Moon River Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 3 & 4

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 3 & 4 of the Solo Guitar version of Moon River. To listen to the Solo Guitar Tab for the whole song, go to the GUITAR Tab video. An essential part of any performance of a tune is that the melodic line should be heard clearly above the accompanying notes. Go to the MELODY Measures 3 & 4 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 3 & 4 page to revise the chords for these measures.
