Summertime by George Gershwin - Jazz Guitar

in music •  5 years ago 

Composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess, this song has gone on to become one of the most popular jazz tunes ever recorded and is a must for any jazz guitarist to add to his or her repertoire. Chuck was very kind to upload this video to GuitarLots and he uses interesting techniques in this classic jazz standard.

Of course there are many interesting arrangements of Summertime on just about every instrument, but I am going to include three versions of the song.
