"Summertime", by George Gershwin: a solo ukulele arrangement

By

Andrea Fortuna

“Summertime” is a tune written by George Gershwin in 1934 for the opera “Porgy and Bess”, published in 1935.

This tune is recognized as one of the most covered songs in the history of music, with more than 25,000 covers recorded by groups and solo performers.

My arrangement is (as usual) suitable for beginners players.

With the same fingering, can be played both with a fingerstyle arpeggio and with a more rhythmic strumming.
