Moon River, melodic fingerstyle acoustic guitar -- cover by ThinkingDog

This melodic classic was written by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, with a beautiful arrangement for solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar by Ed Gerhard. The song first appeared in the 1961 film Breakfast At Tiffany's and won an Oscar for Best Original Song.

I'm playing a Martin 000CXE Black, capo on the 4th fret, low E tuned down to C. Hope you enjoy it ...

Thanks for posting this. I always wanted to learn this piece and you gave me a way to work on it. Thanks a bunch. I'm enjoying playing it now.

@ChitoSanchez - glad to hear the video helps!

Would you recommend the 000CXE?

[ThinkingDog06]

@hybridtheory3 - yes, although these days I usually prefer guitars that have more of a pure "wood" sound (like the Matons and Cole Clarks). The 000CXE has a very good sound in it's own right, nice and bright, and plays pretty easy (although this one gives me occasional problems with the high E slipping off the neck... maybe that's just the way I play causing problems, not sure). I'd recommend it.

This is set on standard tuning with capo at 4th fret right? I LOVE YOUR VIDEO... :D nice guitar. ;)

@cyrus364 - thanks, really appreciate it ... capo at 4th fret, low E tuned down to C, rest is standard. Take care!
