Here's a quick look at How High the Moon.
I'm going to play the arrangement as it's written.
The thing with my arrangements [A] is I write them out [Bb] when I [Ab] create them.
Either make them up [Gb] or I [Ab] copy other people's arrangements
[Gm] [Ab]
[G] or I maybe take part [G] of another arrangement.
[A] Anyways, often what I've created in the beginning
[Ab] is what I start with
but then over time as I get more comfortable with the tune
it evolves into something slightly different.
So I'm going to play it as written but this isn't
It's somewhat of an exercise for me because I have to represent it as it is on the paper.
But here it is as it is on the paper.

[Bb] [D] [Cm]

There's some passing [Bb] stuff.

[A] [C] [Gm]
[E] [C] [Am]
[C] [Am] [D]
[Abm] [B] [Ab]
[G] [N]
[Bb] When we have this 6th string root [Gb] dominant [A] 9sus4 like the first [D] chord.
[A]
[G] You could flat the 9 too.
This note right here you could play it a half step lower.
First string you have dominant [Ab] 9, I'm sorry dominant 7sus4 flat [D] 9.
[Cm] It's rather pretty if I [Ab] did that instead.
On the first line here we've [Am] got [Ab] Db9sus4 and then at the end of that line we have C9sus4.
Wherever that chord occurs [Bb] you
[Gb] [E] [C] could instead of playing like D9sus4 you [Cm] could
[Bb] [A]

[D] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [C] Here on the third line Am7 I have a [A] bass note in it.
I have it written like [Am] this.
[B] Sometimes I play it just as on the inner 4 [E] strings.
[C] Sometimes I play that Am7 like [Gb] that but if I want the bass note [Am] I might
[F]
Here [A] after the first ending [Em] we
[C] [Ab] come to A half diminished which [Abm] shows a bass note.
[A] Sometimes I'll leave that out.
If I want to hear the bass note [Eb] here's the end of the second line [Gm] Ebmaj7.
[Am]
[F] There's hearing the bass [Eb] note on the A.
Sometimes [Eb] I'll leave it out.
Ebmaj7.
[Em]
It's a little [Bbm] bit more balanced that way but maybe [Eb]
[Ab] depending on
[Gm] [A]
[E] On the [G] [Bb]
third line Am7 I'll put the bass in [Am] C9sus4.
[Gb] [Bm] [Bb]
[E] [Am] [B]
[G] It [N] starts at the beginning [Cm] [Gb]
here and then the first time you take the first ending,
play to the repeat [B] sign, [Gb]
go here [G] and then jump down
