“Ain’t Misbehavin” (Fats Waller) | Adam Rafferty – Fingerstyle Guitar

By Adam Rafferty Leave a Comment

I hope you enjoy this fingerstyle guitar version of the Fats Waller classic – “Ain’t Misbehavin.”

Why Did I Pick A Fingerstyle Guitar Version of Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin”

One of my students on StudyWithAdam.com suggested this tune. I’ve enjoyed it my whole life, so I figured why not give it a go! I first heard this tune on Earl Klugh’s “Nightsongs” album (solo guitar version) when I was about 12 years old. In case you are curious, to prep & learn for this arrangement, I listened to the following versions on YouTube.

  • Earl Klugh
  • Joe Pass
  • Fats Waller
  • Sarah Vaughan
  • Sonny Stitt
  • Jimmy Smith
  • Pat Donahue

You’ll also hear some Thelonious Monk inspired harmonies!
