Mint Julep--Jelly Roll Morton on solo guitar

This is my arrangement of "Mint Julep" by the New Orleans pianist/composer/bandleader Jelly Roll Morton. It was originally recorded by Morton and his Red Hot Peppers in late 1929. The guitar I'm playing was built just a few months later. It's a 1930 Martin OM-18 with a small "teardrop" pickguard, banjo tuners, bar frets, and ebony neck rod.

The arrangement is in standard tuning in the key of G.

Mister, you play the guitar really really good. Its too bad that your poor and cant afford a new guitar. My cousin is only 10 and he got an electric guitar he got form Guitar Center. You should maybe save up or get a new job!
