The Glory Of Love

This was written by Billy Hill in the 1930s and recorded by Benny Goodman (in 1936) and many others. This version is very much in the style of Big Bill Broonzy, and played in C.

This video is played on "No. 18" - a guitar made 2 years ago by Ian Chisholm - and replaces a version I recorded over a year ago. The tab on my website has also been updated.

Will, you're a great guitarrist, i've been watching ur videos for a while and still not bored lol. question: Why does it sound much like super mario theme in so many parts of the song?

[HenfieldWill]

@ahcwarcry I've never heard the Super Mario theme... :-)

@LuisasChannel Ah - that's 'cos I'm a nice old geezer... :-)

Great job as usual Will! The guitar sounds great, it looks as though the sound hole is larger than standard.

[HenfieldWill]

@AlPrindle Do you know, I'd never thought about it, but you're right! The internal diameter of my Martin's sound hole is 100mm. On this one, it's 110mm. It also looks wider because, in between the sound hole edge and the inlay ring, is a circle of dark hardwood. Ian puts this in his guitars to protect the edge of the soundhole. :-)

Love it. I have recordings by Big Bill Broonzy and Ralph McTell. This ab fab!
