His music suffered as he became increasingly moody and unreliable. Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, both of whom lost fingers in accidents, were inspired by Reinhardt's example of becoming an accomplished guitar player despite his injuries.

Django Reinhardt (23 January 1910 - 16 May 1953) was a pioneering virtuoso Belgian jazz guitarist and composer. Doctors believed that he would never play guitar again. Django's seemingly never-ending bag of licks, tricks and colors always keep the song interesting, and his intensity level is rarely met by any guitarist. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital in Fontainebleau. At 1:13, Django uses enclosures, or "upper/lower neighbors," to outline the chord tones in his arpeggio.

In 1951, he retired to Samois sur Seine, France, near Fontainebleau. Although Django was twenty years older than the rest of the band, he was completely in command of the modern style. Playing completely by ear (he could neither read nor write music), he roamed freely across the full range of the fretboard giving full flight to his musical imagination and could play with ease in any key.
