Guilty

This lovely old song from the late 20s was written by Gus Kahn, Harry Akst and Richard A. Whiting, and was recorded by Ruth Etting - the "Radio Sweetheart" in 1931. I've usually played this in jazz groups in the key of Bb, but it's easier to sing in F - which is what I've pitched it in here. I've added a second vocal as the original balance between vocal and guitar was a little vocal-light...

I've put backing music, tabs and chords for this at:

Oh, what a lovely song this is, your playing and singing is so right, I love this and I like the fact that you are obviously liking this yourself as you play and sing. Thanks, and greetings from England.

I love this song, it's so romantic. I first heard it sung by Mel Torme and some women doing some hot backing similar to the Andrews Sisters.

I've always wanted to learn this one. awesome!

Wil...Nice job...as usual--have not heard you sing much on your others, so keep it up...we can say we knew you before you hit it BIG-TIME. The Martin is nice too.

I love it, Will! Going to try and learn this now :)
