Jobim – Yes!
Perhaps guitar players tend to learn songs that are more out of the blues-based folk/rock/country tradition, which happen to be (mostly) simpler melodically than piano-based standards,
There are exceptions – speaking of great melodists, didn’t Jobim write on guitar? – but you make an interesting point; thanks!

I know! Really unique.
Thanks, Tres.
Tony

Thank you, Tom! Jeff Franzel also mentioned Jerome Kern in this context; another master.
Best wishes,
Tony

You can also add just about any song by Antonio Carlos Jobim to this conversation.

An interesting sidebar, when you consider the list of the greatest melody writers of popular song, something like 9 out of 10 composed on the piano. I’m not sure what explains that. Is the piano a richer instrument, more conducive to composing? Or are piano composers generally better trained, whereas songwriters on the guitar tend to be more self-taught? Hard to say. But this has consistently been true for the last hundred years of popular song.

Here’s a couple of songs to consider by Jerome Kern: “I’m Old Fashioned” and “All The Things You Are.” Like “Overjoyed”, they have a fluid musical invention that seems so natural, so effortless, yet they really floor you when you look under the hood.
