Well, if you go by the Real Book chart (I haven't searched out the original sheet music yet) the way that first line is played as 2 bars of quarters and a whole note is kinda...boring.
I much prefer what I hear Nat do...and Trane...and Willie...

I just learned Willie's version by ear. Nice simple chords. This will be the basis of my take.
This song really is THAT good. Gonna keep it in G, I think that's a good key for guitar (and for my voice on this one...not that you're gonna hear me sing!)

Learning Clifford Browns version. Man this head requires time I still cannot sing it. I get lost after about 12 bars.

Just melody so far, keeping it simple and folky, seems to me as i listen to more and more versions of this tune on the YT those who attempt to "hip it up" miss the point entirely.
Anyway, I'll post another in a week or so, I'm completely enamored with this tune.

First to say, with all the respect to M-Ster, I preferred the old format of the thread, where we were given the chart to work from. What I did not like then, was the fact that very few people actually worked from it, but whatever.
After reading all previous posts, I simply have to find that Realbook version and play it as close to "as written" as possible.
Edit: In fact, I will not, because Hatim already did it.Last edited by Vladan; 03-07-2017 at 09:37 AM.

I'm finding more and more to quickly internalize a song, it's better if I learn it by ear. The process is longer, but by the time I'm done, I actually "know" the tune.

Here is mine with impro.
I keep hearing that old swing in the song so I played my old acoustic (and played lots of triads).
p.s. M-ster, I hope you realise what an effect you have on us. Me, waking up in the middle of the night for a p and...there's is Stardust again in my head.

The RB chart based on someone's transcription of Coltrane's version is flakey. Although the original chart is in D, Dick Hyman, the NRB and the Colorado Cookbook all have lead sheets in Db, which actually lays pretty well on guitar. All three have very similar harmonies, the main differences being enharmonic spellings. Ralph Patt gives a simpler harmonization in C without the intro (verse).
Here's how I analysed it based on the Colorado changes:
VERSE:
I | IV7 | III7 | VI7 | ii / V7 | iii / vi | bv / VII7 | ii / V7 |
I | IV7 | III7 | VI7 | ii / V7 | iii / vi | ii / V7 | I / I7 |
REFRAIN:
||: IV | IV | iv(maj7) | iv / bVII7 | I | iii / VI7 | ii / VI7 | ii |
(1st :) V7 | ii / V7 | I / ii | iii / vi | II7 | vi / II7 | V7 / ii | V7 / bV7 | (d.c.)
(2nd:) iv | bVII7 | I / vi | iii / VI7 | ii | V7 | I | (v / I7) :||

Finally, I got to play it. Basic scatch, a single chorus of melody, unplugged Squier Tele, with severe heavy noise reduction and EQ ...

I really liked that! No overdrive but we can't have everything :-)
Btw, what's the black strip covering?

Like your take a lot Vladan! Nice sense of space, and some blusiness...
Finally got around to the verse. Next step is actually blowing on it:

Don't wory, the next time I play plugged in I'll make it distorted. I even tried it with this one, but baackground noise made me abandon the "project".
Black strip is for some misery to remain a mystery (unless it's seen on some other clips?).
