Moon River Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 37 & 38

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 37 & 38 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 37 & 38 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 37 & 38 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

 

Video Script:

for the first note in the first of these two measures, place the

2nd finger, on the 3rd string, 2nd fret

followed by the

5th string open

and then the

1st finger, on the 4th string, 2nd fret

and the

2nd finger, on the 3rd string, 2nd fret

2nd string open

1st string open

and finally,

the 4th finger, on the 1st string, 5th fret

This arrangement could as easily sit with the title of  “Jazz Chords Lesson” or “Classical Guitar Lesson” and be interesting to players from both genres.
