Yesterday, The Beatles
Музыка
This week I recorded Yesterday by The Beatles for my Granma‘s Birthday! Another one in the ‘series‘ of pop arrangements for family birthdays :)
Just before this recording Daniel Zucali brought to me my new crossover guitar! She has a spruce top with plum tree wood on the back and sides, along with a cutaway, and an AER Ak15+ microphone/pickup system. The guitar has traditional bracing which is the best option for an instrument that is to be amplified because otherwise the resonances would be too overwhelming. Zucali really does a great job at maintaining the sound, feel, and character of a classical guitar, whilst also having the ability for it to be amplified. I look forward to performing with this instrument on my Germany tour soon alongside some fantastic jazz guitarists!
I really love playing this guitar and I hope you enjoy the sound!

Flawless technique with incredible sensitivity. What a beautiful performance.
I have listened to just a few of your videos, but I am so impressed by your talent. I have been playing guitar since I was 8. I am 60 now. Your passion in this piece makes me tear up. I think I could recognize your playing style now where/however I may hear you play, because it moves me so much, plucking my heart strings so to speak. It renews my own musical passion, though I could never reach your level of playing..... I can do Carcassi's Opus 60 study No. 7 as one of my personal bests, hehe, I thought that was something, hehe. Yet again I have been put in my place. The Classical expressions in your playing are very musically pleasing and fresh. Thank you for your endless hours of constant training, pain, triumphs, and commitment to your art so you could share a little of your musical soul with us as beautifully as you do. Best wishes to you and yours. I will never forget your music. You now live in my head With the likes of Beethoven, Carcassi, the Gershwins, Pink Floyd, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, etc. hehe! Nice guitar as well.

I agree. I can feel the expression of anguish in her playing. Very emotional. Very real.

Karolina Protsenko Violin KZread covers- including the Beatles- quite stirring as well.
In ~1978 I saw Segovia perform in Kleinhans Hall in Buffalo NY. The stage was dusty; with a single stool. The old man shuffled out, sat, and started to play. At that moment, the volume of the hall filled. Every note was a work of art, with its own unique character. Listening to you brought that moment back to me. May you continue to flourish.

I saw Segovia in Liverpool in 67 and again in 72. He was the Master. However we now have Stephanie - if only they could have performed together.
the sound is so crisp and clear. a real virtuoso
🎶🌸 Sheesh. Tone, nuance, and breath. Those are Stephanie Jones' strengths. Breath: the rests, extension, and spaces between passages of notes which are equally as critical for a piece to have life and much, much more.
The Beatles are nothing more than timeless. What a song!! And this masterful arrangement couldn't be played better!
I don't know whom to thank more: The interpret in this video or the arranger. This was absolutely beautiful and for 4 minutes, i was taken out of were i am sitting and into a another sphere. Thank you, Stephanie!

Bravissima!!!!!!!❤
Absolutely great. Realy the best and most sensitive interpretion I´ve ever seen and heard.
The phrasing and dynamics in this interpretation are pure magic.
An angel embracing the sweetest instrument. Technically she plays perfect and clean, but is the soul that she puts in every piece she interprets from the classic, baroque or folklore world of music what makes the pieces more beautiful and enjoyable. Bravo maestra!
Listening to this lady, one can't help but feel the music just like she does. She's so expressive ... love it!
Damn, that is one sweet instrument! So open and vibrant. Doesn't hurt that Steph's the one playing it. And such an amazing arrangement. Thanks for this!
Stephanie that was beautiful, anyone can see and hear how much your music means to you and how you make such a pure sound, simply magic, thank you.
That is, for me, the most wonderful solo instrument arrangement of Yesterday I have ever heard. And I cannot imagine it being played any better, by anyone. A joy to watch your technique, too. Such wonderful hands.
Be still my heart. Your are one of the most gifted and absolutely brilliant musicians the world has to offer. Bravo, once again you have captured my heart🌹❤
That was absolutely lovely. Thank you, and thank Toru Takemitsu!
So incredible seeing the passion in her hands
John, Paul, George, and Ringo must be very proud. Awesomely done.👍
Just want to give this young lady a big hug and say thank you, 3 minutes of bliss! 🙏🏻
Wonderful! Loved the performance and takemitsu's arrangement is remarkable!
Excellent, expression, clarity, and performance. Truly inspired.
Beautiful beautiful interpretation! It sprouts from the soul. You are fantastic!
This is just the best. Congrats to all involved in making the video. And also to Daniel Zucali. What a beautiful guitar! And player too!
The execution sent me reeling as you instilled a depth of feeling that grasped the woes and soared far beyond the ceiling.
Brilliant performance of a beautiful arrangement.
Beautiful arrangement, it was almost speaking the words. All our yesterdays were there.
Lovely playing, you always balance technical perfection and great emotion in your playing. This lighted up my day! ❤️
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talent and artistry!

This guitar is completely transparent through all registers. Amazing (and some wonderful music too).

Wonderfull! And great arrangement! I think you really catch the meaning of the music and passed it with the instrumental performance without any words. This is really amazing!
Oh my dear Stephanie! what part of excellence is the arrangement, the instrument, and the performer! Again, you have improved on a masterpiece. Love the distinct notes, no fret noise, the passion with with you recite the poetry of the music: thank you! Happy birthday grandmother indeed!
Your Grandma should be proud: so far this is my favourite rendition!
Love the sound of the crossover guitar. real mellow, crisp and clean.

Hard to write how absolutely beautifully you play this piece .. you’ve taken a simple Beatles Rock tune and elevated it to something angelic . Your chords , the stretch of your fingers , your mastery .. outstanding .

So refreshing that Stephanie has elevated Yesterday to a Classical piece! Lovely indeed!!
Many thanks for this. I’m only a middling amateur , for the last 50 years, heard many other guitarist concerts , but there is something about your playing that is just so refreshingly brilliant. It’s at new heights. So, thanks again for another beautiful posting , superb.

Thank you for giving this to the world
I wish I could play guitar like that. I taught myself to play the piano by ear from listening to my mom play. The Beatles were the first songs I taught myself. Thanks for this great song.
M a listener , but l like when a musician enjoys theirs creations¡
You played so good and with feelings.I heard in KZread the Interview of Paul McCartney, he composed the music to his Biological Mother that he missed and dedicated The song Yesterday to her.
so much expression in just one song. beautiful and enchanting. thank you.
Beautiful & Masterful!! I hope your Grandma had a wonderful birthday!
