Sweet Georgia Brown - burn'in solo by Biréli Lagrène

Hi Guys,

I was looking for some examples of Sweet Georgia Brown on youtube when I ran across this. I just had to share it.

This is some of the best guitar pick'n I've ever seen. Bireli plays such cool stuff and has monster chops on top of it.

Great ! , check this one ...

That line he played at the end by turning down the tuning knob was ubercool. Fantastic.

Man, that was awesome.

There's something about the way he plays this stuff that really grabs me. He plays with the chops of Al Dimeolia but his lines are more interesting. It's interesting that Django invented this style and only had 2 fingers to do some of these kinds of licks.

I love this style. I want to learn some of those lines, but I'd have to slow them way down ...

Dude, that was sick! That's one of the best versions of Sweet Georgia Brown I've ever heard and it was a cover in gypsy jazz style to add the cherry to the cake! He definitely has the 'Django sound'.

And +1 on Robert's comment!

---Edit---
I just watched that other video, and that was mental! Fair shout to this dude, he can really play.
