It should be excellent. For anyone that hasn't heard of Bireli here's a short clip of him playing. Check out how relaxed he is! And when your finished, check out how relaxed the bass player is! Those gypsy's know where it's at...

Also, there's an MP3 of him when he was twelve here...

...and that reminds me, there's a short video of him playing when he was a little 'un, and some videos of Django, over here...

Better update the Django thread...

P.S. I found that "RIFF CARNAGE' review over at Amazon to quite funny - "Watch THE GREAT Bireli Lagrene ripp huge chunks of riff flesh from the surface of your brains!"

Bireli is one of my favorite guitarists, I have that dvd and it blows my mind how good he is everytime I watch it. He knows about every technique imaginable.

Check out Front Page (=Biréli Lagrène, Dominique DiPiazza & Dennis Chambers) too! They made a great cd and they were really awesome live.
