- "Stardust"
Music by Hoagy Carmichael; Lyrics by Mitchell Parish
My attempt at an exact transcription of the version by Laurindo Almeida. Recorded on his album "Concierto de Aranjuez"
Learned by ear. I have nothing written down.
Taylor NS54-ce, hybrid classical
Standard tuning
D'addario Pro Arte normal tension nylon strings
I thank my dad's generation for leaving us "...a song that will not die." Your version joins the other greats.
Many different interpretations of this classic melody suffer of rushed tempo, the timing here of this great player is just marvellous.
Elegant, sophisticated, beautiful. And more.
I'm practically wordless... the music and your mastery of the instrument say it all. What a completely delicious chunk of sound that was! Bravo Tony, bravo.
Não me canso de ouvir a execução de grandes obras com a excelência e claridade com que você as executa! Parabéns 👏👏👏👏
Laurindo would have been pleased with this rendition .well done ..
I love this song. Outstanding rendition!
Beautiful just beautiful
An American gem, and so are you. May you continue for many years.
Love the playing and the arrangement. If I close my eyes, it carries me off to a wistful, meditative place.
Really I dunno remember how many years ago I met this talented and elegant guitar player. Since that time, we got old with the difference that I'm am loosing the will of doing the things while he gets better and better ever ♥
greetings from Roma, AndreA.
Tony nobody gets more out of a guitar than you. Beautiful. I think you just played more chords than I'll ever learn in my lifetime!
Oh my dear! This is brilliant.So sweet. Wonderful Tony. Just wonderful to listen to with your eyes closed. I feel like I am watching a B/W movie and there is this guitar player in a bar... sigh...
Thank you!

Great, good to hear you again!
'Sublime' ~ the quality of measured greatness. That rendition was lovely, Tony.
Tony! I'm speechless. You are the single most perfect guitarist I ever heard. I have heard so many renditions of this wonderful piece that I thought it couldn't be bettered. You just took it to another level. SUPERB interpretation. Thank you so very much.
Wow... Zero dislikes... THAT pretty much sums it up..
Plenty of videos, I don't even watch all the way... I couldn't take my eyes off your playing... Mesmerizing...
That last section with the bosa nova rhythm... Man... If I could play JUST that. I would be so happy...
Bravo Tony!
It is always a pleasure to hear your "soundproducing" and your choice of pieces!
Thanks for sharing your gems,
Wolfgang

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy your playing so much...thanks.
Fantástico.
Como sempre, aliás!...
Parabéns.
Every time I get obsessed with a great song like this, or like 'That's All There Is' I look on TH-cam and there's this guy ( troubleclef) who has mastered a fantastic and impossible guitar version.
Funny, your ear looks normal, and yet it seems so much more talented than mine.
😅 fascinating ...and wonderful !
Just walked by a bronze tablet a week or two ago dedicated to Hoagy in Bloomington Indiana... Well played!!!
¡Fantástico, amigo! ¡Me encanta! Gracias por compartir tu arte.
Pure Awesomeness!!!
Dreamy!😍

Wow, this is fantastic. One of my favorite songs, and you quite do it justice. Great!
Hello! I follow you since your begginings on youtube! Glad to found you again... Great you are!
Such a delighful version, love when that great bossa groove starts at second half. I'll have to listen to that album (despite the inevitable, ever-present "Aranjuez"). Thanks for keep sharing your videos!
Thanks, Brian. The games were really awesome this year. Hope you got to see some and the traffic wasn't too bad!
This is so beautiful!!!! Thanks for uploading
Stunning arrangement.
Tony...your rendition sparks and ignites a love for music! This is incredibly beautiful. The best arrangement I've heard. Your connection to that guitar is also UNMATCHED by anyone I've heard (and I've listened to a lot). It rings out in your playing.....as clear as a bell to me. Such a joy that you share your amazing talent with us. Thank you for this little masterpiece. ~Janie
Very very nice. Very mellow.
Really fantastic!
This is really a beautiful performance -- great tone and feeling. Hoagy would be proud!
Thanks, Jim
Wonderful! Makes me wish I had stuck with classical guitar, although I do enjoy my old piano. Making your own music is its own reward. Fabulous performance of a fabulous arrangement of a fabulous song.
TU80609 thanks a lot
Que coisa mais linda, bela bossa meu amigo! Eu amo Stardust e você simplesmente a levou pra outro nível. Obrigado!
Janie, thanks! Very kind of you to say. Yes, Laurindo Almeida's arrangement is fabulous. I'd tooled around with doing my own from time to time but this was so much more satisfying.
thanks, Spencer. Yeah, Almeida's arrangement is a real treat. cheers.
Thanks, David. I'll have to look for Duarte's arrangements of standards. I do like his music in general and have played a handful of his pieces and arrangements through the years.
fantastic - really good. i'll put into my favourites file. you've got a great ear, my friend
Excellent!
Amazing stuff, Tony.
excelente interpretación y arreglo musical
Nice one Tony, really great!
My mentor, Howard Heitmeyer and Laurindo travelled in the same circles. I just love the intertwining of the Bossa rhythm in this piece!
I love this song, and saw it late last night on my subs list when closing down... guitargal - Janie just shared it and I'm so glad she did. Beautiful playing! :)
How lovely ( no change there then ! ) Fabulous chords Tony .Great Rhythm change at 2.39 . Really enjoyed it , Best wishes , Brian ( from the cold side of the pond ! ALTHOUGH weather good for the Olympics ! Persisting down this week ! )
