This is a complete transcription (excluding drums) of this Johnny Smith classic recording of “Tenderly”. This Jazz standard made its first popular appearance as sung by Sarah Vaughan, for whom it became a hit in 1947. By then, it was played in the originally intended time signature of 3/4 (waltz), which soon evolved into the triadic 4/4 feeling played on Johnny Smith’s later recording. This particular recording originates from the 1952-53 recordings (5/12/1952, to be exact) by the jazz record label Roost Records, which released it on the second LP of the, Johnny Smith Quintet - Jazz at NBC (1953). It was later released under the artist name of Johnny Smith Quintet (featuring Stan Getz) on the successful 1956 compilation album, Moonlight in Vermont. This recording famously features saxophonist Stan Getz, who was the slightly bigger name on the record label at he time; hence, the recording is often still catalogued under his artist name. The star of this recording, however, is certainly guitarist Johnny Smith with his incredible arrangement of melodic chord playing. His effortlessness here comes from practice, and this piece has indeed been practiced by generations of jazz guitarists. Enjoy this gem of Jazz history!

Yeah, man! These arrangements are so good. I have a lot more on my website :)
Master at putting a melody into chords...voicing and fingering second to none....
Thanks for the great work...i'm going to see if my father can still read music..and will buy ...
I updated my transcription quite a bit since making this video in 2017!
The update is available on my website ☺🎸
My goodness thanks for posting! This is incredible. A great guitar player , up there with another one of my favorite Mr. George Barnes.
Yes! Happy to see the George Barnes reference too, I got to know his protégé Duncan James here in SF a little, great player, cool guy too.
Great job on a great artist! Never got to see him. Called him once to express my admiration and he instantly invited me to dinner. Such a gracious man and superb musician. Funny story: he took the Ventures to dinner and they didn't realize at first that he was the man who made them rich by writing "Walk Don't Run" ! Someone else told them. Thank you for this fine, easy to follow (not easy to play (!) transcription.
Thank you so much for the kind words and good anecdotes :D - imagine, if all comments on RUclips were like yours!
Gorgeous arrangement and playing. Wonderful that you were able to transcribe it. Thanks!
Thank you, Eric. I must admit that I have made a few correction since this video, available on the website.

Great job, man, it is a real gem! Recorded in november 1952, released in 1953 (note the date in the transcription...), Getz at that time rising as a soloist, but here just a modest participation, but Beautiful.
Oh man, I love people who care for factual precision :D - So, I found the recording date to be December 5th 1952. It that wrong then? What is your source for November 1952?
@@PlayLikeTheGreatscom Man, sorry about my delay... I have a 1991 CD edition, from a label named Roulette Jazz (Blue Note), Licensed by EMI Records, dating these sessions between 13-19 november. The songs recorded: Sometimes I'm Happy; Stars Fell on Alabama; Nice Work if You Can Get it; Tenderly. Sanford Gold on piano, Bob Carter on the bass, and drummer Morey Feld. Thanx for your reply!
