Lead sheet with chords and lyrics

Play “love and marriage” on guitar. “Love and Marriage” was introduced by Frank Sinatra in the 1955 television production of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, which aired on Producers’ Showcase. Sinatra went on to record two versions of the song. The first was recorded for Capitol Records on August 15, 1955 and became a major chart hit. (A competing version by Dinah Shore also achieved popularity.) This first recording appeared on the 1956 album This Is Sinatra! The second version was recorded for the Reprise Records album A Man and His Music on October 11, 1965. The Capitol version was later used as the theme song for the 1987–1997 Fox TV sitcom Married… with Children.

Song lesson list

I’ve made lessons for literally hundreds of songs for students over the years- all different types of music, different genres and differing levels of complexity. Check out the song list page linked above and see if there’s something there you’d like to cover. Many of them have a combination of chord and lyric sheets, lead sheets, video lessons and style examples.  If you’re interested in a song you don’t see, let me know!

I love being a guitar teacher. There is something profoundly cool about helping a guitarist find their way on the path we share! Working with beginners- especially adult beginners- is both humbling and fulfilling. I truly enjoy working with people who are either looking to take up this wonderful instrument or improve their playing. My online students get a combination of real-time coaching, personal video lessons and an in-depth assessment from Fathom, the lesson assistant I use. In-person students get the advantage of one-to-one focused attention, of course. We start out with a goal -usually a song you want to learn- and then figure how how to take it where you want to. I am here to help!
