unsurpassed. Together with violinist Stéphane Grappelli he would form the famous "Quintet of the Hot Club of France" group, creating a completely new style of jazz that was to be known as "Gypsy Jazz" or "Jazz Manouche". Django has influenced countless guitarist such as Charlie Byrd, Wes Montgomery, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel & Chet Atkins to mention a few. Great modern day guitarists who play Gypsy Jazz you should check out: Joscho Stephans, Bireli Lagrene & Adrien Moignard.

Performance: 10/10
Skill: 10/10
Fingers: 2/5
Jrexx28 you mean 7/10
@Tristan Lavictoire left handed guitarists
THIS IS COMEDY😂😂😂
Wow that was a very HANDY joke to remember
Well you stole that one from Brushy one string.
Imagine this guy with 2 fingers is better than most guitarrists with the whole hand. Impressive.
This is the advantage that understanding music theory gives you
@@Tin0unoduetre Well also understanding literally every guitar technique and having fast and accurate fingers might have something to with it. It's almost as if Lucas has dedicated his life to practice waaay more than 99 per cent of all guitarists out there. But yeah, it's not the amount fingers, it's about knowing what to with them.
Ostap Kurtash He knows ot
@@Tin0unoduetre Did Django know much music theory? Thought he just played a ton til it sounded good. How do you learn theory while illiterate?
@@Etat7 music theory is basically just scales and intervals its not super complex. Just playing you learn basic music theory like what intervals sound good (a perfect 5th for instance or C to G). And what sounds bad like a minor second (C to C#).
So... there's a few corrections to be made here, though i definitely agree he was the greatest jazz guitarist to ever live (and one of the best guitarists of any style), as well as the very first iconic Guitar Hero.
Django was not illiterate, though his literacy was very basic (there is a letter from him to Stephane Grappelli during the USA tour with Duke Ellington) in 1946 that shows that very clearly. Later in life, he was very aware of musical theory, and though he wasn't proficient in musical notation, he was composing a very sophisticated Mass with the help of friends.
Last but not least he didn't play only with 2 fingers, though he had very limited use of the burned fingers. He usually employed them to pin down the lower strings in certain chord shapes he favored for chord soloing, for instance.
(I've been researching the life and legacy of Django for the last 22 years and I am currently the administrator of the tribute page to him on Facebook).
You should link it. I would like to see the knowledge you have obtained 😅
all of that work for a facebook tribute page, you should be giving talks about him in museums.
Everyone: Hold my beer.
Django: Hold my pick.
Everyone: Gimme that beer back...
@@Special_Agent_NSB play Oblivion NPC but its Jazz
"Finally something i can play"
*Watches the video*
"Nevermind"
lmao
I was thinking the same : )) Great timing!!
Victor Lin's I hear ya!
Damn.. Is this coincidence?? 🤣🤣
loooooooool
Lucas try and make this a series where you try and impersonate other guitar legends
Daniel Olaniran that’s a pretty good idea
He’s the legend of all legends
Sounds like a great idea!
YES! Next episode: Wes Montgomery and his "thumb sound"
@@LucasBrar yeah i'd like to know about more Great Jazz Guitarrist
Lucas I have the same disability as Django with only the first 2 fingers available. This gave me a ton of inspiration after having to relearn the guitar all over again since my accident in 1971. It's much harder for follow Django due to the quality of film and the quick changing chords, etc. This really helped me immensely. Thanks a bunch!
Dont worry guys, ellie can play guitar without 2 finger
she could also learn left handed guitar
Now the ending just makes no sense at all
and this is what i searched after finishing the game
Who is ellie?
@Daruki Neo Then it's dumb af, endings are supposed to be for narrative purposes, the symbolism is only supposed to be a result of a well crafted narrative. Also they ruined that symbolism anyway, you still hear the guitar riffs during meaningful moments while playing as Abby, which has nothing to do with her. Last of Us 2 was a great game in all respects except its writing direction, which was simply so terrible everything else great was harder to enjoy because of it. Credit to the writers and artists who still put all the effort in anyway, may their effort stand as testament to getting executives out of art and entertainment.
ok, now play without finger
*open tuning*
he will play it with his teeth just like jimi hendrix.
*nothing else matters starts to play*
Dj0nt?
Play without guitar
lucas and django with 2 fingers >>>>>>>> me with all of my fingers
sad but it's true
Hey you’ll get better with practice!
My first guitar teacher told me the story of Django back in the 90s. I was into thrash metal and punk. He told me to go to the library and check out his recordings. Best lesson ever. Django made me rethink a lot of what I thought I knew. Made me look at the guitar and how I played differently. He is the ultimate guitar player of all time! You did good man. Really puts things into perspective for those of us with 4 fingers.... and what our potential actually could be.
Thank you for the inspiration. I've always wanted to play, but no one would teach me because #1- I'm left handed, and #2- the index finger and thumb on my right hand are non-functional due to an injury I suffered when I was 8, I am now 55, and after watching this video, I KNOW there has to be a way, that it IS possible, and I'm going to find it and learn. Again, thank you so much for giving me hope.
Do it, man. That's the move.
Dude just teach yourself. There's literally unlimited resources now with the internet. Just look up left handed lessons
Listen more to Django Reinhardt and get more inspired :)
You can pluck the strings perfectly fine, and you can play like Django with your fretting hand. Even f you don’t develop the level of dexterity that other players have, you’ll be able to do something different. You’ll be forced to play differently, and you’ll probably play differently than any other guitarists, so that even if you can’t do what they can, you have something different.
do you live in the bay area?
Next: Playing Stevie Wonder’s songs blindfolded
"I made you come with two fingers, imagine three"
You couldn't find the g-spot..let alone a g-chord
Jason Farrell lol
Ellie.. you're safe! Watch this!! 🙏
Django should be an inspiration for any musician of any instrument. Anytime I feel like my hands are just not built for piano or guitar I think of Django. Don’t let any physical limitations impede your musical growth.
Anyone else heard “ the autumn leaves”??
Yeah, mid way I was like " is that the chord progression of autumn leaves" and then he literally came out with the ending melody of the song
From the beginning ;)
Hmm
Autumn fingers
Wait wasnt it the song that he payed?
How could someone not hwar it?
Love learning a little history while being thoroughly entertained.Another great one Lucas!
Glad to hear that!
_Entertained?_ Amazed you mean ☺
Nice to see a big TH-camr who appreciates my cultures music long live django’s legacy
Odel si lasho
Just amazing!!!! You are a great guitarist Lucas...!!
Epic 👏👏
Thank you Lucas for this quick but really great tutorial. You've helped me come a bit closer to understanding and appreciating this musical genius. Before written music there was only, ...music! Your other related video(s) are of tremendous help and value. The road ahead is long with many twists, but that only makes the journey even more enjoyable. Hej då.
so well done. Lovely. Nice to hear
This is such a good arrangement of Autumn Leaves. The playing is just magical.
Thank you for this tribute to The Master!
There are actually a lot of gipsies around that don’t know how to read or write but play music heavenly. No surprise, guess what django was
makes me laugh when when some musicians think having musical literacy is totally necessary, f***ing snobs.
They know about music they just don’t use the same vocabulary, and they can’t read sheets. But harmony they know pretty damn well
Always Awesome! Thank you, Lucas for another great entertaining video. And a respectful nod to Mr. Reinhardt.
You are a true inspiration Lucas🙂 Such feel for music! Keep it up!!
Fantastic Lucas. I've loved Django since my father introduced me to his music maybe fifty or so years ago. I cNt come close to playing like him, but I was thrilled to see you finger picking Django as I much prefer fingerpicking. Sometimes due to a touch of arthritis in my hands I try to play with two or three fingers. So your performance basically blew me away. Thanks!
Glad to hear that, thanks for your comment! Django is so inspiring in the way he dealt with his challenge. Keep playing! :D
Django was one of a kind. One of the greatest guitarists to ever live
Amazing guitarist! Thank you for posting.
Wonderful demonstration of Djano's style !

Beautifully executed, as always
That was simply a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs! Django would be proud.
I knew about Django before TLoU2 and instantly thought of him when I heard about Ellie
Ellie better look this up
Autumn Leaves.. great tune done beautifully by a great guitarist . Bravo!

Имитация Джанго! Это действительно впечатляет! Браво! Вы сделали свои вариации на многих музыкантов, соединяли разные стили. Интересно бы было увидеть Ваш взгляд на музыку Джими Хендрикса. С уважением!
That was amazing Lucas, you're fantastic! 👏👏👏
Very inspiring man thank you for the video
Ellie needs to learn from this guy
Ellie liked this.
Dude that was truly fantastic!. By getting the two end notes of the chord and knowing the open string to play......I'm just blown awaym would not have thought that could be done
Chapeau. Impressive. You made a great show outside, that demonstrate an authentic sincere tribute inside. Maximum respect for Lucas.
Ellie will need this 😔
Ellie: "But I've been through some bad times and I-
Guitar teacher: "Stop complaining and get back to practicing Ellie!"
I just saw the end of the game and everything went to fucking bad this is heartbreaking. A very good game but not the one that I was waiting for.
Last time I was this early
Lucas didn't wear a fedora
Soooo......... Never???
Early for what? Being a jagoff?
Absolutely Brilliant! So Badass.
Beautifully executed, as always 💚
No one : i bet you can’t play like django.
Lucas Brar : Wait, hold my beer.
Lucas, dear, let us know what you drink, so we dont need to "beer the metaphore". By the way, this brouhght tears in my eyes, more than awesome!
* Hold my pink and the other finger next to it
Hold my hat
Walt, when you use the "No one" formula/joke, are mocking or praising?
nice one, this inspired me to chop off a couple a fingers
Heard your Django influence the first time I heard you :) He's been my idol for years, I'm even reassembling a Gypsy Jazz group again!
Keep up the awesome work, nice tribute!
Lucas, very, very nice homage to Django - you never cease to be a marvel!
Ellie has entered the chat.
Who's Ellie?
@@alinaa6940 The protagonist of The Last of Us Part II
@@millsharkov9221 thanks
@@alinaa6940 You're welcome :)
The last of us 2 feelings
Nicely done!!! 👏
Wow, great job Lucas!

I couldn’t play that using all 10 fingers and lets add in 5 toes.
Robert McDaniel what if you were to use 10 toes?
I believe it would be just as bad as my 10 fingers not cooperating on a fretboard
Why is your channel so underated, you are great man! Keep walking that bas, you are killing it. ❤️👌
Unbelievable!! Your talent is incredible!
I'll send this link to my friend, ELLIE. She lost her two fingers during a beach fight recently....
🤗
Haahahaha sure..a beach fight...too much alcohol and fumes, classic
@@naduprice Crazy college kids...spring break got WILD
Usul573 You do know Ellie isn’t a real person, right?
@@bobbleberry193 Wait...Ellie is not REAL?! WHAT
Ellie from the last of us is gonne need this video more then ever
Absolutely incredible ✌🏼️
captivating, love it.
Ellie should watch this...
Who is ellie?
Nah, naughty dog's writing directors should. Also they should take a night course in basic narrative structure, after they lose their jobs.
@@HaasiAustria someone hasn’t played last of us 2
OMG, me with all my fingers I can't play what Lucas played, he did well on the walking bass line
What an amazing idea and so well performed Lucas! Reinhardt was a huge inspiration in my my early guitar ventures. I recently lost the ability to use my middle finger on my left hand, so I feel closer to him now more than ever, haha. Keep up the good work mate. :)
That was beautiful. Thank you
Wow, just imagine what he could do with his whole hand
ellie from the last of us could learn some things here
Fantastic,BRAVO!
Absolutely incredible!!!!
“My fingers are too fat... my hand hurts...“ JUST PLAY!
I am a fan from Django Reinhardt can you play Minor swing with two fingers
Just beautiful!
That was some spectacular playing.
I wonder what made Django decide to continue playing that way after the accident as opposed to relearning guitar fretting with his right hand and plucking with his left
Here's what's amazing: according to biographies I've read, until the accident, he played banjo. He took up the guitar *after* the accident. So this is how he learned.
What I read is that he was a violinist before the accident and found it hard to articulate lines in a phrase that were on the same string. He needed a fretted instrument for articulation.
@@leonardhudson3810 I've heard recordings of him on the banjo but forgot he started on violin. Of course, once he teamed up with Stephane Grappelli, there was no point playing violin anymore.
@@joeldcanfield_spinhead There are 2 or 3 recordings from 1942 in Belgium, were he plays violin. And there is a recording , also from war-time, were he plays a bass-solo, using a bow, so it's a little bit like violin. It was "Japanese Sandman" with an orchestra. It's amazing, because it really sounds like a typical Django solo on guitar!
@@JonnyRobels Sounds amazing. All the versions I find have Django on guitar. Any chance of a link?
Expected to see tlou fans wasn’t disappointed lmao
Wow wow wow this is crazy how you put together those jazz chords and improvisation with just tow fingers👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lucas, you have inspired me to continue learning!
I couldn't play like that with a full complement of fingers.
behind the scene : Brar Accidentally used his ring finger :3
This version moved me. I've heard and played autumn leaves for nearly 2 thousand times, but this version clearly had something special
Unbelievable! Awesome!
Django as played "echoes of france " who is a jazz remake of " la marseillaise " the french anthem " ( yes i am french : ) cool vidéo btw )
Ōkami ehhhh la France représente
UwU France représente X)
Can you play a spanish song called "Quien Fuera" by Silvio Rodríguez? IT's just a master Piece of the guitar
you did so well!!!
Wow that was impressive! You really got his style down. Well done 👍🏻
Ellie cant play guitar anymore only joel song remain 😢😢
anyone here after the tragedy of the last of us 2?
Your right hand technique is so precise, nice.
I was reading about Django Reinhardth, and this video is really helpful in order to imagine and to understand :)
Who’s here after Last of Us Part 2?
Can ellie play guitar like this? ;(
Or she could try to learn how to use her other hand
Felhek Lehrian or learn how to make a satisfactory ending to the game she’s in
Great tribute, Lucas. Django was such an amazing guitarist, hard to believe he nailed it up to play with 2 fingers.
