Gibson ES-150 1938 - Charlie Christian - My Ideal

[Fred Archtop]

Dear Jazzers,

Here is a new video out with my beloved ES-150 from 1938 played through a Polytone minibrute.

The tune played is My Ideal, just because this is the guitar I prefer. Each note has such consistency to my ears and each chord sounds like a brass section. Hope you'll like the sound of this babe, or should I say Grand Ma since she is 84 years old now...

Best and take care.

always liked that tune Fred, but never heard it played as a bossa
nice work!

Very very nice tone and it is inspiring me to learn the piece. I must visit your Youtube channel.

Fred I was never big on the tune itself but let me tell you that YOU play the snot out of the guitar! No diarrhea, choice notes and great sound.

Every note like a warm bell - gorgeous, and well-played.

+1!

I miss my ‘35 L7. It’s in the shop for a refret. Can’t wait to get her back! Watching this vid makes up for it.

Very nice, this has encouraged me to get out my L50-CC and play it through my Gibson EH-125 amp with it's new speaker.
