I've been playing about five months now and music has become so integrated into my existence that literally every free second I get to myself is now spent studying, practicing and experimenting with music of all kinds. Just wanted to see what kind of experience others might be having

    First, Seger is the greatest singer songwriter I can think of. I've wanted to learn this song for a while and your tip for the transition made this work for me. I'm referring to the comment that all changes between C and G must go through F and even more than that- hit the CGF transition with one upstroke.

    It's definitely not for a beginner to nail this strumming pattern.
    And there's a D chord between C & E minor. Listen carefully to the song again.
    You can get away playing your C chord pressing on the D note with your pinky on 2nd string 3rd fret before going onto the E minor and the same while on E minor going back to C press on the D note to get you back to C chord.
    If your experienced enough you'll play the full D chord between C & E minor.
    Hope this information helps anybody.
    The song must be played with a full 4 fingered G chord to make it sound authentic so that you hear the droning noise coming from the 5th & 6th top thick strings along with the sweetness of the 1st & 2nd strings both pressed down on the 3rd fret. If you don't master that it won't sound like night moves. As soon as you master that 4 finger G chord and you nail the strumming pattern with capo on 1st fret... The Song needs no introduction as everyone that's ever heard night moves will instantly recognise it.
    Keep spreading the music bro ☺
