Moon River Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 31 & 32

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 31 & 32 of the combined arrangement solo guitar version of Moon River. To listen to the 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 31 & 32 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 31 & 32 page to revise the chords for these measures.

**NOTE**  the full video for this Moon River Combined Arrangement is only available in Fingerpicking’s  “BEYOND TABS” guitar course. CLICK HERE to join
