Moon River Guitar Chords Measures 17 & 18

This lesson will teach you how to play the chords in measures 17 & 18 of Moon River. To listen to the Chord Tab for the whole song, go to the CHORDS TAB video. You can learn the melody for measures 17 & 18 of the tune in the MELODY Measures 17 & 18 page. If you’ve already learned the melody and the chords to measures 17 & 18 of the tune, why not try the COMBINED ARRANGEMENT Measures 17 & 18 which combines the melody of the tune with notes from the supporting chords for a solo guitar performance.
