Summertime

My arrangement:

Intro: prog-1

Verse-1: prog-1

prog-2

prog-1b

prog-3

Verse-2: (same as Verse-1, except use chords from 2nd-half of

prog-3 instead of chords from prog-1)

Solo:

Verse-1:

Ending: Repeat last line with prog-3 again, then

repeat last line with prog-3b, very slowly.

(It's nice to add a descending scale between the

F9+6 & E7+5 chords. Try an Fmaj scale from middle-F,

and ending on the low-E.)
