[@Damianblf]

Thank you Louis. Glad you're enjoying the lessons. I know it's a little early, but Happy Birthday. :)

Its a gorgeous song Damien. Lovely chords ! Many thanks for sharing.

[@brunosvlog24k]

Great chords, great singing! This song makes me happy. 😁

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much :)

[@dannycapra]

After literal decades of pentatonic dad rock, I think I just learned my first jazz song., man I wish I discovered your youtube a lot earlier. Thank you!

[@lisahart1725]

I really love this version, thank you so much! Looking forward to more lessons just found you today

[@Damianblf]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Cheers :)

[@jonathanengwall2777]

The answer to "why do I have to do it that way?" is "So you can play It's Only A Paper Moon." This video is truly great, I like it.

[@MrMichaelkaas]

really great! you should do more lessons like this one with jazz standards! then put them together in a group and sell them, very helpful!

[@alward5678]

All the licks I’ve learned from you have really helped me. God bless yes. Wonderful musician

[@portsideguitar1981]

This is great Damian. Such a beautiful old tune. Some nice inversions to work with here.

[@jdstalenne9707]

Damian, thanks for keeping this music alive. I bought your dvd’s while back. Have your skull sticker on my laptop. Just brings me lots of happiness always watching your videos.

[@Damianblf]

Thank you very much for all the support and for the kind words. I really appreciate it. :) Keep on rockin' DAMIAN

[@markosullivan4095]

Damien, the best Jazz teacher n the net!!! Muchas gracias.

[@XLBiker13]

Never get tired of these lessons Damian. Another great one. These are so much fun to play. Please keep 'em coming. THANK YOU!

[@Damianblf]

Thank you XLBiker13. Thanks so much for checking out the lesson. Glad you're diggin' it. Cheers buddy DAMIAN :)

[@seppi65]

I didn't realize how important chord inversions are, especially in swing guitar, until your lessons Damian. The G#9th to Gmaj7th ending is really nice. After 20+ yrs of playing, I'm learning all these new chord shapes, persistence! - Joe in CT

[@Damianblf]

Hi Joe Glad you're enjoying the lessons. Thanks so much for checking them out. Keep on rockin' DAMIAN :)

[@josephgiustiniani2834]

@@Damianblf …..me too. Been a player for years, but you show how to play the stuff that lots of us want to play.. THANKS

[@MarkRhodesSongs]

Love that tune. First heard the Nat Cole Trio do it. (Loved that group.) It's a good one to sing. I like a lot of Harold Arlen tunes and this is one of the better known ones but there are many others: Stormy Weather, I Got A Right To Sing The Blues, Get Happy, One For My Baby and One More For The Road, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea...

[@Damianblf]

Glad you dug the lesson. Cheers :)

[@GreggJohns]

Great version. Thanks for creating and posting this. It would be nice to have a pdf of the chord changes, however. It's a little difficult to learn the song by watching the video and pausing now and then to find the chord on the guitar neck.

[@sambagenie]

That's a nice guitar Damian, its in good hands now. Thanks for all your brill lessons.

[@silverslivver]

you are totally awesome...I'm diggin' the rockin' good tunes and your og hipster style

[@Damianblf]

Glad you're enjoying the lessons. Thank you for watching. :)

[@captainamericaxxx3874]

Cliff Edwards song.(Yeah the Jimmy the Cricket guy). Never heard of the other versions. World relearned of its existance when the Tatum Oneil film came out. Good job with the cords.

[@soonriccs]

¡Awesome Damian! Would you make Sweet Lorraine lesson I would thank you it a lot

[@maridell]

I'd love it if you would publish the chords/Tab. Great arrangement.

[@v.8510]

Thank you Damian for your good Tutorials. Grazie 😎✌🏼️

[@MarkMcCluney]

Damo, I've been watching some of your back catalogue and really enjoying it, great fun. Could you dismantle Miles and Miles of Texas for some day? Til then God's blessings and greetings from Northern Ireland mate!

[@nickharris9761]

Superb

[@theflamingshakers]

Eres el rey

[@newmexicochuck]

Great work. Would be so helpful if there was a printable chord chart. Thank you!

[@leaturk11]

top job

[@Damianblf]

Thanks William DAMIAN :)

[@christinewoodman297]

The chord charts show "X"s, which usually means "do not play that string". In this case, does that mean "open string"? Thank you!

[@Damianblf]

Hi Christine. The X on the chord diagrams in the video means that you “mute” or don't play that particular string. Thank you for watching the lesson.

[@LuisNavarro-ui9jq]

Que guitarra usas? Suena genial

[@themusiccovenant]

I have been a big fan sir. I am interested in a fully acoustic archtop guitar like yours. Can you advise where can I get a solid guitar like yours in a budget?

[@boonekamp1]

Please play "Americano" in Brian Setzer style...

[@BossPeddler]

Great music why don’t you do a course on this type of music. I am sure many people including myself would gladly buy it . Here’s hoping Ben

[@Damianblf]

Hi Ben Thanks for checking out the lesson. I'll definitely be doing a course on Jazz guitar & Western Swing guitar in the near future. :) Cheers DAMIAN

[@BossPeddler]

Damian Bacci Thanks Ben

[@johnriperti3127]

oh yeah I would definitively buy it

[@joemizz11]

Damian Bacci I’m in too. Love the guitar arrangements for these old standards.

[@marcswanson9507]

That sounds great, Damian! I've been enjoying your recent Western Swing vids and the examples that you've provided have been quick and easy to learn.This is the first time I've ever tried playing anything even the slightest bit jazz-like, so it's been great for expanding the repertoire if for nothing else than to turn a few heads at the local Guitar Center.

[@rodri1666]

👏👏👏👏

[@charlesmorse9851]

Fantastic lesson, thank you ... Just a small note (Muslin Tree) = Fabric. (Muslim Tree) = A spot where Allah hung out. 🙂

[@LarryStallings-dk4rr]

is there tab for this song?

[@FinnBjerke]

Chords here (most of em coorect the G#dim should be E7) tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/nat_king_cole/its_only_a_paper_moon_chords_1206994

[@garripastor4]

That are nylon strings I am right? If it iswere i can find a guitar like that

[@Damianblf]

Hi Garry I have this guitar strung with a set of Martin Silk & Steel Acoustic Strings. :)

[@markmyers7560]

Nice job. BTW, it's a muslin tree, not a Muslim tree.
