Jazz guitarist Vince Lewis continues his JGT Arrangement Series with “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”.


Premiering in 1937 in the Movie “Shall We Dance” starring Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers.  “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” was written by George and Ira Gershwin, and George dies two months after the release of the film.  It was nominated for Best Song of the Year at the 1937 Oscars.

This tune is most popularly played at a medium tempo, and has some quicker chord movements in the turn arounds, so feel free to play single notes if you have any issues moving through those sections.
