The melody of The Darktown Strutters’ Ball by Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers runs 84 notes across 19 bars, 0:48 long in C at 120 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, 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.
