Autumn Leaves

Yenne Lee provides an outstanding arrangement and performance. I am not a classical guitarist. I am, however, a life long fan of Johnny Smith who recorded several classical selections with a pick. Yennes arrangement provided me with considerable ideas and applications for this great song. She is an excellent guitarist!

Upon first stumbling across Yenne Lees beautiful performance of Autumn Leaves on YouTube, I was stunned (in a good way). The only downside for me was that my first instinct was to burn my guitar. (Ha ha) To jump ahead a bit, her arrangement is perfectly laid out and after working with it for a while, I have a growing confidence that I CAN play this piece in its entirety. I was pleased to see she made her complete arrangement available. Initially (it would appear) she offered it on her own website but then switched distribution to Music notes. If you order from there, you can play it on the Musicnotes player which is an absolute piece of junk (no fault of the artist). But on to the review of her PDF arrangement, it is brilliant. It is most helpful that all the chords she uses are listed at the top of the score in (more or less) the order in which she plays them in the song. As I mentioned above, although Im not all the way through it yet, I am absolutely sure I will get this piece under my fingers... all thanks to her brilliantly laid out arrangement. In a piece such as this one, it is vitally important for the chords to be accurate fingerings of what is being played, as the majority of the notes being played come directly from the chords. In this regard, she does not disappoint. I wish all arrangements (especially those containing guitar tabs) were so complete and comprehensive as this one. Many thanks to Yenne Lee!
