What's Going On as Performed on My Aria Model A542

This video's audio is from my album titled “Here’s To Life”. I hope players out there will use this video as a reference to see and hear what a vintage Aria nylon string looks and sounds like! This is Marvin Gaye’s classic “What’s Going On. I’ve performed it faster than the original, as it seems the song’s message has become more urgent with the passing time. I played a fantastic Aria guitar, bought from Goodwill in March 2025. It’s a Flamenco guitar, made in Japan, Model A542F. It has a low serial number placing it in the late 1960s to early 1970s. It was made or supervised by the renowned luthier Ryoji Matsuoka. Ryoji Matsuoka produced high-end classical and flamenco guitars for Aria during this "Golden Era" of Japanese guitar building. The top is solid spruce, which they say improves with age. Back & sides are cypress or maple, the neck mahogany or cedar. The fretboard is rosewood, and the scale length is standard full size. It recorded very nicely; you just can’t go wrong with a 1960s-1970s Japanese made nylon string! See my channel for more guitar specific videos, coming soon. The full album (Here's to Life, Michael Nickolas) is on the usual streaming services.
