More about this title

Why we love this

This standard has endured for nearly a century because the melody sits naturally under the fingers and the harmonic movement rewards close listening. Guitar TAB makes the song immediately playable without requiring fluency in standard notation, which opens the door for intermediate players to tackle a piece with real musical substance.

What to expect

Warm, intimate, and conversational. The melody unfolds with the ease of someone speaking directly to you, supported by harmony that shifts gently beneath the surface. Every note feels purposeful, inviting the player to shape the phrases with intention rather than speed.

Who it's for

Intermediate guitarists who read TAB fluently and want to expand beyond pop and rock repertoire into jazz standards. Players looking for repertoire that builds phrasing sensitivity and harmonic awareness will find the melodic and harmonic richness of this song deeply rewarding.

How to get the most out of it

  • Work the melody phrase by phrase before connecting them, paying attention to where the natural breath points fall in the song's arc.
  • Experiment with dynamics across the bridge; the harmonic shift there invites a subtle change in touch or volume that brings out the emotional turn.
  • Reference recordings from different eras (vocal standards, instrumental jazz versions, contemporary interpretations) to find the tempo and phrasing that feels right for your interpretation.

How to use it

Include this in a recital program that bridges jazz and popular music traditions, or pair it with other standards to create a themed evening. It works equally well as a solo piece or as part of a set exploring American songbook classics adapted for guitar.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and playing from guitar TAB with accuracy and musicality
  • Phrasing across longer melodic lines and identifying natural breath points
  • Navigating jazz harmony and understanding how chord changes support melody
  • Developing interpretive choices through tempo, dynamics, and articulation
