On some pretty nice guitars. What nice chord-melody playing (at least that's what I think it is); lead stuff too. I know of him from Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five, which popped up on my Youtube Music one day. And he's a (relatively) young guy, too.
"Over on Instagram (@campusfive) I'm doing a new project: the #chorusadayproject: Each week, I pick a tune, and each weekday, I’ll post a chorus on that tune. It’s sort of a challenge to myself to blow over the same tune over and over again, each time looking for some new way to approach it. Sometimes single notes, sometimes chord-melody, sometimes a combination. I figured I’d also change guitars here and there to inspire some of those different approaches.
Then every weekend, I'll stitch them all together and post them here. So, here's 5 choruses from this week on "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea"."

I’ve been watching Stouts videos for years. I just assumed everyone here with an interest was already watching.

Stout's explanatory videos and posts about playing styles and guitars are also interesting and great fun. His first-rate playing is rooted in an understanding of the history of the music and the players--Allan Reuss is his particular hero.
I am particularly impressed by how physically easy Stout makes playing those old archtops look. As much as I love the sound of my '46 Broadway, I can't imagine navigating the lead lines like Stout's on it. Maybe I need to have its setup examined.

O, that he were here to write me down an ass! But remember that I am an ass, though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass. . . . O, that I had been writ down an ass!
