_ _ _ _ Hey there.
Well, the date today is September _ 27th, _ _ 2012.
You've got to think about what
year it is.
Andy Williams just passed away two days ago on the 25th.
I thought, you know,
[E] how [Ab] appropriate, let's do one of his songs, the songs that he is noted for.
So, you know,
in the 60s, every once in a while I'd watch Andy Williams, but I was a [Bb] rocker.
You know,
we were rocking and rolling.
But I could always appreciate Andy Williams' voice.
I thought he was just a wonderful singer.
He seemed like just a great guy.
And I loved the lush arrangements.
So even though, you know, _ we were rocking out and all that good
stuff, but I could always appreciate his [Gm] talent.
[Ab] In Moon River, what a beautiful song.
Hank
Mancini.
So Andy, [Bb] you know, I guess is noted for it, but it was Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey
Hepburn actually doing the song.
_ So _ this arrangement, it's funny, the music is hard to find,
but this [Gb] arrangement [Ab] is very accessible, I think.
I think you'll have a good time with this.
Audiences love this song.
There's no doubt about it.
[Gm] It's a song that you [Bb] can play very freely,
as well as you've got to have some time with it.
[Gm] But, you know, you don't have [Ab] to play it as a
um-pa-pa-um kind of thing.
So you can play it with a lot of [C] expression.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[Dm] _ You have to think,
though.
[E] You still have to think.
But anyway, [Ab] so you can emote with it.
You know, you can play it
very tenderly or whatever.
Play it up, whatever you want to do.
I think it's a nice little
arrangement.
Again, it's very accessible.
I think a lot of guys will be able to do this with not too
practice. _
So let's just get into it.
_ I've only played it through once here.
I've got two different
endings [A] on it.
I just played the second [Bb] ending for the song, but we do have another ending.
_ And so you can play it through twice.
_ _ _ Anyway, let's just get into it, learn the moves, and at
the very end, we'll talk a little bit more about what you can do to stretch out this song.
All right, let's get into it.
We're starting off right here with a [C] C major 7 chord.
That's your
stock [Em]
C major 7 chord.
[C] _ And what I'm going to do is this [Cm] hand is going to grab the fifth string
[C] 3 2 1. _
_ [Ab] And then we're going to do a pick.
You're going to go [C] 1 and 2 [Em] and 3.
So right
here.
So it's 1 and 2 and 3.
There's our first measure.
_ _ _ _ Next, we're going to come up to [Bb] an A
minor 11.
[A] Looks like this.
Here we are on the seventh fret, 9.
Seventh fret, fourth [E] string.
_ _ [Gm]
And then we're going to grab a bass note here.
So we've [Bb] got these three, even though I'm fingering
this note here, I'm not going to initially [A] play it.
_ [Gm] So I've got [Ab] this fifth string 3 2 1.
[A] _ _
[A] And then
I'm going to bar across here and grab those like that.
_ So it's 1 2 _ and 3 and. _ _
_ _ _ _ So the first two
measures look like [Em] this.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Next, we're going to play this funny sounding chord.
It's a G [Gm] chord
[F] triad with an F bass.
It's an F major 7 with a sharp 11. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
