Welcome to “Sweet Georgia Brown” for the beginning level, as part of our new “Simple Songs” series where we focus less on the theory and more on learning the notes, fingering, and the arrangement.

This course is divided into 5 lessons, each consisting of a different part of the arrangement. Lesson 1 begins with the intro, and Lessons 2-4 teach the melody and chords of the body of the song. Lesson 5 ends with the full arrangement along with a backing track. You’re going to love this arrangement!

Sweet Georgia Brown, Juat Like Downtown!

This is one Sweet Song! Another hit from the Simple Song Series that brings back memories of the Harlem Globetrotters. Seriously, it is a very fun song to learn and play and this whole series is a great way to get the feel of rich sounding jazz harmonies under your hands! This series has improved my playing as I am learning familiar jazz standards at a level that is basic enough to master, with enough practice. Thanks again, PWJ! Love this series!!

Great Beginner Lesson

It's taken a lot of hours, but I finally got through the tune with the backing track. I wouldn't call it pretty, but it was mostly on track.

Fun Swing Tune

Sweet Georgia Brown is a simple song with lots of repetition, so it's easy to learn. I googled the lyrics and wrote them in so I could sing along. This song will get everyone's feet tapping. A perfect addition to one's repertoire.
