Hi Karlito, unfortunately it takes a lot of time (20-25 hours) writing the tabs and scores of such complex arrangements and I am just a hobby musician with a normal job to do.... So I only have a few of my arrangments with scores and tabs.... but - I am sorry - I did not have tabbed Summertime yet..... But someday, when I will find the time, I will tab it..... many greetings Gerhard
I'm always hesitant when it comes to broad compositions done on solo guitar because there is only so much range and harmony you can carry. This is another one of those gems where you honor the composition but turn it into a wonderful solo guitar piece that makes it its own. Gorgeous. Well done, and thank you.
Hi Dylan, thank you very much for this sompliment...... yes,that´s the thing about fingerstyle guitar playing.... making the piece sound as a whole band and catching all of it´s harmony and rhythm... many greetings from Germany Gerhard
One of the very best arrangements out there.you had me smiling through out the whole piece wondering what you would do next .Love the harmonics at the end ,Gershwin would be envious of this arrangement ..Bravo
Hi, sorry for my late answer, but sometimes I have some troubles with youtube when I want to answer comments or linked comments......, but thank you very much for this great compliment..... that really makes me proud.... greetings from Germany Gerhard
Thank you very much, Andres, that´s just the classical way to play guitar - combining the melody with the bass and the harmonies..... - greetings from Germany - Gerhard
+Adam Rafferty Hi Adam, what a surprise to get a comment from you.... and what an honour for me being a hobby guitar player, getting such a compliment from a professional player like you.... We have met at the Frankfurt Musik Messe 2 or 3 years ago (with Werner F. from Stuttgart) - I bought some CD´s from you (that you had reserved for other people... ;-))) ). .... and your version of "Summertime is also a really great thing, also a very complex arrangement and as always played perfectly with a great soundig guitar.... I like your version very much.... Many greetings from Stuttgart/Germany - Gerhard
Gershwin's "Summertime" is in the top 10 of my favorite songs. Mr. Gschossmann, your arrangement and playing of it is second only to Billy Holidays performance of it in my opinion. Many, many congratulations on your work here!
wow...that intro and first few bars are completely mesmerizing... you can almost feel the sweat dripping off of you while you sit on an old southern style antebellum porch in the heat of the summer....just lovely stuff and tremendous chord voicings.
Hi blu archer, thank you very much for this really great compliment for me..... that´s exactly what I had in mind and what I tried to express in the mood and rhythm of my arrangement .... ;-))) thanks again - and greetings from Germany - Gerhard
I have watched this video countless times over the years, just beautifully arranged and played by a Master Musician. This is definitely my favorite fingerstyle arrangement of this wonderful tune. Thank you. cheers Paul
Hi Ysh, being just a hobby guitar player, this is a really giantic compliment for me.... thank you very much.... ;-)))) greetings from Germany - Gerhard
I used to play Summertime in lounges in Florida. I thought I played in well, but I sincerely wish I would have played the song like your arrangement. It is the best solo guitar version by far. Even the "name " guitarists are envious. BRAVO!
Hi Will, thank you very much for this great compliment !!! It really makes me proud, since I am only a hobby guitar player with a normal job to do.... ;-))) greetings from Germany to Florida - Gerhard
I remember stumbling on this a while back, and I happened on it again this evening- it’s the kind of thing that makes me alternate between wanting to spend all day everyday practising guitar, and thinking I should give up, sell all my gear and go fishing or something instead. An amazing arrangement by a great player with dexterous fingers that look to be about 9 inches long, filmed so it’s easy to see and appreciate what he’s doing, and to despair of ever getting anywhere near that level.
Sir, excellent.....beautiful. I am not a professional, but I enjoy singing my mother always wanted to learn this song... she loved it. Not so long ago she passed away. Today I remembered about her desire for me to sing this song, so I went on you tube today to find music and lyrics. Wonderful for me I found this video. WOW, enchanting, relaxing and beautiful. Thank you, I'll be subscribing today!
Hi R.D. - thank you very much for for this compliment and for your comment.... I am happy that my arrangement and playing of that tune brings back good memories of your mother.... greetings from Germany - Gerhard
For me this is the most beautiful song of the opera Porgy and Bess, composed by George Gershwin. Your interpretation is sensational, the sequence of chords is perfect and that end in harmonics give a special beauty. As usual a good job!
Hi Carles, thank you very much for this big compliment..... and yes, I am proud that I succeeded to make that arrangement..... greetings from Germany Gerhard
One of the greatest standards in music history by the great Gershwin. This beautiful version by Mr.Gschossmann and the Joe Pass rendition are the best I've ever heard! Great Music!
Hi Zak, thank you very very much for this outstanding compliment. I am only a hobby guitar player - and my version of Summertime standing beneath the version of Joe Pass, one of the really great masters of the last century - that is an amazing compliment for me.... thanks a lot again.... ;-))) greetings from Germany - Gerhard
I absolutely love your version and your technique. It just sounds fabulous. I love all the turn arounds and variations of the chord voicings. I think this is the best rendition ever. Thank you!

Etwas langsamer im Tempo als diverse andere Arrangements, aber mit sehr schönen Riffs und Harmonien. Ich finde, das Stück hat einen ganz eigenen tollen Charakter und ist handwerklich exzellent. Fühlt sich an als sei ich Lichtjahre von diesem Niveau entfernt ... 😉👍
Hallo Matthias, vielen Dank für das nette Kompliment. Für mein Gefühl darf das Stück nicht zu schnell sein - ich stelle mir dabei immer einen schwül-heißen Sommertag in den Südstaaten vor - und jeder will jegliche Bewegung und Kraftanstrengung vermeiden.... Und ja, das Arrangement gehört mit zu den schwierigsten Sachen, die ich gemacht hab - es gibt aber auch einfachere Arrangements, die trotzdem cool klingen. Viele Grüße Gerhard

@@GerhardGschossmann Greetings from Australia - I'm learning how to play this after an 8 year (at least) break from regular playing. I'm learning new chords outside my usual style and it's going to be a long time before I can mimic this. Can't wait though.
I'm very impressed not only at your technique and interpretation of the piece, but also that you manage to get an appropriate jazz-sound from a flat-top acoustic guitar.... excellent video
Hi Marwin, thank you very much for all these compliments..... I did not intend to get a jazzy sound out of a steel string, I just wanted to get a full sound with all the trebles and all the bass frequencies. And with a steel string one has to master a shorter sustain of the strings compared to a electrified jazz or other electric guitar. But playing it that way one can get the sound of a complete jazz combo - that´s what I like.... ;-))) many greetings from Germany Gerhard
You got my meaning, but what I meant to say was that this is the most incredible version of Summertime I have ever heard. Summertime is one of my most favorite songs. I would give anything to be able to play like you. Could you send the tabs & score to this song the way you play it. I would be very grateful. I had never heard of you before, but found you on youtube, and now that I have, I've been listening to everything you play on the internet. Keep playing, I love the way you play. If you ever come to the United States, I would love to come hear you play. Greetings from the United States. I live in Warner Robins, Georgia

Über Adam Raffertys Version von "Summertime" gelangte ich zu Ihrem Arrangement und - was soll ich sagen - ich kann Herrn Raffertys Kommentar hier nur beipflichten: "truly excellent"! :-) Überhaupt ein YT-Kanal, bei dem man gern verweilt und genießt, was es zu hören gibt. Wunderbar!
Ich höre mir grade meine Lieblingssongs als Piano- und Gitarrensolo in TH-cam an, weil ich ein Instrument lernen möchte und mich zwischen den beiden entscheiden muss. Nach dem Video steht die Entscheidung für mich fest. Bravo!
Hi André, das Wichtigste beim Spielen ist der Spaß und die Freude für einen selbst - und das geht mit Klavier genauso gut wie mit Gitarre.

Gerhard, my dear
Hear several of his performances and really liked it, "Summertime", "Georgia", "Stil got the blues", all very good, his talent is amazing!
I would like to see him loosen up your "swing", but that's just my opnion
a big hug
Its now a fan of Brazil
Hi Carlos,
Thank you so much.... I think, this is the biggest possible compliment for an artist, if their music touches that much, that people who listen want to change their life......
Many greetings to Mexico

Маэстро! Браво!

Flawless, my friend!
Hi Eric,
thank you very much - greetings from Germany - Gerhard
Herr Gerhard - terrific interpretation of this classic. Wunderbar!
Über Adam Raffertys Version von "Summertime" gelangte ich zu Ihrem Arrangement und - was soll ich sagen - ich kann Herrn Raffertys Kommentar hier nur beipflichten: "truly excellent"! :-)
Überhaupt ein YT-Kanal, bei dem man gern verweilt und genießt, was es zu hören gibt. Wunderbar!

Hi John,
thank you very much - many greetings from Germany - Gerhard
Ich höre mir grade meine Lieblingssongs als Piano- und Gitarrensolo in TH-cam an, weil ich ein Instrument lernen möchte und mich zwischen den beiden entscheiden muss. Nach dem Video steht die Entscheidung für mich fest. Bravo!
Hi André,
das Wichtigste beim Spielen ist der Spaß und die Freude für einen selbst - und das geht mit Klavier genauso gut wie mit Gitarre.
Jedes Instrument hat spezielle Vor- und Nachteile - deshalb würde ich auch empfehlen, am Besten beides zu lernen, enn man das zeitlich irgendwie unterbringt.... ;-))9
Ich wünsche Dir auf jeden Fall viel Freude beim selber Musik machen....
viele Grüße aus Stuttgart - Gerhard
That's incredible!
Hi Benjamin,
