Yep he looks like he plays effortlessly through the changes. I've watched a bunch of his videos, especially when I was hunting for a decent archtop, I wound up buying an earlier version of this guitar (with original HB1 pickups)...

Here's my actual guitar, which changed hands a few times before it got to me...

Well check out his videos. He's a pretty damn good Jazz guitarist, the guy knows his way around a guitar neck!

Jazz guy.  His lessons are excellent. 

[rwinking]

I always learn a lot just from watching his fingers so effortlessly glide around the neck. HIs fingers have looked a little arthritic for years and yet he is so smooth. What I usually learn from watching him is that my technique has a long way to go......

PSA: Rich Severson has a great deal going on right now.  You pay $200 for yearly subscription to his entire library of songs and lessons and now he is including with that subscription, access to his Wednesday YouTube streams (meaning you sit in on the stream via Zoom and interact with him and the YT audience) plus he now has a Thursday Zoom session for subscribers only where he's available for questions. It's really a good deal. He's been at this a long time so some of the video lessons my be a little lesser quality from a visual or audio standpoint but the content is outstanding.  No, I'm not getting paid to say this I'm just letting you know of something that I think is a really good deal.
