Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues is one of the most beautiful songs you can learn on guitar — and it’s more approachable than it sounds. In this version there are no barre chords, just friendly shapes like E minor, D, C, G, and easy takes on F and A.
The real magic is in the rhythm: instead of the usual 4/4, this song moves in a flowing 6/8 feel. Get comfortable with that gentle “one-and-a, two-and-a” pulse and the whole song opens up — perfect for singing along or playing with friends.
