Here I am playing a solo guitar arrangement of Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael. Published in 1927 and recorded by several artists over the years, including Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Django Reinhardt, Nat King Cole, Willie Nelson, and many many more.
The guitar here is a Gibson L-7 from 1937 with a Charlie Christian inspired pickup into a Fender Deluxe Reverb.
Feel free to reach out. I’m working on transcriptions to be available on my website (under construction) Erikmcintyre.com

And precisely what I needed on a rainy day in London

[@michaelgaurnier3108]

You totally captured the spirit and nuance of Hoagy’s recording!

[@Rikmacmusic]

Wow thank you for saying that! Ultimately that is my goal, the spirit, above all. The “muse” of music I like to say. the “ic” being the technique, etc should be in service of the muse !

[@railworker8058]

Incredible arrangement: one guitar sounding like two. A true master of the instrument.

[@michaelcantwell3652]

Sounds beautiful, looks complicated

[@onerandombruh]

It is complicated.

[@Rikmacmusic]

Thank you! Remember any complicated thing is made up of simple things :)

[@hankd18]

Thank you for the ear candy...just what I needed on a cloudy day in Maryland

[@strings41]

Great! I love your rhythmic chord style. Very rare these days.

[@DavidAmbrose-jx5mg]

Hi Erik, This is the sweetest rendition of Stardust I've ever heard. On a par with the great man himself ( Hoagy) .... Thank you so much for sharing and for the pleasure your playing brings. All the best, David Ambrose.

[@Rikmacmusic]

Wow David, that means a lot. One of my favorite tunes, and there are some really lovely recordings out there. The way I play it continues to change, but I’m really glad to hear you found some inspiration in this little snapshot :)

[@a1wireless1964]

Absolutely fantastic, someone listened and studied Chet Atkins.

[@dennisferrell3662]

Fantastic!

[@walterbriggs272]

Willie Nelson is the first time I heard this on guitar, and I thought it was rough, he seemed to brush over parts as he was singing. This version is smooth, flowing. I still want to learn the song

[@procyon6445]

This is even more cool than the smoking skeleton in the background 😎

[@newnoggin2]

Loved the harmonics.

[@antonionadalin6573]

Thank you for this beautiful interpretation of this tune. ✨✨✨🙏☀️

[@Mosey410]

Bravo 👏 now I have something new to learn. Hoagie was something else,wasn’t he.

[@Rikmacmusic]

Thanks! Indeed.. in a class all his own

Wundervoll ,zart wie ein warmer Sommerwind

Simple and genuis

[@aurum79argentum47]

Sweetness and light

[@pharmerdavid1432]

Beautiful rendition, bravo! That floating CC pickup sounds lovely, although that's mostly your touch, but I love CC pickups - have a bit of a fetish for them. Those inlays on your L7 are just like the inlays on my 1990's Gibson SJ Deluxe (J45 rosewood and bling), which Ren Ferguson made to show-off the new Gibson acoustic factory in Montana. ANYways, appreciated-liked-subscribed...!

[@ericmintz6689]

Very nice arangement of a classic tune. That wonderful near-century-old guitar is in the good hands!

[@Rikmacmusic]

Thank you! So many good tune from this era.. but this is surely one of my favorites. I don’t have this guitar anymore, but it is in good hands with its new owner :)

[@ericmintz6689]

@@Rikmacmusic Looking forward to hearing more of those great tunes from you soon. Hard to believe that you could let that beauty go, but life is full of farewells.

Bingo!

[@jamesevans9007]

First rate! You've given a lot of aspiring guitarists another goal.

[@Rikmacmusic]

Thanks James that means a lot ! I love this song and never play it quite the same twice. I appreciate that thought and I hope this does inspire others :)

[@dennismason3740]

Most excellent. Thank you. I've been wanting to play Stardust like that (with a little Django) for 53 years. I'm to about the third measure. My brain doesn't get it. My fingers seem to get it however they tend to do what the brain says much of the time. My favorite version is Louis Armstrong's from the thirties? He sings like a saxophone.

[@Rikmacmusic]

Thanks ! I play it a little different every time. One of my favorite songs. The Armstrong 30s recording is the good stuff!! I love that as well as the recording of Hoagy vocal/piano recording. In case you’re interested- I recently transcribed this rendition and put it on my site erikmcintyre.com/store

[@dennismason3740]

@@Rikmacmusic - thanks! One day I will learn to read. I was just listening to the Hoagy version yesterday!
