    Default It's Only A Paper Moon: Mandolin Sheet music and song breakdown

    Hey all,

    I wrote up a post about one of my favorite jazz tunes, It's Only A Paper Moon. It's a fun rhythm changes type tune and great for a swing jam setting. My chart has 4 variations on it plus some double stop ideas for chords. The double stops likely aren't something you'd play straight through - but good to pepper in here and there.

    Here's the full chart - https://mattcbruno.com/2022/08/mando...-a-paper-moon/

    Happy Picking!

    One of my wife’s favorites, especially when sung by the Mills Brothers. Thanks much for this!
