    I used to be a background pianist for hire back in college (Parties, banquets, that sort of thing) and I dont think I did a single gig without someone requesting Moon River. It was one of my favorites in my bag of tricks.

    So I finally got the confidence to bust out my uke in front of some friends ahwile back and within 5 minutes, wouldnt you know it, someone requested Moon River. So I smiled, reached deep into my bag of tricks……and didnt have it.

    FOR SHAME! I looked here and then scoured the internet looking for a finger style arrangement and couldnt find one so I did the best I could to figure it out on the uke. I think the chords at the end could be crunchier and I’ll continue to tweak (and learn to play it cleanly heh) but this is what I have so far. Any suggestions?

    Also please let me know if this has already been done. I am,admittedly, not very good at computering so if theres a better arrangement out there just point me in that direction and I’ll go learn it. Thanks!

    Love it, kirpuff! You arranged that very well. Love the harmonies that you added. I had to turn the volume up to 100%. Don’t know if that’s my computer or the volume that you recorded but I sure would like to hear it again with the volume “pumped up”.

    Thanks, Rickey! And I think this take is clearer.

    Its amazing how every background noise that you dont notice during the day sounds like a jet engine when you’re trying to record

    I really enjoyed that @kirpuff! I love Moon River, though I’ve only learned Cynthia Lin’s chords/singing version. What do you think of her ending? I would love to learn a fingerstyle arrangement for Moon River if you’re able to share!

    Thanks !I like her version too, she did a great job 🙂 I saw her video when I was searching for a tutorial or some tabs and I liked it but I needed a version that didnt require people finding out what a bad singer I am lol

    Once I figure out how to get the tabs written down I can share 🙂 I’ll put it up here once I do

    What kind of file is it? There seems to be an “Attachments” option with these posts, so I would hope that works? Otherwise if you have the tabs saved in Dropbox or Google Drive then you can probably share the file via a web link.

    Kirpuff, save it as a PDF file then attach to your post. You can also use your snipping tool to save it as a picture file. In Guitar Pro – go to File, and click on ‘Export’ you can then save it as a PDF file or a pic file.
