Years ago I had a 1956 Gibson ES 125, which this guitar is clearly based on. It played like a dream. Then for a while I switched from Jazz to Rockabilly, selling the ES 125 to get a 1961 Gretsch Double Anniversary (which I still have). But I always missed that ES 125 and regretted selling it. Having gotten into Jazz again recently, I decided to get one of these, as the average price of 3500 pounds for an ES 125 is now beyond my price range. Best decision I made. This guitar is like the return of an old friend. It does exactly what that old 125 did back then, and looks as cool. My 'test' piece for this guitar in the shop was the Barney Kessel intro to 'Cry Me A River'. The sound and tone was all there! I no longer mourn the sale of my old ES 125, and cannot recommend this guitar enough. Great playing, BTW!
Thanks very much! I don’t have a backing track. That was me comping and playing bass. It is loosely based on a version of this tune by Sylvain Luc. Check him out on RUclips. He just recently passed away. He was amazing!
Awesome playing! I've been hearing this song several times recently - which is great since it's lovely. I like neosoul guitarist Toshiki Soejima version too. Also, I just got a similar Godin guitar :)

Smooth as always, Sir! Also, nice Godin - is it new?
Hi Rene! Thank you buddy. It's new to me. I traded my Tele for it. I'm really liking it.
Niiicee:)
Great job Rich. Is that a 5th Avenue you are playing?
@@philjunnila - hi Phil. Yes it is.
Awesome playing! I've been hearing this song several times recently - which is great since it's lovely. I like neosoul guitarist Toshiki Soejima version too. Also, I just got a similar Godin guitar :)
Thanks very much. Yes, it’s a wonderful song and fun to play.
Really nice! Hello from Brasil!!! How did you make the bass line?
Thank you so much. Hello from Arizona, USA! I used GarageBand to record the bass and the comping part.
How did you get this sound ? Is this a acoustic or electric? Cause it looks like an acoustic but sounds like an electric
@@dreamergirlbaby - it is a hollow body guitar but it has a P90 pickup.
very nice attack
Thanks so very much for the kind words.
No, sir, you are!
イエー😂
Awesome. Mac Millers cover is beautiful
Wow💗💗💗🤍💗💗💗
Thanks for listening!
Really cool, sir.
Glad you think so!
I see myself. Thanks for the update.
Who’s playing the bass?
That’s me as well.
Saw the title and automatically thought of Mac Miller
Sorry- who’s Mac Miller?
I also play this song but not as good as you. 😊
