Two fingers, my friends.

I may very well have blogged this video before somewhere else, but WFMU's got a great video of gypsy jazz guitar legend Django Rheinhart. That guy played better with only two fingers on his left hand than most guys--yours truly included!--can with five. Killer.

Some more guitar video goodness:


Frank Zappa doing the Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post"--not really into the rhythm section sound on this, but Frank's solo is devastating


Joe Maphis, country picker extraordinaire, puts his double-neck Mosrite through its paces on what looks like the Barbara Mandrell Show


Surf guitar legend Dick Dale, circa his '90s comeback, doing "Nitro"
