This is NOT a guitar lesson on how to play Moon River. It is a a master playing one of my favorite songs in a way that I will never be able to do.

Usually he's at about 2 to 100. I absolutely love this arrangement, but from the comments, I think that some people are put off by his creative license.

The only lesson to be learnt here is, if you're old enough to understand and appreciate what's being played on this clip, you're too old to think about playing the way TE does. To get to HIS standard you need to start with the same dedication & drive at about the same age as he, 4 years old. Even then the chances are you won't get to his standard. Good luck.

Bill Seper I did as you suggested and looked at Sandra's arrangement. it's very nice and shows some real skill in arranging, and in harmonics. and she's so young! What a bright future she has. But for me, I really appreciate Tommy's creativeness with this piece. I appreciate that he adds some interesting chords, transitions, timing, and of course a whole variety of impeccable guitar technique. Sandra plays it just a little too straight for my taste. but thanks for pointing me to a shiny new Guitar Star.

I noticed a few negative nancies on here saying it's impossible to play like this. To all my guitarist friends out there, this is is all do-able no matter what any one says if you believe in yourself. The only part that would give me trouble to play in this is the sweeps, and of course memorizing such a masterful arrangement is the hardest task of all.
