In this video I get to fulfil a life long dream and play the iconic Martin D45 Standard Acoustic Guitar. Regarded by many to be the greatest of all acoustic guitars. I go into a little about the history of the instrument, a description of the D45, and a little about my history with this instrument. I perform various styles to show the tone and playability of this guitar in my studio.

I thank my dear friend Bob Mortimore for the use of this guitar prior to it's sale. If you are interested in purchasing this very guitar, please feel free to PM me.

I have used a stereo pair of Schoeps CMC 6U's to record the guitar going into an RME Fireface 802. Some very limited EQ and Hall reverb by Fabfilter.

Music played -
David Qualey's beautiful arrangement of Bach's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"
A Blues improvisation,
some other improvisations and
George Sheering's "Lullaby of Birdland" are. John H Duarte.
