Harvest Moon | TAB


Played in drop D tuning. we are dealing with two chord riffs which both utilize that low open D string.

The first chord riff is played during the intro and instrumental sections as well as during verses 2 and 4. Here it is using TAB:

Harvest Moon TAB, riff 1.

The second riff is played further down the neck, this is played during verses 1 and 3. It’s difficult to explain as we start with a D5, but once repeated the full D is held, follow the TAB and you’ll get it.

Harvest Moon TAB, riff 2.

The chorus is just a G/A, followed by an A. Don’t forget to drop your low E to a D, use my chromatic guitar tuner.
