Level: 2/3
Tuning: DADGAD

"It Ain't Necessarily So" is from 'Porgy and Bess," George Gershwin and Debose Heyward's 1935 opera. Sandy Shalk teaches you a fingerstyle version of this remarkable tune sung by the character Sportin' Life in Porgy and Bess. After working through a jazz chord infused introduction, you'll set up the groove in D minor and learn both the melody and an improvisational section. With some of the chords, you'll combine open strings with 7ths, flat 9s, and more to unveil the magic of DADGAD when it comes to chord voicings.
