Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin - Guitar Lesson - with flute solo

[samson666]

hi mate..is the there a tab for the solo anywhere at all..

Nice work. What made Nights In White Satin really stand out was the Moody Blues used a Mellotron , which really gives that signature late 60's-early 70's sound. I've seen people try to duplicate that late 60's Mellotron sound with modern keyboard synthesizers and it just doesn't sound the same. One of the reasons why I love old music from 50 and 40 years ago, today's modern instruments and especially recording equipment just sound different and almost impossible to duplicate.

In the second to last 3-note figure you're only playing one note. The missing 2 notes add a lot to the melody, IMHO.

yeah thanks for not taking us though the solo in little segments or note by note.

Sure. I had to look to see which one it was... That's my Taylor 810. Nice guitar. My first new high end guitar. Taylors play like a dream, but have a tendancy to crack in the winter. They build them as though we all live in rain forests :o) The other cases in that room are for my Martin (which I got when my Taylor 955 cracked) and one of my Les Pauls. Things go in the cases not because of some honor, but just because I had three of those cases made.

Can you tell us about the guitar in the glass case behind you? Nice effect with the GT-6.

hey Steve,

since you've done a great job on some Graham Nash songs, any chance you could do Lady Of The Island? Do you know if it is in an altenate tuning?

p.s. I have really enjoyed your videos.

Keep It Up!

[stevertr]

Sure...

That is in a bizarre tuning...

I"ll do that for you though...it's easy once you have the tuning right....

[martinaxman]

That's almost eery! LOL. Just got in from clearing a foot of snow off my huge dirveway in CT. Good job. First time I heard this live was in New Haven Colliseum. Great band. Great tune. Thanks for the tutorial.
