This lesson will teach you how to play measures 35 & 36 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 35 & 36 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 35 & 36 page to revise the chords for these measures.
