Summertime George Gershwin: Based loosly on Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitsgerald .
[Comments]
This (my) arrangement employs chords both at the nut and up the fretboard.
This involves multiple "inversions" for several Chords.
Please feel free to leave out, or move any of the TABBED sections!!
[Strumming]
Wherever you can, use slow, gentle strums, ringing each string.
V v Viv | V v Viv | V v Viv| V = loud down v = quieter,down i = up
.... ,,,, .... ,,,, .... ,,,, 1/8 note beats. inore spaces.
This works for most of the number...
Except e.g.Verses line 2 where its traight 4 strums per bar
