This is the last one for a while.
Minority by Gigi Gryce chord solo. 1968 Ventura arch top (Japanese). The frets are practically non existent on this thing and I've got flatwound .012s on it. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

 superb sound you are getting out of that guitar, it sounds huge.

Thanks all!
It is a huge sounding guitar. It's also 'huge' in size, though the neck is thin and relatively narrow. The next chord melody will probably be a Christmas song. Haven't decided which one yet - ? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Pick your favorite
I did an acoustic/celtic version on 'Joy the the world' as a lesson here at GMC  Maybe you've seen it before, but what the heck, here it is:https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Joy-To-The-World/ |

Should I recommend a traditional Romanian one? Here's my favorite - the vocals are simply haunting!

I had no idea that was a Romanian song.
We call it by it's general translation "Cradle of Jesus". It's very pretty, it's on the 'list'. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

One of my wife's best friends is Romanian. I may have even heard it at her place(?) -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Beautiful guitar and playing!
I think playing chords + melody on top is probably one of the smoothest sounding things we can play on the guitar. Playing "two" guitar parts at the same time always sounds impressive. Is the pickup switch position slightly weird? Usually it is on the upper side of the guitar body? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

It's a copy of an L5 which has the selector on the bottom. Gibson varied the position of the pkup selector switch a lot depending on the model. L5, ES5, Byrdland, Barney Kessel and super 400s have them on the bottom. ES 175 on the top. 335 - near the control plate. Johnny Smith - on the pick guard. They'd put them anywhere.

Place where its easy to reach yet you don't hit it while playing. I like when the switch is on top, somehow its easier for me to hit changes on it while playing. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Personally, I prefer it near the volume and tone controls. Where it is on a 335 https://www.google.com/search?q=es+335&...ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
