        I recorded this yesterday practicing on my new parlor Penguin. Just used my iPhone.
        Thanks,
        Larry

          A lesson designed for a parlor guitar and you played it with your usual flair.
          I sold off my gretch parlor guitar, wish at times i hadnt done cos the short scale was a comfy play, love the look of their penguin guitars, possibly when gas returns it will be on my list.

              this very speedy tempo and you do it well
              congratulation.
              i’ve seen 6 guitars on the back saying “why not me ?…”

              Where does the white go when snow melts?

                Wow Larry! First time I’ve seen and heard one of these guitars. Beautiful guitar and beautifully played!

                  Larry,
                  That’s a great lesson and as fast as you played it, Brian has this crazy manic tempo. I remember trying to match it once and didn’t quite get there.

                    Well played Larry. Went back and checked out this lesson. Crazy fast tempo and no sound splice. You are brave to attempt this one. Great parlor guitar.

                          Nice playing Larry! I noticed you are hybrid picking on this one at times. That is something I’m trying to do more often. Nice looking/sounding Gretch parlor too. Congrats!

                            Nice playing a Larry, it brought back memories for me, I played it for my first Challenge here at AM. You certainly did a tidy job on that tidy guitar.

                                Hi, Larry! Glad to see you playing again! Great lesson, very familiar to me. Nice guitar and beautiful sound, even through the I-phone.
