Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Classical Guitar)

Hi all! I hope you enjoy this video of Over the Rainbow by Harold Arlen. The arrangement is by David Jaggs, with added notes here and there from myself. The link to get the score is below:

The video is recorded in the gorgeous art studio of Felix Justen. Felix is the founder of Guitarlift and the artist who painted all of my stunning Guitarlifts!

I am playing on my beautiful Daniel Zucali guitar :)

Production: Jakob Schmidt
Support: Guitarlift
Strings: Hannabach

(the end of the video says 2020 but this was actually made in 2021!)

Stephanie makes every piece sound over the rainbow.

In another all-too-brief video she is seen playing a mean jazz saxophone, in her earlier years. Such an amazing talent... I am astounded at the way that she so perfectly marries the bass accompaniment to the melody line. I find it possible to just focus attention on the bass notes when listening. You can hear them drop in with precisely the right timing and touch, every time. In a just world this video would be at around 10 million views by now.

Words just cannot describe how I feel about this rendition. I'm stunned. If one listens closely enough, I believe they'll feel every note...

If I could type the sound of a relaxed breath out, I would. Beautifully played and kudos to the videographer, artfully captured.

Whenever I hear Stephanie play any piece of music, my eyes immediately fill with tears. What a phenomenal musician. It is beyond words. Thank you Stephanie. I am so grateful. You are an angel.

So funny. I watched numerous arrangements of Over the Rainbow, and liked DJ's the best. After watching Steph's wonderful performance, I'm now convinced DJ's IS the best one out there. It's authentic, and how I remember it. Search is over, and now it's time to shell out some $$$ and get to work.

Given the state of the world right now, I'd say we all need a trip over the rainbow. You bring us hope and beauty with your talent. Blessings upon you for sharing it with us.

Love, love, love it! Also seeing Stephanie playing is a feast for the eyes. Every note she plays comes from her heart. Kudos, Stephanie 👏

It is very rare to hear this depth of heartfelt and beautiful expression. Very rare to hear it from any performer...instrumental or vocal. This talent is other-worldly.
