“Over the Rainbow” is probably one of the most well-known melodies of the 20th century. To arrange the song for the octave mandolin, Joe listened to versions by Judy Garland, Willie Nelson, Paul Motian, and others. It’s a diatonic melody, but there are a few ways to harmonize it. Joe plays it in the key of G, and shows you some common harmonizations. He walks you through the A parts in this video.
