The song Harvest Moon is the title track from the album Harvest Moon, released in October, 1992. The album Harvest Moon is often thought of as a sequel to Harvest due to the fact the album was recorded in Nashville with many of the musicians that played on Harvest including Ben Keith on pedal steel guitar, Kenny Buttrey on drums, and Tim Drummond on bass.

I remember hearing a ton of Gordon Lightfoot as a kid growing up in Canada and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It has a beautiful, haunting sound with an easy repeating chord progression. I demonstrate the chords as well as the rhythm on acoustic guitar in the first video of this three part series. Add in some harmonica in the second video as well as a complete play through in the third to complete the series. If you're looking for a guitar backing track, guitar chords, lyrics, harmonica tabs, you'll find them too. Find it here: Edmund Fitzgerald
Yet another great JJ Cale song, Cocaine. There is a video lesson covering the rhythm guitar part including chords and strumming.
