Biography:
Fats Waller (Thomas Wright Waller, May 21, 1904 – December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, singer, and comedic entertainer. His greatest success came with "Fats Waller & his Rhythm".
Thomas Wright Waller was the youngest of four children, born in New York to Adeline Locket Waller and Reverend Edward Martin Waller. He started playing the piano when he was six and graduated to the organ of his father's church four years later.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This standard song played in the key of C and adding some optional chords
and new techniques that will be challenging for the novice, but may be within
reach with practice, and will be rewarding. My intent is to make this standard song
accessible to the novice. Palm muting can be used liberally through out the tune,
while playing at a relaxed tempo.

(The intro is optional, but adds a lot to the song. The G is played as an up rake,
concentrating on strings 2-6.)

Again, as in the intro, the G chord sounds good as an uprake throught the verse.

Basic chords, with the exception of the Eb9+5 chord. Two shapes are shown
with the first shape being the easier to play and the second shape being
more difficult to reach, but much better tonally. Either way, these chords
are plucked as single notes from the lowest note to the highest note while
singing the words "be - lieve me". This is optional and could be played
as a strummed G7, but the Eb9+5 adds interest, and the plucked notes while
singing is probably something new for novice level players.
