[G] Okay, [N] here is How High the Moon.
And you probably have heard the Les Paul Mary Ford version and everybody else, you know, do that.
I mean, that's a great, it's a fun song to play.
Now, it's one of those kind of songs that you could play it really up-tempo and it's not that hard to blow over, to solo over.
So your improv with this is very good, but is very easy, not easy, nothing is easy, but it's, you know, doable.
I'll tell you what, this lesson though, what we're going to do is I'm going to show you the melody, harmonized melody, which I played.
I'm going to give you some track to practice that with and I want you to get this tune down, the melody.
You might take a listen to the words so you can really interpret the melody the way you want.
And then what we're going to do is go through a few other lessons on improv over the song.
And pick out target notes, pick out key centers and all that good stuff.
And we'll also do some superimposing of chords.
So there's a lot of things we can do with the improv of this song.
So one thing about it, when you have a song that's up-tempo, you don't have the tendency to double time on it.
So you can just play nice, melodic lines without that urge to really [Gm] double time.
So that means it's actually a little easier to play, believe it or not.
But anyway, let's get into this lesson with the chord melody.

It's a pretty easy song.
Here we go.
