[@user-in4ys6np2v]

Thanks for posting these videos. I have six issues of Acoustic Guitar magazine featuring your chord-melody lessons. Being able to watch and hear you play them here helps big time!

My first intro to jazz. The song is familiar to my ears as if I heard it in some movie. Can't wait to try it out!

Is that an old Gibson, sounds so sweet?

[@titobattaglia7932]

Nope, a wonderful Epiphone Deluxe from 1931 to 1933 I'd say from the looks. Epi's competitor to the L-5 and one of the most significant archtops in history (along with the L-5, the Super 400 and the Emperor). This precise version is current dream guitar!

[@GregRubyMusic]

It's a 32 Epiphone Masterbilt Deluxe.

[@titobattaglia7932]

… and if I may add, IMHO the most wonderful acoustic archtop ever made, along with the 17" iteration of the Deluxe 36-50. Greg's videos are a beautiful sampler of its sounds, but hear it also in the hands of Dick McDonough (e.g. Ukulele Ike's versions of "I wanna call you sweet mama" or "It's only a paper moon")
