Lockdown Licks no. 363. “Moonlight Serenade” by Glenn Miller & his Orchestra. Signature melody style played on a Junior guitar into a NUX M8 amp set to clean with reverb. Using a combination of partial chords with vibrato & single notes to follow the melody. On a single guitar this much loved and world famous melody is fun. Fun too, to play along with the fantastic full orchestra with the great saxophones, clarinets,swing percussion & other instruments on the original recordings.

Here’s a link to “In The Mood” another Glen Miller melody riff on guitar…. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?stor… “Moonlight Serenade” is an American swing ballad composed by Glenn Miller with subsequent lyrics by Mitchell Parish. It was an immediate phenomenon when released in May 1939 as an instrumental arrangement, though it had been adopted and performed as Miller’s signature tune as early as 1938, even before it had been given the name “Moonlight Serenade”. In 1991, Miller’s recording of “Moonlight Serenade” was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
