Biréli Lagrène's creative tuning technique // Gypsy jazz lesson //

This video is about special guitar technique that can be used creatively in many situations.
I have seen many guitarists using their tuning knobs as part of their performance. However the most mind-blowing example of this (in my opinion) is from jazz guitar virtuoso Biréli Lagrène.
I have been trying to learn the technique myself and decided to make this video to share the exercises that I have been messing around with.
