Django Reinhardt - Guitar Great

This guy is easily one of the best guitarists of all time. His ring and pinky fingers were both paralyzed in a fire. His talent with two fingers surpasses the abilities of many modern Four finger guitarists. Good stuff-- if you like this kinda music, that is.

Django`s left ring and pinky fingers were partially paralyzed after he was badly burned in a fire when he was 18 years old. The doctors told him that he`d never play again and were also planning on amputating one of his legs that was also badly burned in a fire. He refused the surgery and was able to walk again within a year of the accident.
