Moondance Guitar Lesson - Van Morrisonby Van Morrison

Van's jazziest tune, originally carried by piano, bass, and drums – here it all lives on one acoustic guitar. Fingerpicking captures the piano comping over a steady bass line, shifts to strumming when the progression hits the iv chord, then closes out with the bass riff that wraps the chorus. This is also where Neil shows his ‘hidden pick trick’ – holding the pick in your right hand while fingerpicking, so you can drop into strumming without missing a beat.
