This song was written and performed by English musician <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Oldfield\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mike Oldfield<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It was released as a single in 1983 and is part of the album <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Crises_(Mike_Oldfield_album)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crises<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The fact that we are talking about this song 37 years after it was released is quite impressive. It is still a favorite among bonfire lovers and remains Oldfiled\u2019s biggest hit to date. Interestingly, \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d became a hit on the voice of Scottish singer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maggie_Reilly\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maggie Reilly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a collaborator of Oldfield. So let\u2019s dig into the nooks and crannies of this timeless hit. Here is how to play \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d on guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-e80qhyovona\" style=\"max-width:480px;\" class=\"arve\">\n\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:405\/304\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:75.061728%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore lazyload\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-e80qhyovona\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/e80qhyovOnA?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"360.2962962963\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/e80qhyovOnA?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"480\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.roadiemusic.com\\\/blog\\\/how-to-play-moonlight-shadow-on-guitar\\\/#arve-youtube-e80qhyovona\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\\/embed\\\/e80qhyovOnA?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harmony<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When learning a new song, the best place to start is usually the chords. They make up the harmony. In other words, the group of chords used in a song determine its harmony and key. And it can be quite simple, very complicated, or anywhere in between those two extremes. But fear not, as \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d uses very simple chords. Perhaps that simplicity is precisely part of the reason it became a classic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The harmony of \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d is composed of the following chords: E, B, C#m, A, B. That is it. If you can play those chords, then you can play the song. Can\u2019t play them yet? Stay with me and read carefully. If you practice daily, you will be able to play \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d in 14 days, give or take. But you have to practice at least 15 minutes daily. Do we have a deal?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Form<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The form of the song refers to what sections are played, how many times, and in what order. The form of \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d starts out with an intro (E, B, C#m, A, B), where the all chords are played for four beats, except the C#m and A (which are only played for two beats). Just strum each chord four times downwards (and two-beat downwards for the ones that last two beats). Then we move on to the verse (C#min, A, B, E, B). Here too, all chords are played for four beats, except the E and B, which are only two beats. We then move into the bridge section (A, B, C#m, A, and B). Finally, there is a guitar solo which follows the chords of the verse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be intimidated\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The form may sound a bit complicated when you read it. But in reality, it is deceptively simple. This is because each section uses the same chords from the intro, but with slight alterations in their order. This is done to add contrast among sections, but still make it sound like it belongs in the same song. Once you start practicing \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d, you will realize that it is a very simple song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadiemusic.com\/blog\/how-to-play-down-by-the-river-by-milky-chance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many great songs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can learn with just a few simple chords and a minimum of practice. \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d is one of them. I\u2019d like to take this moment to drastically state what I\u2019ve hinted at during this article: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadiemusic.com\/blog\/why-practice-with-a-metronome-4-reasons-to-try-it-out\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you have to practice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A \u201cminimum of practice\u201d is not the same as a \u201cno practice\u201d. As a matter of fact, they are diametrically opposite. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of what your goals are on the guitar, you will have to practice. That\u2019s true even if you have no goals on the guitar. I know, I know\u2026 the word \u201cpractice\u201d intimidates you. Let me help you out. How about you just \u201cplay\u201d the guitar a few minutes a day, every day? Better huh? Don\u2019t overthink. Just pick up your guitar, make sure it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadiemusic.com\/roadie3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in tune<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and play it daily. I know that if you do that, you will know how to play \u201cMoonlight Shadow\u201d in just a few days.
