Sorry for the audio cutting out briefly a couple of times. I missed that when checking this video, my bad! :( I'll leave it up, unless you guys let me know that something important is missing - in which case I'll fix it and re-upload ✌️ Anyhow, chord sheet is here for those who want it tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/toploader/dancing-in-the-moonlight-chords-632945 Copy and paste it into notepad or similar to print it for free! 👌
I wasn’t sure if the audio went out, or you were just showing us how you you could play increasing softer…all the way to air guitar. 😀 (No big deal on the missing bits, so I’d just leave it as is.)
Ive been going to Open Mic at a place near me off and on for last 7 years. Lately my teenage kids have joined me. My daughter sang Valerie while i played for her. My son just started playing in Octand he already plays and sings awesome - hes done Green Day, Cat Stevens, Bowie, Neil Young.... crazy, proud dad ;)!
I went to play guitar at an open mic night, but didn’t realize it was a comedy open mic. Since people always laugh at my guitar playing, it all worked out just fine, thank you very much.
I’ve been to a few open mic nights over the years. The first time I was petrified but everyone was really supportive. So I kept going back until they stopped doing it there. Since then I’ve been to a few here and there when I hear about them. It’s a really great way of learning new songs. So to anybody who hasn’t been to one but it thinking about it, be brave. You’ll be glad you did.
Starting doing some busking on the weekends a couple of months ago and have gotten a pretty good response from the public. -Did my very first open-mike night last night (went really well), and it's all thanks to you & your wonderful tutorials. Thank you, Andy. -You're my favorite on TH-cam. ❤💋
i wanted to share that i bought a capo when i got my first guitar. I was just so unfamilar with the fret board that i never used the capo. Your video was the first guitar tutorial ive watched that uses the capo and i just wanted to say how easy you made it seem. i had no idea that with the capo at the 3rd fret you could use the same finger shapes as the open strings! i will definitely be practicng this to show off to my friends
Cheers Andy. Another good lesson. I've never done an open mic night as i really can't sing at all. I used to play in the beer garden of my local on Sunday nights with few friends, passing the guitar round and taking turns, but only when it was pretty quiet and i was drunk. Good times.
I always get excited when I see songs posted that is chords I already know. I also play the Ukulele, and that means I can play this song on my Uke too! This also sounds allot like George's Harrison's "My Sweet Lord." So, I need to look into that as well. Thanks for the video
My Favourite version of this song by Toploader is the Stargate Mix which I thought was released at the end of the year 2000 or the start of 2001. ❤Thanks Andy great session!
Great lesson andy,i tried it first time when i was looking for thin lizzy,but yea i sound as you expect a first time on a new song,played it for me older bro,hes a moany git,if i had of played a rec of toploader just acustic,he still would have said,"no i dont know it"then he roars,what do u want,?i said well a bit less abuse when i asked you to listen to my 3rd time playing the chords,he thinks hes the music man but it nags him he cant play an instrment,i can,im still watching your lessons,thanks andy,sorry for the extra😂😂
Thanks for this awesome tutorial Andy!!!! Please do Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby if you ever have the time to do so. Thanks again and sorry for asking.
Andy - this is quite big on using a pick. I’m don’t use a pick, I think because when I was starting out I was taught to finger lick and so honestly a pick just feels so uncomfortable and awkward. I’m relearning again and have an electric now - do I need to start using a pick in order to proceed?
Great tutorial, but give credit where credit is due. This is a King Harvest song (actually Kelly first wrote and recorded it with Buffalongo, but his King Harvest version was the hit that made this song). Toploader's cover is decent, but it's not love the original is obscure. It was pretty close to a top 10 hit in the 1970s.
The guy who wrote this song wrote it from a hospital bed after almost being killed on a tropical island and his girlfriend was raped true story look it up
I heard this live. Unfortunately, Top Loader opened with this song, so everyone walked off straight after. I guess it's a bad move opening with your biggest hit
Fun fact: The writer wrote this song after he and his girlfriend were sleeping overnight on the beach and were nearly beaten to death by rapists and robbers.
I always suggest beginners to "not do the strum patterns count, you know, down up down up up , silliness , play along with a favorite song and strum, otherwise like I’ve seen time and time again ,you very well may end up sounding robotic. Your goal eventually is to sound musical not android-ish.
First of all .. thanks for the cool lesson. You are appreciated.. But Toploader??.. Dancing In The Moonlight ?? It's pretty weak and kind of lame, Compared To the original "King Harvest" version. Just say'n

Love the generation gap reference to Toploader, who I never heard of. Song was originally done by King Harvest in the early 70s.
Great song either by King Harvest or Toploader, but not a nice back story....
@@Mr57blackbeauty Wow. Did not know the backstory until today.
I have been following u since lockdown...all i wanna say is thankyou
i wanted to share that i bought a capo when i got my first guitar. I was just so unfamilar with the fret board that i never used the capo.

Gorgeous playthrough and edit. You're a godsend. Keep up the magic. 💙
King Harvest did this song in 1972. My generation, no Who pun intended 😊
King harvest is the best version and the original
Cheers Andy. Another good lesson. I've never done an open mic night as i really can't sing at all. I used to play in the beer garden of my local on Sunday nights with few friends, passing the guitar round and taking turns, but only when it was pretty quiet and i was drunk. Good times.
who asked
@@swaglife-mi5fh who asked what?
Really helpful and it is uncanny how you released this video the exact day me and my classmates sang karaoke in Barcelona.
Another great song choice Andy, capo on the 3rd fret makes it nice and easy to both play and sing along to
Thanks Andy for another great video.😊
I always get excited when I see songs posted that is chords I already know. I also play the Ukulele, and that means I can play this song on my Uke too! This also sounds allot like George's Harrison's "My Sweet Lord." So, I need to look into that as well.

Such a great song to learn on a lazy afternoon with a Chardonnay!🎸🍷
My Favourite version of this song by Toploader is the Stargate Mix which I thought was released at the end of the year 2000 or the start of 2001. ❤Thanks Andy great session!
thank you for teaching us some wonderful songs, i have recommended u to all my friends n will keep doing
This number really cooks!
When I knew this song it was by King Harvest. I had to look up the Toploader version and it's a really good cover.
Great voice, too.
Crazy teacher of music you are❤
Hello, nice tips Andy. You remember when I said ‘I can’t do this’? Since then I keep on practising, almost getting there.
PS: nice shirt👍
Great lesson andy,i tried it first time when i was looking for thin lizzy,but yea i sound as you expect a first time on a new song,played it for me older bro,hes a moany git,if i had of played a rec of toploader just acustic,he still would have said,"no i dont know it"then he roars,what do u want,?i said well a bit less abuse when i asked you to listen to my 3rd time playing the chords,he thinks hes the music man but it nags him he cant play an instrment,i can,im still watching your lessons,thanks andy,sorry for the extra😂😂
The sound cut out on your video at timestamp 420 🤔 but does come back after 15 sec but cuts out again and then comes back eventually
Confirm!
Great video Andy, what’s the picking sequence at the end?
Ie 4253 please. Thank you
You sing very nicely!
Супер крутецкий! Super cool!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial Andy!!!!
Please do Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby if you ever have the time to do so. Thanks again and sorry for asking.
Great song
Long time no see.😊
Very nice simple chord❤
Wow, that sure was some muting. I couldn't hear a thing, but still, a great lesson will be giving that a go🎸🎸🎸🎸
Amazing tutorial, thank you so much
How does the strumming in 1:13 look like on paper?
Awesome lesson. Thank you! When you put capo on 3rd fret and play those chords, what key are you actually playing/singing in?
1:13 much better strumming rhythm!
But how did he do it? I’m a beginner and I’m curious how the strumming loos pike on paper…
@@louiejacob1574 it's D U, D D U.
D = down
U = up
Plus some palm muting near the bridge.
Привет из России! Мне не понятно ни фига из-за языкового барьера, но лайк за разбор. Мелодия понравилась. Придётся разобраться.
What is the very first chord of the original by King Harvest? It is not the Dm.
Does anyone know where I can find a simple tab for that melody? I'm struggling a bit to follow along
Please can you do a video teaching how to play weekend in paradise by Jamie Webster, love this song
Muito bom, vou praticar agora , show 🤠
Whats the pattern on that fancy mute atrium that you did?
Never heard heard this song before but it sounds great! I'll add it to the list of songs to learn lol
Andy - this is quite big on using a pick. I’m don’t use a pick, I think because when I was starting out I was taught to finger lick and so honestly a pick just feels so uncomfortable and awkward. I’m relearning again and have an electric now - do I need to start using a pick in order to proceed?
Your voice sounds great sir❤
I want to play..... someday!😂
Would there be any chance of any Bad Finger songs? Day after day, No Matter what,baby blue?
Great tutorial, but give credit where credit is due. This is a King Harvest song (actually Kelly first wrote and recorded it with Buffalongo, but his King Harvest version was the hit that made this song). Toploader's cover is decent, but it's not love the original is obscure. It was pretty close to a top 10 hit in the 1970s.
No, "Dancing in the Moonlight" is originally by King Harvest.
Could i play this without a capo
What key would this be?
Sound cut out twice during the video Amdy
Please do a Razorlight or The Kooks song
I’ve unintentionally played this chord progression with similar strumming in the past. Lol
Think the audio got corrupted there was 2 sections where the audio went for a second and came back
TOPLOADER????? absolutely not this is a king harvest song through and through
This song was not written by "Toploader" rather by King Harvest
Yep, sound faded out and back in again during the more intricate strumming options.
Bro King Harvest
Toploader?
Thanks my dude...but that's 5 chords
The guy who wrote this song wrote it from a hospital bed after almost being killed on a tropical island and his girlfriend was raped true story look it up
Not sure why you said it was Thin Lzzy. It was King Harvest
its really similar to riptide by Vance joy
King Harvest
I heard this live. Unfortunately, Top Loader opened with this song, so everyone walked off straight after. I guess it's a bad move opening with your biggest hit
😂
Fun fact: The writer wrote this song after he and his girlfriend were sleeping overnight on the beach and were nearly beaten to death by rapists and robbers.
That was Sherman Kelly, brother of King Harvest (and later Orleans) drummer Wells Kelly.
This isn't top loader. This is king harvest. Top loader covered it.

5-chords song
Sound was going in and out
I thought it was that part of the song danced by Ricardo Milos
Easy 4 chord guitar tutorial. Has 5 chords
First of all .. thanks for the cool lesson. You are appreciated..
But Toploader??.. Dancing In The Moonlight ??
It's pretty weak and kind of lame,
Compared To the original "King Harvest" version.
Just say'n
Love the piss take Gervais wrote on this in Afterlife. It truly is an awful song.
Sounds like bad romance, build a bitch, n everything....🤔
