Isto - Ain't Misbehavin' (Razaf/Waller/Brooks)

[@momentmal9443]

Man, oh man, if I was a young girl I'd be swooning, right now! I was impressed with your picking, and then you began to SING! I couldn't help but believe that you loved me... oh, well...

[@dejaliloquy]

Same

[@essuieglace1526]

Absolutely insane performance, in tune, in rythm. I'll remember ur name Isto

[@randysrhythm]

There's music, and then there's MUSIC. This music needs to come back and folks like you help that process (and some other crap needs to crawl in a hole). This was an era when music said something kind. Kindness used to be the standard, not the odd one out. Chris, great job brother man!

[@xlr20ice]

When I first started listening to this, I was still in college and I particular remember living in an apartment walking to the train to go to a part-time summer job. In the afternoons, coming back, I would sit down at my favorite pizza shop, get a slice, plug in the headphones and listen to Isto. This song brings me back to those moments. Thank you.

[@chance1986]

Absolutely wonderful. The guitar playing, the vocals, the Fats impersonation. Everything.

[@EVPpsycho]

I think Fats would have loved this performance if he could have seen it. Some of the quirky little expressions like the one at 1:20 really remind me of his personality and it breathes a whole extra layer of joy into your performance. Love it :)

[@smokeyallanritter3211]

Absolutely wonderful! They just don't write good old songs like they used to do anymore!!!

[@jerryoltremari317]

Geez, every time I think I know my favorite video of yours, I see another one like this! Either this or Blue Skies!

[@itopus1]

I can't say what I love most, your playing or your singing, both equally brilliant and you make it look so easy.

[@eustaciogriego1912]

Excellently done thank you.

[@FinnBjerke]

Great singing as always - nice guitar groove too.

[@richardbenjamin775]

Isto, I commented earlier about how wonderful this rendition is. I just played it for my wife and she asked me to tell you she is swooning! Again, just wonderful and you play much of the music I want to play on my Loar archtop too. Thank you so much

[@linderlog2388]

I always look forward to your videos. There's such a relaxing and peaceful tone to them. Thank you

[@billhenderson5910]

Made me smile. Thank you!!

[@jean-michelantolin5757]

jolie voix, joli jeux finger picking. merci

[@saadmazher6267]

I keep coming back to your Fats Waller covers - thanks for your superb talent!

[@dirkjohnson1113]

Very nice, dude. As a fellow teacher, I love these jazz arrangements when they are made accessible to intermediate level players.

[@lamarrichardson4254]

Huge fan. Very talented and inspirational. Really like your voice. Really well done. I look forward to seeing more videos. Love to hear traditional jazz swing on a dobro sometime!

[@BlueNightProductions]

Just the tune treatment I’ve been looking for. Thanks Man! Steven

[@Anniegolovchenko]

And I love when you go away!!!😂😂👏👏

[@Anniegolovchenko]

I adore you!! You are a cute person,and your voice is sweet...sweet!!!💥⚘🇺🇾 Uruguay...south america.🍃❤

[@TomasMichaud]

[@mikecarton6994]

ahahhhah bro, you take it to a whole nother level when you start singing :)

[@areteu1]

Great song, great interpretation, great video. Thanks for sharing it with us! :-)

[@spotoboy]

The bridge between 2:09 and 2:43 ! oh my...wowza!

[@dustinherbert1633]

A friend started me one this one. You're version is really helping get the details. I just need to get that alternative C>E7>F>Fm phrasing up the neck and I have it. Thanks jungle cat!

[@mustang18530]

Awesome Would love to hear you play some blues. Like Mississippi John Hurt or Charley Patton

[@WriteFireForFire]

You know you were the first thing I ever saw on KZbin. In a sea of chaos you are a delightful constant.

[@Anniegolovchenko]

I love you when you run away!!😂😂❤🔥

[@Terminally_Chill]

Nothing makes me tranquil and happy quite like your videos do, thank you for the blessings you share.

[@Coughalot]

You've always got just the cover i want to see

[@ChristienGagnier]

a wonderful interpretation....great vocal range too

[@WorldPeace-pi1uq]

Nice! But you look so sad man... OK, I got a smile peekin' out occassionally. This song is perfect for scat and whistling - that's how I do it. Really cool falsetto at the end! I'm hooked.

[@rajb5595]

So much originality

[@bobthejober]

Great playing and I love the eccentric performance!

[@DieParaquats1971]

Legend

[@lalamusicgirl1]

Lovely:)

[@SpringfieldGuy]

I love and perform this song, too ... but not nearly as well as you. Outstanding job! In fact, our tastes in music are very similar.

[@billmcalpine]

Great job on an iconic Fats Waller tune, thank you.

[@TheGRAYSvarietySHOW]

Well done

[@clappedoutmotor]

So good man

[@richardbenjamin775]

This is absolutely stellar stuff, Thank you!

[@zark6803]

Man from my personal experience Loar guitars are ideal for fingerpicking sort of ragtime style contrary to the popular belief! Extraordinary cover as usual!!!

[@neilsailing]

Thanks for that Chris...Many thumbs up Neil in Falmouth England.......really evocative for me.

[@BillBraskyy]

That was freaking beautiful 🥲

[@carolinerichards3565]

🌟 LOVE This 🎼ong 😃

[@colinhorsfall1678]

i would love to learn how to strum like this. is there someone online that can help please.

[@FactbasedReality0421]

Itso rules-thanks!!

[@eMIuaN98]

Amazing cover!!!

[@ThinkingCap_]

So glad I found this damn channel. I've been wanting to learn this style of guitar for a long time, and the way you play + camera angle couldn't be better. Subbed man, you deserve more exposure.

[@JadeSun7]

Beautiful vocals! A wonderful surprise. (totally not jealous at all... >.>) I'd love to hear you play this on a steel string, or maybe get a recording where the guitar was a little cleaner/clearer, 'cause your arrangement is awesome.

[@maxwelltabarrok4338]

can you play Rocky Raccon by The Beatles, It really fits in with your style

[@Petrolianzoolbar]

You should have a listen to "Charlie Parr - Rocky Raccoon Feat Nicholas Mrozinski"! :)

[@spotoboy]

He does a cool take on "For the Benefit of Mr.Kite" on this(his youtube) channel.

[@agathapoirot5373]

Absolutely Amazing! Is there a CD of your music? I would love to buy it and give it to friends as a gift.

[@gospodine]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pierre-julienandrieux2783]

you're great man !

[@DavidGarcia-pi9wn]

Hey man do you give zoom lessons I’ve been wanting to find a good teacher who can teach swing guitar and these old timey things

[@lumberjackisto]

Yes, I do! You can email me about lessons at [e-mail]

[@tronnyy]

can you play amy by green day?

[@jrbr549]

Do you mostly play these standards in C? They're beautiful, I'm just curious.

[@shawnwerner9467]

You've got an uncanny voice for jazz. Like a modern Cole Porter

[@lwlakksjd]

morbidly unappreciated fellow

[@willh6055]

Could you please share tabs to some of your pieces? Your songs look very fun to try to play

[@spotoboy]

Dude picks them up by ear and plays them. There are no TABs or notation. He did some excellent transcribing for some songs he taught in classes I've taken with him. I'm quite sure you could hire him to transcribe to TAB anything you wanted.You can find scores for many songs by adding 'pdf 'at the end of the title of the song you search. But if you can't find it, Isto can do it.

[@khnagul]

lmao dude come on

[@lumberjackisto]

Thanks for your kind words, Kenny! You're one of my favorite people. Hope you're doing well! Other folks, if you're interested in lessons or transcriptions of what play in some of these videos, please email me at [e-mail]. Also, I've been posting video lessons on my patreon account (patreon.com/istomusic), and also teach group lessons at Brooklyn's Jalopy Theatre (jalopytheatre.org).

[@bbldga427]

What’s the model of that Loar?

[@bbldga427]

Nevermind... i read the description...moron i am

[@NeilRobertTurner]

Reminded me of Leon Redbone how about Champagne Charlie :) or Diddy wah diddy.

[@waffleMccoy]

You didn't say " for you, and you and you " while looking at the camera like fats waller

[@tonyhemingway7980]

All you need is a megaphone and you could have the perfect 30s sound.

[@iinejii]

You're a fuckin beast man!

[@catkinsiren]

my cats particularly liked this one.

[@tonyhemingway7980]
