Description

"I Ain't Got Nobody" by Spencer Williams is a classic public domain jazz standard written in 1915. This song has been covered by many blues and jazz performers. This is a two guitar arrangement of a medium tempo jazz standard. Guitar 1 is a rhythm guitar part playing the chord progression. Guitar 2 is a lead guitar part playing the single note melody of the song. Guitar 2 also plays a solo that is based on the melody with embellishments. This is a great opportunity to learn how to use some extended harmony chords in a song setting, how to learn to embellish a melody with some typical lead guitar vocabulary in an early jazz style.
