Embraceable You

This is a Barry Galbraith arrangement. I built the guitar from blocks of wood in my spare time using Robert Benedettos Book and videos, it took over 5 years to complete.

Very nice as ever Steve. One of my favourites. Was also the only song of the Gershwins that their father liked, because of the line, 'Come to Pappa Come to Pappa do.' I bet you already knew that!

I have the Benedetto book too. I wanted to make one for myself, but I never get a round tuit! Nice one Steve. Well played and well made.

@Jazzwayze Thank you John. I didn't know that so thanks for that bit of information also. Thanks for the visit.

Very woody and vintage sounding. I guess Bob B. has no worries about letting secrets out. Did you do the arrangement? Funny how many critics posting a video can attract. I've heard from Tommy E. that good players don't usually criticize but support what others do. But what does he know?

@51bbob Thanks so much for your insight it is appreciated. The arrangement is from a Barry Galbraith book from Mel Bay.

Thanks again,

Steve

your guitar is beautiful. You did a great job. A friend of mine, Rod Guenther, who passed away in Dec. 2009, built my guitar via the Bob Benedetto book. My guitar was the 3rd of 15 that he built. Also, I enjoy your playing very much.

@geoffrowell Thanks for your comment, it is appreciated.

Quite right, a pick is the original way of the great jazz players and to list all those who play this way would take a lifetime. Keep it up, well done.

@seth3556r No problem.
