Coltrane Giant Steps and Gibson L5 Archtop Guitar

Solo guitar improvisation over "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane in two non-standard keys, D then transition to G. Video, sound, and playing are little rough around the edges...but so am I :)

Guitar is a Gibson L5 played through Boss RV3 reverb and ZT Lunchbox. Sound was recorded simply, just using a single Rode SVM camera mounted mic. ZT Lunchbox amp is out of view and sitting slightly behind and underneath the camera.

Guitar is tuned in fourths, eadgcf.

Hi. Nice little clip. Is this the Acoustic Lunchbox or the regular "electric" one? It really sounds nice...

@xebio6 Thank you.  The amp is the original, smallest Lunchbox.
