This chord melody arrangement of Stella by Starlight for solo jazz guitar features altered and extended chords, reharmonizations and more! Great for electric, acoustic or classical guitar.

Four pages sheet music with tablature and chord changes.

I transcribed the original guitar part of this amazing song bij Don Mclean.
It's inspired by the famous painting of the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh.

I'm Dutch too and i couldn't find a real good tab or guitar part of this song. So i made it by myself.

Have fun with it! Best Regards, William van de Groep .

FORMATTED FOR TWO-SIDED PRINTING: Internationally acclaimed acoustic guitarist Ellsworth ("El") McMeen has been arranging hymns and other spiritual music for guitar for over 30 years. He started in standard guitar tuning, but moved away from that tuning into various so-called "open" tunings. He has been called the "King of CGDGAD tuning," in light of his prolific arrangements and compositions in that lush and evocative tuning. This major work of spiritual music contains 26 guitar settings of hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs, all lovingly arranged for solo fingerstyle guitar in the CGDGAD tuning. This book contains a chord chart for the aid of the reader. El is included in the Digitaldreamdoor listing of the 100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists. https://tinyurl.com/GreatestGuitarists Many of El's recordings are described here: https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/ElMcMeen

The audio sampler contains excerpts from these 10 songs, all in CGDGAD tuning:

1. Alleluia, Sing to Jesus
2. In Christ There is No East or West
3. Jacob's Ladder
4. Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
5. Kingsfold (Tune: "Star of the County Down")
6. Poor Wayfaring Stranger
7. Praise to the Lord
8. Simple Gifts
9. This Is My Father's World
10. When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (Tune:
"Water is Wide")

ISBN 9781610651783. As one can easily imagine, it would be very hard for a guitar student to start reading the scores of the traditional choro repertoire, most of them with large number of technical difficulties. It would be much better if they could start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner. That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 more commonly used keys for the choro guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros, there are polkas, maxixes, Brazilian tangos and xotis. The more used and characteristic rhythmical figurations are present in each of the studies as the principal. Also aiming at the simplification of execution, all studies were composed with only two voices (melody and bass) and with no chords (although harmonies are quite evident due to the choro melodic particularities). Audio with all 13 studies is included.
