Fly Me To The Moon Chords

Fly Me to the Moon is one of the most famous and recognizable jazz
standards ever. In this lesson, you will learn how to play the chords
and chord progression of this popular song.

In the chord study

below, you will
mostly learn basic
jazz guitar chords
and voicings such
as minor 7, major
7, dominant 7, and
half-diminished 7.

But, you will also

learn chord
voicings with
extensions, such
as minor 9, minor
11, dominant 9,
dominant 7b9,
dominant 7#9,
suspended chords,
6/9 chords, and diminished chords over dominants.

I kept the rhythm as simple as possible, as kind of a pop ballad, so

you can concentrate on smoothly switching between the chords and
getting the voicings under your fingers.

I end the chord study with a typical jazz ending (bar 31).

Instead of the dominant (G7) going to the tonic (Cmaj7), it goes first
to the bVI (Abmaj7) and then the bII (Dbmaj7), before finishing on the
I (C6/9).

This is called modal interchange, the bVI is borrowed from the relative
minor key (Aeolian), and the bII is borrowed from the Phrygian mode.
