Here’s a finger-style chord melody lesson, this time of one of my favorite standards associated with the swing era: Stompin’ at the Savoy. It’s a timeless standard that first became a hit by the Benny Goodman Orchestra way back in 1936. And it just so happens that it really works great as a solo piece on guitar!

Featured in the song’s melody is a very cool “harp style” major 6th arpeggio which I teach you to play by combining open and fretted strings! The video features both regular notation and tab.

Your contribution is much appreciated, as it helps support the site and allows me to keep investing the long hours required to produce these lessons. The download includes: a PDF of the transcription with both regular notation and TAB, an MP3 of the arrangement, a Band in a Box File and a Midi File.
