I recorded this primarily because I hadn’t yet recorded my new guitar. After viewing it, I decided to post it.
I think I included an extra verse and chorus. Oh well.

Nice playing Greg!
Your new guitar sounds real sweet man. Congratulations!
What guitar is that?
It looks real cool.
I like them black tuning keys. Looks like the tuning pegs are gold too. Very nice.
I like the way it looks.
Better yet, it sounds great!
Win, win.
Thanks for sharing.
Sweet playing @GDPiper169
great control and subtleties.
Certainly worth posting indeed!
Have fun with that new guitar
Thanks. It’s a Yairi FYM70. It’s an OM size sitka/rosewood. Yairi are distributed by Alverez, but are hand made in Japan. It is the finest guitar I’ve ever held in my hands, let alone owned. I wish my video camera could duplicate how good it sounds in person.

Thank you!
Wow!
That’s a cool guitar.
Has all the appointments for sure. No wonder it sounds so good.
You should be a proud owner of that beautiful instrument.
fwiw.
My 1st guitar is just a regular Alverez. A 12 string.
It appears it will be with me till I’m dead. Got it in '76 and it’s still plays just fine. I’ve no intentions of getting rid of it.
Your guitar looks to be top of the line Alverez. Perhaps a more than a life time guitar? Very nice.
What a inspirational guitar you acquired.

That is so full of emotion! Bravo!
Listening while I type exceptional playing, really like it, thank you for sharing and hopefully many more to come.

I’ve been playing the Alvarez AF60 model for two years and love it. It is the Yairi’s less expensive cousin, sitka spruce and mahogany and also OM size. It doesn’t sound near as sweet as yours Greg, but that’s mostly due to the player, not the instrument. I’ll have to visit a music shop to try a Yairi.

That Yairi is amazing. That Rosewood / Sitka really gives a huge sound that I did not expect. And of course, fantastic picking as well. Thanks for sharing!
This world is so wired it’s frightening. I replied to your post about your new Yairi FYM70, and within minutes a Sweetwater ad offering to sell me that exact same guitar popped up in my email account. What ever happened to privacy? Maybe if I think really hard about a Denver omelette an UberEats driver will show up at my door with one…
You’d have to get rid of your phone, computer and move to the middle of the Amazon to stop them! 
Thank you. While not cheap, I think this guitar may be the best value of any I’ve ever purchased.
Congrats on your new guitar, Greg
Looks and sounds gorgeous 
Not to mention the smooth playing…
The only Everybody knows song I’m familiar with is Leonard Cohen, but doesn’t really sound like it to me. Who’s it by? 
I’m pretty sure Amazon would find me in the Amazon. Didn’t I hear that Bezos had bought that jungle?
Ryan Adams 2007. The studio version is electric, but there are several solo acoustic versions on YouTube. He plays it differently every time, which is good for me!
