"How High The Moon" - on acoustic guitar

RIP Les Paul (1915-2009).
Les Paul and Mary Ford's version of the song was a #1 hit for 9 weeks in 1951.
* Music by Morgan Lewis
* Lyrics by Nancy Hamilton
* Guitar: Steve Cloutier -

This song was achieved by looping. "Looping" is recording yourself on-the-fly and playing along with that. You can also add more layers whenever you wish.

Here's a link to a page of some chord diagrams, my guitars, and my looping equipment:

Steve, thank you for posting this. You are incredible! I have been listening to this video all day! Superb performance. Bravo! What guitar are you using?

[stebunn]

Thanks much!

To answer your question, I built guitars off and on for 20 years. This one is my 40th out of 55.

When you went to swing time on this song, did you record two versions of your guitar playing or three?

[stebunn]

Good question. I had to count. As the song is ending, I'm playing on top of 4 looping layers. The small inset videos show all the layers except for the first rhythm guitar layer.
