- This week I recorded Yesterday by The Beatles for my Granma‘s Birthday! Another one in the ‘series‘ of pop arrangements for family birthdays :)
Just before this recording Daniel Zucali brought to me my new crossover guitar! She has a spruce top with plum tree wood on the back and sides, along with a cutaway, and an AER Ak15+ microphone/pickup system. The guitar has traditional bracing which is the best option for an instrument that is to be amplified because otherwise the resonances would be too overwhelming. Zucali really does a great job at maintaining the sound, feel, and character of a classical guitar, whilst also having the ability for it to be amplified. I look forward to performing with this instrument on my Germany tour soon alongside some fantastic jazz guitarists!
I really love playing this guitar and I hope you enjoy the sound!

I have listened to just a few of your videos, but I am so impressed by your talent. I have been playing guitar since I was 8. I am 60 now. Your passion in this piece makes me tear up. I think I could recognize your playing style now where/however I may hear you play, because it moves me so much, plucking my heart strings so to speak. It renews my own musical passion, though I could never reach your level of playing..... I can do Carcassi's Opus 60 study No. 7 as one of my personal bests, hehe, I thought that was something, hehe. Yet again I have been put in my place. The Classical expressions in your playing are very musically pleasing and fresh. Thank you for your endless hours of constant training, pain, triumphs, and commitment to your art so you could share a little of your musical soul with us as beautifully as you do. Best wishes to you and yours. I will never forget your music. You now live in my head With the likes of Beethoven, Carcassi, the Gershwins, Pink Floyd, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, etc. hehe! Nice guitar as well.
yes sir.. quite unique, a true gift from God to listen to
I agree. I can feel the expression of anguish in her playing. Very emotional. Very real.
She’s a great classical pop guitarist and one of the best. I love u’r emotions while playing the guitar and so sweet. Ur beautiful ❤❤❤
Karolina Protsenko Violin CZcams covers- including the Beatles- quite stirring as well.
Flawless technique with incredible sensitivity. What a beautiful performance.
In ~1978 I saw Segovia perform in Kleinhans Hall in Buffalo NY. The stage was dusty; with a single stool. The old man shuffled out, sat, and started to play. At that moment, the volume of the hall filled. Every note was a work of art, with its own unique character. Listening to you brought that moment back to me. May you continue to flourish.
I saw Segovia in Liverpool in 67 and again in 72. He was the Master. However we now have Stephanie - if only they could have performed together.
An angel embracing the sweetest instrument. Technically she plays perfect and clean, but is the soul that she puts in every piece she interprets from the classic, baroque or folklore world of music what makes the pieces more beautiful and enjoyable. Bravo maestra!
I don't know whom to thank more: The interpret in this video or the arranger. This was absolutely beautiful and for 4 minutes, i was taken out of were i am sitting and into a another sphere. Thank you, Stephanie!
Majestic
Je pense être du même avis que
vous sans m'interroger.....
l'accord de l'interprète et de
l'arranger sont convaincants.
Pour les paroles écouter les
Beatles et vous avez "all right"
Bonsoir
Bravissima!!!!!!!❤
The Beatles are nothing more than timeless. What a song!! And this masterful arrangement couldn't be played better!
the sound is so crisp and clear. a real virtuoso
Damn, that is one sweet instrument! So open and vibrant. Doesn't hurt that Steph's the one playing it. And such an amazing arrangement. Thanks for this!
🎶🌸
Sheesh.
Tone, nuance, and breath. Those are Stephanie Jones' strengths. Breath: the rests, extension, and spaces between passages of notes which are equally as critical for a piece to have life and much, much more.
Wonderful guitar music. Thank you very much, The Beatles, and Stephanie Jones. 🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖
And Toru Takemitsu.
The phrasing and dynamics in this interpretation are pure magic.
John, Paul, George, and Ringo must be very proud. Awesomely done.👍
Listening to this lady, one can't help but feel the music just like she does. She's so expressive ... love it!
Excellent, expression, clarity, and performance. Truly inspired.
That is, for me, the most wonderful solo instrument arrangement of Yesterday I have ever heard. And I cannot imagine it being played any better, by anyone. A joy to watch your technique, too. Such wonderful hands.
Beautiful arrangement, it was almost speaking the words. All our yesterdays were there.
Brilliant performance of a beautiful arrangement.
So incredible seeing the passion in her hands
Oh my dear Stephanie! what part of excellence is the arrangement, the instrument, and the performer! Again, you have improved on a masterpiece. Love the distinct notes, no fret noise, the passion with with you recite the poetry of the music: thank you! Happy birthday grandmother indeed!
The execution sent me reeling as you instilled a depth of feeling that grasped the woes and soared far beyond the ceiling.
Wow a beautiful girl a beautiful guitar with beautiful tone a beautiful tune in a beautiful arrangement! I think that ticks all the boxes!🙏🏻
This guitar is completely transparent through all registers. Amazing (and some wonderful music too).
Thank you, Ms. Jones. I remember when Yesterday was released. Beauty endures.
Absolutely great. Realy the best and most sensitive interpretion I´ve ever seen and heard.
Beautiful beautiful interpretation! It sprouts from the soul. You are fantastic!
Stephanie that was beautiful, anyone can see and hear how much your music means to you and how you make such a pure sound, simply magic, thank you.
I wish I could play guitar like that. I taught myself to play the piano by ear from listening to my mom play. The Beatles were the first songs I taught myself. Thanks for this great song.
The way you play together with your feelings and the stretch of your fingers looks like you made that song, Bravo!...
Absolutely gorgeous, this is the reason I love music so much, thank you for this :)
Thumbs down? Sad sad people. Thank you for sharing your talent and years of practice.
Just want to give this young lady a big hug and say thank you, 3 minutes of bliss! 🙏🏻
Wonderful！！very Beautiful tones.
Your Grandma should be proud: so far this is my favourite rendition!
How can anyone thumbs down this video? It’s beautiful.
Most likely misogynists rather that guitar critics :(
What a lucky family! Thank you for sharing this lovely arrangement!
Beautiful & Masterful!! I hope your Grandma had a wonderful birthday!
Beautiful Steph. Love and light
Beautifully played....! 🌹
What a beautiful instrument. The voice is forward and the resonance oh wow!
Great. Happy birthday Grandma, you're very lucky to have a granddaughter to play such wonderful music to you. Best wishes to you both.

Love the sound of the crossover guitar. real mellow, crisp and clean.
Wonderful! Loved the performance and takemitsu's arrangement is remarkable!
I don't like playing the guitar, but I couldn't stop playing your guitar. My hands were frozen and my mind was relieved.
Gorgeous in sight, sound and passion.
Fantastic sound- lovely guitar, great arrangement and wonderful rendition

Incredibly lovely......what an effort and you make it look effortless...thanks for sharing.....!!!!
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talent and artistry!
Bravissimo!!👏👏. Excelente execução e interpretação. Graças a internet, temos o privilégio de assistir um show desse nível que só assiste nos teatros famosos. Me emocionei, não só com sua habilidade mas também com sua interpretação, a maneira com o seu sentimento ao tocar cada nota, cada acorde. Congratulation, only wonderfull. Thank you for your bless
Beautiful, I love the part with harmonics.
This is the most beautiful arrangement that I ever heard. Thanks for sharing.
I agree. Thanks.
Good arangment, and very good playing. Thank you, for you perfomance!
C’est magnifique ! Des accords tellement riches... magique !
Vraiment magique!
Hard to write how absolutely beautifully you play this piece .. you’ve taken a simple Beatles Rock tune and elevated it to something angelic . Your chords , the stretch of your fingers , your mastery .. outstanding .
All of those dislikes are definitely not accomplished guitarists otherwise they would know how good this is. Well done Stephanie.
A wonder of talent! Thank God there are folks like you that take the time to give us a moment in time to remember our true sense of being! I wish you the very best of happiness always!
Brava, Maestra! Magnificent.
*Now here's an excellent example of superb musicianship.*

Very happy birthday to your grandma, Stephanie! Love the clean sound of your new guitar. I'm sure that it is very inspiring to you to play it.
Very nice, soothing, mellow, thoughtful. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for this. I’m only a middling amateur , for the last 50 years, heard many other guitarist concerts , but there is something about your playing that is just so refreshingly brilliant. It’s at new heights. So, thanks again for another beautiful posting , superb.
Love ly playing ofa great song
Wonderful performance! 👍👍👍
Best regards! 👍
Great arrangement, and great playing (as usual) Stephanie! What a beautiful 'right hand' you have!
Thank you for sharing your beauty and Art
So refreshing that Stephanie has elevated Yesterday to a Classical piece! Lovely indeed!!
Version arranged by Toru Takemitu is so beautiful!
Just beautiful.....and you make it look so effortless. Very impressive.
Wow! Beautiful and emotional performance. Love your playing.
You played so good and with feelings.I heard in CZcams the Interview of Paul McCartney, he composed the music to his Biological Mother that he missed and dedicated The song Yesterday to her.
Hermoso arreglo y una extraordinaria interpretacion!! Saludos desde Peru.
Beautifully played and you can't fault such a classic song.
So full of emotion. Best instrumental version so far.🤗👍💖
wow, those harmonics! so beautifully played and what an amazing arrangement by Toru Takemitsu!
Loved the harmonics, and their bell like tones float above the chord progressions.
Takemitsu is amazing!!! Highly recomend “From me flows what you call time”. Its very experimental and dissonant but its an astonishing experience aswell
@@emilioguzmanalvarez420 thank you, I will check it out! :-)
the GREAT Toru TAKEMITSU, I have all Toru's recordings...
Is this arranged by T. Takemitu?
Yesterday clásico The Beatles, interpretado en guitarra, extraordinario, una belleza.
You GO girl. Although I am from the '60s I'm so very proud of many millennials who have taken the time to look back over the greatest rock songs in history. NOT because I have a prideful, arrogant attitude that says "my generation was the best". NO, but because it is not until the youngsters eat, breath-in, play and enjoy the '60s and 70's music, (and use that as a foundation), that they can ADVANCE and take us all to NEW heights and new directions with EQUAL greatness. Everyone of the greats of the 60s and 70s started out by doing the music of those who went before ....
Excellent, expression, clarity, and performance
I would never be asleep so soundly that the sound of your guitar would not lure me to my window.
Linda e toca maravilhosamente!
Beautiful! Both song and woman.🙂 Very emotional playing, and an exceptional performance.
I can feel this piercing thru my bone. Marvelous!
Musica linda !! Que moça talentosa, um espetáculo.!!
Qué hermosa interpretación y le deseo lo mejor de los éxitos .
Hello Stephanie.
I am sure your Grandma had a tear in her eye and her heart was bursting with pride. A beautiful birthday present from her grand daughter. Those magical 3:48 would have made her feel her life was fulfilled by an indelible memory.
Just beautiful... you have such incredible control
Hermosa guitarra, hermosa melodía y hermosa la intérprete
Please....what name of guitar?
@@lorram22 Zucali (Daniel Zucali)
Never listen so intense to "yesterday".
Your brand new instrument sounds wonderful, Stephanie and looks so good.
The Arrangement is also wonderful. It is breathtaking how easy it looks like, you play the guitar. I wonder sometimes, where the tone right now is coming from, cause I can't detect any movement on your fingers. It's magical.
Would love to kickstart a future Album, named "Birthday Edition" or something. 😏😏
you are just amazing, thank you so much for sharing your music.
Thank you for giving this to the world
M a listener , but l like when a musician enjoys theirs creations¡
Yesterday, The Beatles; Tomorrow, the World!
Be still my heart.
Your are one of the most gifted and absolutely brilliant musicians the world has to offer. Bravo, once again you have captured my heart🌹❤
My Lord ... if I could play half as well as you (... “I’m not half the man I used to be”). Bravo!
