Misty - Jazz Guitar Performance

Here's an arrangement of the classic standard 'Misty' - there are tons of great recordings out there, but the one I first heard a few years ago was Johnny Mathis' version; the sound of which is definitely an inspiration here. I decided to create a subtle 'trio' style backing track for this rendition, adds a little juice and fills out the solo section. I also tend to play rubato a lot so the backing keeps me in check!
Thanks for watching.

Guitar:
Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster w/Radioshop ID pickups, Chris Buck Strat pickup in the middle
Recording & Audio:
HX Stomp for everything - Audio interface, amp sim, effects
Logic - A touch of EQ and compression on the guitar, stock sounds to create the backing track
Video:
iPhone 14's cinematic mode, hence the slight abberation around the edges of the headstock etc

A tasty, atmospheric rendition without a load of dizzying improvisation. Inspires relaxation. Excellent .

[@pLacepartay]

Amazing.
My dad used to play this song all the time and it got me into music a lot. He used to play and I’d fall asleep next to him watching. I have never gotten quite good enough to play this like you are. Great job

[@mattrenoufmusic]

That's a lovely memory to have of your dad, it is a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing.

[@rae-everything]

Could listen all day.

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Very kind, thank you!

[@IllusionDD-ix6hm]

Such a great sound, i was so relaxed

[@BluesRoadHK]

Only one word came out from my mouth after listened is "wow"~

[@dglad9928]

Great arrangement performed by a very talented jazz guitarist. A very pleasurable listening experience.

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Jason-se1ke]

This is unreal. Simply spectacular.

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Thanks so much!

[@BassmanSkye]

One of my favorite jazz standards! Excellent performance, I love the sound of the telecaster.

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Hey, thanks a bunch! It's certainly a favourite of mine, thanks for the kind words.

[@music_without_cats]

And they say Teles/single-coils aren't suitable for jazz. Great example of how brightness and clarity can produce amazing result with a character of its own. Oh, and great playing, BTW. Loved both the arrangement and the performance. Wish I could play like this.

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Thanks so much, means a lot! I've been playing this song for a few years, starting with a simple chord melody and it's evolved over time. The more flourished parts add some intrigue, but there's always beauty even in the most simple version.

[@SidneyPiresSP]

I love your arrangement, super sound for the Tele, hard to believe no amp! Well done!

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Thank you! I still love playing through a real amp occasionally but the HX stomp is my daily driver these days and has been for quite a while.

[@fender4brad]

I expected a dryer tone, the playing is excellent, great job!

[@bertrandbuasri3064]

Ho man ! please do some more videos ! You're so good 🙂

[@TheThundrarash]

You took much from Gianluca Mantovanelli! But you added your touch lovely. So fresh, so clean! Soft and cloudy! Superb interpretation, bravissimo!

[@mattrenoufmusic]

Wow, what a great spot! Luca's an incredible player, I love the way he approaches the B section so couldn't resist borrowing a little to try and add it into my own vocabulary. Glad the rest of it passed the vibe check, thanks!

[@AresJazzOfficial]

Complimenti, iscritto volentieri!

[@shanelondon1907]

Beautiful rendition of this famous song. Very skillful playing by this guitarist who uses complex chords & fresh solos to get that right feeling in this tune version. SL
