Stella By Starlight

[sopwithcamels266]

lol, yeah and you and I know why but most rank and file punters don't.The punters that dig it don't know jazz, most likely come from a classical background.They have a pseudo understanding of jazz.Correct me if I'm wrong but there is a Major timing problem in his playing.

Any one who is into jazz for real can hear it.So yeah LOL

Oh dear. I googled:

Stuart Scharf (1941 – November 8, 2007) was an American composer, guitarist, and philosopher.[1] Scharf grew up in Crown Heights and attended Winthrop Junior High School. He was good friends with guitarist Jay Berliner who was a serious influence on his musical career. In the early 1960s, Scharf was lead guitarist for folk-singer Leon Bibb. (more on Wikipedia).

I hear your playing again - so delightful!

[AlfaAxel]

So beautiful! I have only once heard a guitarist who could improvise melody, chord/bass, in different styles also, 45 years ago, he was on tour with Leonard Cohen as accompanist, Stu Scharff was his name.

Wow.... I am just beginning to play well, but this blew me out of the water, and let me know how much farther I have yet to go. Excellent rendition and some very sweet chord shapes and fingering. Is this like a holy grail of sorts for a jazz player? Like 'Classical Gas'? I happen to be stomping my way through that and have moments when I can believe that I might get it...

[babinm]

That's a complicated looking amphlifier behind you. What are those components/

[MrChad1963]

Beautifully done, and you make a very complex piece look so easy!

[BocaFriend]

Greetings from a new sub in South Florida. Darren this is a scintillating rendition. (I've added it to my "La belle guitar" playlist on my humble channel) I don't know why, but I have a mental block which prevents me from discerning "Stella by Starlight" from "I Hear a Rhapsody".

Either way, it's all good so long as the musicians know! Cheers and best wishes, ~Terry

Oh my god! is that a Benedetto!?

[mdhakr]

Just 'fell' into this version of Stella. This is a wonderful interpretation of the song. Great walking base line.

[Chordwayze]

No worries about facial expressions... We all have them. I 'sing' my lines, to myself so I saw on YouTube and I look miserable too. You have a full sound with some good lines in there. Take no notice of crits. You're younger than I am, you have a darn sight more hair and you play better too.

[ddanze]

Real fine ... ignore the other dude's comments about

lack of emotion ... that's a tough progression to

get thru .. appreciate seeing it here very much!!

[derekfarreal]

sweeeeettt!! wish i could get a transcipt of what you just played!!! very nice, take care

[prsguitarsr4me]

nice, but it totally lacks emotion and musicality - its kind of dry, to be honest. the playing is solid, and, of course, everything played it 'correct' and 'hip', but there is more to it than that.

[Satchemo]

I have to say the walking bass line along with the chords is amazing - beautiful tune!

[sam22112211]

[wee2leeuw]

[xRisingForcex]

I don't like jazz. You are amazing. What does that mean?..

[PianoPlaya123]

Hey Darren, that sounds really great! Thanks for the submission!

-Cambry

[Lahed92801]

Amazing walking bass!

[joelsheldon]

Amazing - Big up Darren its been a while, still sounding sweet mate.

[jdw1980]

This playing deserves a wider audience. Also, great hair... Keep it up Darren!

[insaneshredders]

mmmmmmmmmm nice

[johnpizarelli89]

Love the walking bass, really nice touch. I'm like 16 and i just cannot get how people can separate their right hand. ARGH! Well, guess it's back to practice...

[calebl75]

Love your playing, and the Eastman sounds great too.

[tunekid]

It's a sound sweet as honey.Really lovely.Nice to find the wheat with so much chaff to sort through.

[Jazzjonny87]

Very nice. Thanks for your friend invitation. I can hear the Joe Pass influence, one of my main influences as well. Greetings, Jonathan
