Eddie Lang - Perfect free for downloading

Heavy strings high action = volume.

Love this great music.

It's been left that way for a while, thanks.

Eddie Lang composed "Perfect" with Frank Signorelli. Some of Eddie Lang's other compositions included "April Kisses", "Wild Cat", "Goin' Places", "Doin' Things", "Stringin' the Blues", "Cheese and Crackers", "Guitar Blues" with Lonnie Johnson, and "Pickin' My Way" and Feelin' My Way" with Carl Kress. His 1927 recording "Singin' the Blues" with Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

Proudly from Italy: the true name of Eddie Lang was Salvatore Massaro :O)

Eddie Lang is playing the original arch-top F-Hole design, the Gibson L-5, designed under the auspices of Lloyd Loar, who oversaw a golden age of Gibson stringed instruments.  The "old guitars" weren't "painful to play" on as one commentator surmised.  Not so.  But Eddie Lang strung his instrument with heavy strings.  VERY HEAVY STRINGS.  Likely a wound B. 

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF HOAGY CARMICHAEL CONTRIBUTED TO ANY OF LANGS TUNES? LOVE TO KNOW. THANK YOU .

Eddie Lang is my favorite guitar player of all times. His single line bass notes and his style are truly unique. Magical....

i'd never heard of eddie lang until today... i met a guy who said he had a cousin named eddie lang who played jazz guitar back before the advent of the electric guitar... i looked up his name, and there he was. great.

starts a bit ragtime goes into a Debussy/Satie bag then we hear Lang play a bit of blues known and again then we hear "in a mist" you sure get your moneys worth!

What year is this 1927?

Funny how he and Django came up around the same time on separate continents and never crossed paths.. But Eddie did die at age 31in 1932 and Django didn't visit the States until 1934 I think.. There would have been some fireworks.

Salvatore Massaro was his real name. And he does have one very Italian face.

Django wasn't in the states until around 1946 or so when he played for a stint w/Duke Ellington

The GREAT Salvatore Massaro the PIONEER of Jazz Guita!

Yes 1946 , You're Right
