    And another version, close to the Real Book, but with chord extensions.

    raymb1,

    I very much like the second four bars in your version.

    Cheers,

    A Foggy Day-Upper Structures-R.Scher - George Gershwin

    My take on upper structure RH triads for harmonic and melodic exploration of the tune. It provides me with a "what to do" for soloing.

    Default Problem with the form of A Foggy Day

    A Foggy Day - George Gershwin

    I'm trying to do the form of A Foggy Day from Frank Sinatra's version in Songs for Young Lovers. I've tried many things with codas but nothing works the way I want it to and I can't figure out the solution. Basically, the form I want would go as follows: VABACAC, skipping the first volta the second time the form is played.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I think this will play VABACAC as you intend.

    A Foggy Day (Sinatra) - George Gershwin

    I added a Segno and DS al 2nd. To not play the turnaround the final time, I placed the END command in the penultimate measure.
