What a Wonderful World - Easy Jazz Guitar Chord Melody Arrangement

What a Wonderful World was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and was recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1967. It was a hit in the UK, but not in the US because Larry Newton (the president of ABC Records) didn't promote the song because he didn't like it.

In this lesson, you will learn an easy chord melody arrangement of What a Wonderful World.

I really like this guy, because he just starts to play this wonderful tune without all the talking.

Thank you for this! It sounded pretty easy at first, but once I started to learn it I realized this is very challenging! This is great.

Thanks for this lovely arrangement. Arpeggios really work magic in constructing a solo guitar rendition.

Everything you've been putting up has been gold. Have been working on the sentimental mood every day. This is like a counter to that- perfect chord melody. Your timing is absolutely incredible. Something you developed or just were born with? Thanks for all that you share.

Nice to see playable chords not 5 & 6 fret stretches. I'm going to get into these.
