@@Jon-G heyyo! Minnesota nice!

@caballero75RS hey thanks.. yeah honestly it's probably more difficult to play some of this stuff on electric or archtop though you can get some nice contrasts.. geuss i heard abou garoto from hearing "lamentos no morro" and then from studying the wonderful paulo Bellinati transcriptions/recordings..

Thank you very much!

Thank you.. it is a game changer plus sustain pedal.. it looks like a piano pedal.. good idea

Thanks! yes I have an album of orginal compositions available on bandcamp: adamrea.bandcamp.com/album/dance-machine

Yeah man! Good to hear from you and really appreciate the suggestion and reminder. I feel like standards take a while to learn well since there are usually so many different versions of one song and they tend to either get watered down or just slightly change over the years. I still play alot of them at Jam sessions every week and been meaning to record way more solo guitar versions for the Lords of You Tube. Wanted to let you know I have a record up on Bandcamp now also: adamrea.bandcamp.com/album/dance-machine The band is good and it took a long time to mix so the levels are totally profesh. There is probably too much explaining of the actual songs on the page, so I would recommend just listening for yourself. Good to know you are in Minnesota. If you ever find yourself in Oregon, you've probably made some questionable life choices, and let me know anyway!

Yeah I've heard all kinds of crazy versions of this song. There's one from the 40s where it's like a choir and there's singing one quarter note after another for the "Sometimes I wonder" part. Some-times-I-won-der-why-I-spend-the-lone-ly-nights. Sinatra's got a version that has absolutely zero heart. The singer has to have softness and pain in their voice like Nat King Cole and Frank sounds like he's yelling at a hoo-er when he "sings" it. I hear you on the different versions. I have every Billboard Hot 100 song and the charts go back to the 40s when they started keeping track of that stuff. Most years of the 40s and 50s there are 3 versions of the same song that made the hit parade that year. I listen to the old stuff a lot. Sometimes I like to cue some raging hits from the 40s and juxtapose them with stuff from the 80s and 90s and even the 00s. I'm rambling here but the 80s were the peak of diversity in pop music. The 90s was a slow death and from the 00s on, it's been 99% trash. I'm talking about popular music (Hot 100) not all music. AAAAAnnnyway..... Thanks again for this. I love how you slip in and out of the straight tune and just when I think you've totally lost me, there will be a run of notes I recognize and as soon as I have it in my grasp again, it's gone... until the next time. Real heady version, Love it man Dude you know I love some profesh levels. I'm headed over to bandcamp now. Late

Damn it takes a lot of patience to play that song..... I tried anyway just posted

ethaniverson.com/original-sheet-music-of-two-dozen-jazz-standards/ This is one of many standards where the "changes" people usually play on them today are slightly different from when they were written. You can learn alot from looking at old piano arrangements featured in this link. With Stella by Starlight you can look at these old chords and listen to pre-1958 (pre-miles) versions of this tune to get a sense of the "original" changes (and original key of g maj)

@@ragingbullfrogs I've been looking for the original changes for a while now. That's why I was so amazed when I saw your vid. Thanks a lot for responding.

Thanks Jon.. Yeah that's a good one for sure..Still have your OG 90s boom box..

@@ragingbullfrogs Yeah Stardust is amazing. I've tried to learn it but those jazz chords and quick changes are beyond me. I must have given you that boom box when I got run out of town by my psycho "friend." Good times. I actually reconnected with him a few years, went to visit him and almost the exact same thing happened again. #neveragain I think I've told you this before but if you're ever up in Seattle it's my treat. Cheers man

Thanks for listening and positive feedback.. So much left to learn from HN

.. Thanks for listening!.. and thanks for the Business Cards..
