This is a lesson for beginner & intermediate mandolin players on how to play the standard Jazz song 'Fly Me to the Moon'. Originally written as a waltz by Bart Howard in 1954, it was shifted into 4/4 by Quincy Jones for the now famous Frank Sinatra version in 1964. We'll look at the chords and melody and talk about how some of these Jazz standards may look complicated at first, but you are allowed to simplify a few things to make them more accessible for beginner/intermediate players.

I love all your videos, my friend. Plenty of mandolin teachers on UA-cam, but You're one of the very best. Your free lessons are very well prepared and well taught. I still do your gcd arpeggio exercise ecery single day. That one lesson has done more for me than just about all the lessons ive watched from other teachers. Thanks a million.
Thank u I found ur channel..im an adult learner of mandolin and i wanna learn more…thanks a lot. Keep up the good work👍👍👍
You're an excellent teacher, Mike. Thank you for this.
Nicely explained. I remember discovering something like it when learning a couple of O'Carolan tunes, Planxty fanny power springs to mind, but once you realise the mechanism the idea tends to spread to other tunes.
Very Interesting!
Hi Mike, Great stuff as always. What make model is your Bouzouki?
I like your teaching style!
If you sold a tab you would likely earn a nice fortune
I can't find in the video where you even play the tune straight through Mike. I'd lead with the song so we can know if it's something we'd like to learn.
Hello. Yes you are correct. This is one of my older videos and was still working out the best format. Any videos created in the last 2 years have started with the song so people know what it will sound like. Thanks, Mike
Great lesson Mike. Looking forward to more classic bluegrass songs from you
Love the way you teach
Great song and lesson, more like this please.
A great lesson as always - thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏
Great video as always. I started playing about 6 months ago and your videos have been super helpful, thank you! Torna a Sorriento and the Vivaldi concerto videos/pdfs are some of the main things I've been using to practice. And because I am an avatar of the yawning maw of need that is the internet, I must make a small request. If you ever feel like doing a follow up on the next section of the concerto, that would be amazing. I want to eventually learn the whole thing but my music reading skills are not quite up to the task yet. Anyways, thanks again for all the work that goes into this!
Great lesson Mike, will try this! Love the t-shirt too 🎉
Thanks for this!! ❤
Thank you for this lesson, it was very informative and helpful! I was easily able to learn and transfer the notes onto the mandolin
hi Mike , great tutorial. I can't find how to download any tablature from your UA-cam site. trying to get wild mountain thyme and the godfather tune. HELP !!!!!
Hi Sean ... they are all linked in the text underneath each video.... and if you'r looking at the blog posts on the website, look underneath the video for the phrase "To download the free pdf guide, click here."
Great video, thank you!
don't look up the metallica version
great lesson and pdf print out. thanks!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for posting this.. I knew he had written for the mandolin but didn’t realize there is a whole book! Great playing:)
There's only 4 or 5 tunes in there, but it's worth seeking out. Cheers, Mike
Wow, double wow. I will get some nice licks from this.
Man, that’s great! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Great lesson as always. Thank you!
My pleasure!
thank you very much
You are welcome
Thanks for this video. Tell Jaye (sp?) thanks too. By the way, I like it when she sings. Also, what is a quaver?
Thanks, I will pass the message on. A quaver is the European/classical music name for an 8th note. Cheers! Mike
Man, I like it! Many thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Pliz check out a piece i created named little cowboy ...love your work thanks
Nice work!
i'm just getting back into mandolin after many years away being a workaholic dumdum and boy is the intermediate part delightfully frustrating. trying to take the instrument a bit more seriously this time around and very happy i found your channel. thanks for putting all of this together and helping my shake some rust off
excellent. thank you.
Thanks for this and for your channel
Beautiful ❤❤❤
❤ Beautiful
Sounds sort of like Gravel Walk, doesn't it? :)
Thanks Mike … I am learning a lot from your videos.
I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed Jay’s (sp?) singing.
Thanks for a basic but very important video.
Thanks Mike … as a beginner I understand the snare drum idea behind the chop chord but I haven’t been successful at getting the right sound out of the classic shape. Thanks for presenting these alternatives.
Thanks Mike. I look forward to learning Old Joe Clark.
Thanks Mike. This basic information but it is good to start with good technique rather than try to relearn.
Thanks Mike for this helpful video.
Thanks Mike. I am brand new to the mandolin and I think this video will get me started down a good technique path.
Welcome to the mandolin! You're going to have a great time :) Mike
Thank you for thee lessons but I can't see the link below. 😢
Here you go: drive.google.com/file/d/1ekEJ_DWktw9q56rqLcDUaUQSVJUE9ULj/view?usp=sharing
@@MandoMikeLessons thank you so much for your time
Thank you Mike, a great one to work on.
Thanks as ever. The solo in particular was fun to learn, all those tricky double stops. I despair of getting up to speed though.
Wow thats amazing. We love Willie Nelson. I love watching your videos and have tried joining in but I forget by the next week. one day i will concentrate harder & actually remember the chords. I am a lot better but still a long way to go.
Suggestion: PLAY THE ENTIRE TUNE FIRST, up to speed all the way through. 4 minutes until you get to the tune at all and still at tortoise speed. And scanning through, I guess you never do demonstrate the tune as it would be played...
Yes, that is a correction I have made over the years. If you watch any video from the last 3 years I do exactly as you suggest.... this is one of my early videos and I was still working out the best format. Thanks, Mike
Wow, your editing skills are impressive! 😎
This one never crossed my mind for mando. Thanks for your arrangement and making it accessible.
👍
