The Fender Guitar Method - Au Clair De La Lune - Lesson 24

So I originally had never heard of this song "Au Clair De La Lune" mainly because it is a french name and I don't speak french.  According to Rusty Shackleford, who commented on my last entry, the song means in english "By Moonlight".  Since Rusty Shackleford speaks french, I believe him.

This is a 2 part song meaning that one guitar player is supposed to play the top line and the other is supposed to play the bottom.  Since it is just me, I get to make 2 videos playing each part individually. 

I also had to google what the song is supposed to sound like since I had no clue what the song was.  So this song used the first, second, and third string.  I am going to present my videos with a youtube video of someone else playing the song right after my video.  So enjoy the french song.... most non french people have probably never heard of.

Here are the notes.....



Here is the video of me playing Part 1 of Au Clair De La Lune.
