The phrase around 2:30 sounded especially Barney-esque with the upstrokes. Glad to see this historic instrument wind up in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.
I met Barney in 1968 at his shop in LA. He was a prince of a guy. We went out for lunch, and he was interested in me as a player. I played his arrangement of 'Our Love Is Here to Stay,' and he loved that. Barney was a huge influence as a musician and as a role model.
This instrument made an appearance on Perry Mason 1961 the Jazz Episode Barney was very young and appears several times with the old Gibson complete with electric tape covering Gibson logo....
I saw Barney play it out in Santa Barbara sometime in the 90's. It was a good show with Stephane Grappelli. And yes, I regret every ebony fretboard I ever let go! Nice playing Bruce...
There’s truly nothing like hearing great guitar life stories. Or like in this case, the latest update as one continues! Thanks for sharing it!😊 BTW, great FB Summit in Chicago. Loved everything about it and spending quality time with my twin brother. 👍
So fun! It's hard not to hear Barney's Spirit living on as you play that. The tone is so unmistakable it's ridiculous. I was afraid Barney would be forgotten when he passed away, and just the world of jazz guitar seems to have gotten a little smaller, but for those with listening ears it's great to hear somebody playing all the way alive music that reminds us why we love this music, and make us eager to hear where it goes next 😊
He is the right person to own and play this guitar.

Wow, what a privilege, that machine has so much history, glad that you are adding to it Bruce. Nice work, cheers N&J🎸
This guy is a Gem. What a player OMG. No one better to have that axe.
Holy crap, I thought he just had a really accurate custom shop recreation of Barney’s guitar. That’s Barney’s ACTUAL guitar. Wow. 😦

Barney Kessel and the great Guitars influenced a whole lot of Rock guitarists as well as Jazz supremos.
Straordinario.
Great video! Thanks.
Beautiful
Nice thanks! What kind of pickup?
It's in the right hands, all right.
Legend
It couldn't be in better hands.
I wonder what Bruce has planned for the guitar when he no longer needs it. Does it keep on chugging or does it get hung up??
I hope he passes it on to another great player we get to watch and enjoy
Maybe Julian Lage would be cool
I'll take it

Dude, that’s EXACTLY who should inherit it.
@@YogsenForfoth He’d give it the respect it deserves and I’m sure lots of videos we could watch him playing it
