This is a guitar tab for the trumpet solo on the Gershwin song, BUT NOT FOR ME, by Chet
Baker from the Pacific Jazz recording 'Chet Baker Sings'. The solo is over one 32 bar
chorus and I broke down each section under A1 and A2 (16 bars each). I also separated
each phrase with breaks in the tab. I used carrots above glissando notes and placed ghost
notes in parenthesis--these notes are more felt than heard. The song is recorded in the
key of D flat and I included the chord changes after the tab. Feel free to contact me
through my band, The Young Werewolves. Our website is: www.theyoungwerewolves.com. I
hope you enjoy. -Nick Falcon
