Slip Slidin' Away by Paul Simon

[TGNeil]

Hi TGers,

Today we have Paul Simon's Slip Slidin' Away. A good song for beginning strummers.

Slip Slidin' Away is a song Paul Simon wrote and recorded in 1975 for his third solo album Still Crazy After All These Years, although it was cut from the album and held until 1977 when it was added to his Greatest Hits, Etc. It has become one of his favorites with audiences at many of his live performances.

The song is strummed with a swing feel and uses just a few chords in the key of G, making it quite accessible to beginning guitar players. The short lesson goes over the chords, progression, and arrangement, as well as going into the few embellishments that have evolved in Paul's solo performances over the years.

Thanks Neil. I’ll definitely be taking a look at this when I get the chance. Even the preview has lots of good info about how to play it. It looks like fun and sounds great.

Thanks for the lesson Neil. And hi!
