Justin Hayward was one of the main creative forces behind The Moody Blues. He has collaborated on many projects since his Moody days and Forever Autumn started with him taking the lead vocal in the tune that was part of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

Forever Autumn is taken from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, featuring Justin Hayward on vocals. 

This lesson is entirely based on how Justin Hayward performs it.

He plays the song with chord shapes in the key of Am (Capo V), using relatively easy chords, while dressing it up with several embellishments.

The challenging parts are the intro (flatpicking) and the bridge (timing), which we break down in great detail.

Other than that we of course take a look at both hands, and go through the progression and arrangement..
