    I'm always hesitant when it comes to broad compositions done on solo guitar because there is only so much range and harmony you can carry. This is another one of those gems where you honor the composition but turn it into a wonderful solo guitar piece that makes it its own. Gorgeous. Well done, and thank you.

      Hi Dylan,
      thank you very much for this sompliment...... yes,that´s the thing about fingerstyle guitar playing.... making the piece sound as a whole band and catching all of it´s harmony and rhythm...

    Hi Karlito,
    unfortunately it takes a lot of time (20-25 hours) writing the tabs and scores of such complex arrangements and I am just a hobby musician with a normal job to do....
    So I only have a few of my arrangments with scores and tabs.... but - I am sorry - I did not have tabbed Summertime yet.....
    But someday, when I will find the time, I will tab it.....
    many greetings

    Mr. Gschossmann, your arrangement and playing of it is second only to Billy Holidays performance of it in my opinion.
    Many, many congratulations on your work here!

      Hi Adam,
      what a surprise to get a comment from you.... and what an honour for me being a hobby guitar player, getting such a compliment from a professional player like you....
      We have met at the Frankfurt Musik Messe 2 or 3 years ago (with Werner F. from Stuttgart) - I bought some CD´s from you (that you had reserved for other people... ;-))) ).
      .... and your version of "Summertime is also a really great thing, also a very complex arrangement and as always played perfectly with a great soundig guitar.... I like your version very much....
      Many greetings from Stuttgart/Germany - Gerhard
