Alone Together was composed by Arthur Schwartz in 1932 and featured in the Broadway musical Flying Colors. In this lesson, you will learn how to play the melody mixed with chords.
Alone Together has a bit of an unusual form because it has a length of 44 bars instead of 32 as is usual with AABA standards (the first two A sections are 14 bars long instead of 8).
Recommended Listening:
- Miles Davis – Blue Moods (1955)
- Chet Baker – Chet (1959)
- Grant Green – Green Street (1961)
- Paul Desmond (w Jim Hall) – Take Ten (1963)

Excellent arrangement and performance Maestro!!…Thank you so much for shearing this beautiful music.
A really well arranged swinging guitar version of Alone Together – Thankyou very much Dirk!
What a wonderful standard. Nice job, Dirk👏😁. I was just getting into the solo and it faded away. Maybe you’ll have a clip of what you played elsewhere/later. There are so many approaches to this tune, nice to have one that doesn’t have crazy stretches😁. Thanks!
Great Job! it’s seams easy, but it’s a lot of hours to explore and play. Many thanks Dirk for your high quality documents. Gil
Another beautiful arrangement. I just wish you had left a little bit more of the solo so the exercise could be both a chord-melody as well as a solo exercise. Many thanks.
Hey Dirk, I real like the arrangement Alone Together a great dance song at the Cotton Club
