100 variations Fly Me To The Moon - YouTube

100 variations Fly Me To The Moon - YouTube

One of my favorite jazz tunes.  It's originally 3/4 but Sinatra took it to 4/4

It's nice as a bossa too

I'm trying to learn it well:
Melody in two octaves.  Keeping in in the key of Am
Chords with a little fingerstyle
Chord melody
and more advanced, how to solo over it.

It's not a terribly large number of measures in e.g. the Sinatra version so I bet I can get the chords on a looper, maybe play a bassline over it and then just practice.

Before doing that, though, it's simple enough to make a backing track in Band in a Box, and there are plenty of free backing tracks online.
