There's no such thing as a wrong note. I like the sound of that world! That lesson would be a great experience for so many of those kids.
The man went out while still at the top of his game. Though I can't help feeling that's not a great pay-off for passing at only 73.
Truly one of the guitar greats of all time.
Shame that so much jazz playing involves long stretches and use of the left hand pinkie. Off limits to me these days.
Thanks for posting these video links.

About Django, imagine what he could have play with 4 fingers!
This also demonstrate how important is chord voicing... Pay attention to his strumming...
Woe is me
It makes me think of the great Freddie Green "Master of Single Note Chord"!
You eventually like giving a look at
http://www.freddiegreen.org/,
full of valuable analysis and tabs of his work (so subtle filling of the "niche" in between bass and drums
) with Count Basie Big Band
