Our good friend John Pizzarelli is sheltering in the Deluxe Cabin, upstate, sharing the occasional solo video on Facebook and Instagram and he’s finally found the perfect duet partner: John Pizzarelli! John (on the 7-string John Higgins nylon string) accompanies John (on the 7-string Bill Moll archtop) for this ripping version of the Ray Noble classic, “Cherokee,” (with a cameo from the propane delivery guy). He’s also shared the backing video (below, in B flat, “the people’s key”), for folks who are up to taking the #CherokeeChallenge — and don’t forget to add #FJFest!

#FJFest is the Fretboard Journal’s way of keeping our community connected during these difficult times: Expect to see never-before-seen shop tours from guitarmakers, unique music performances and a ton of beautiful instruments on a daily basis here and on the FJ‘s social media channels.
