The melody of It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) by Duke Ellington runs 247 notes across 46 bars, 2:19 long in Eb at 160 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
