Moon River Combined Arrangement Guitar Measures 7 & 8

This lesson will teach you how to play measures 7 & 8 of the 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 7 & 8 page to revise the melody for these measures. If you want to impress, let that melody fly! Go to the CHORDS Measures 7 & 8 page to revise the chords for these measures.
