Hello friends,
Welcome back to Swift Guitar Lessons for another by request song tutorial. In today’s session, we’ll break down two distinct approaches to playing the timeless Frank Sinatra classic, "Fly Me to the Moon” written by Bart Howard. First, we’ll dive into a chord melody arrangement, perfect for solo guitar performances. You’ll learn how to combine the tunes iconic melody with rich jazz chords and lead embellishments.

Next, we’ll shift gears to explore the rhythm guitar accompaniment version, breaking down the verse and chorus progressions and a swinging “comping” strumming technique. By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a solid grasp on both approaches, allowing you to perform "Fly Me to the Moon" in a versatile and creative way, whether you’re playing solo or as part of a group. Let’s get started!
