Paul Simon - Still Crazy Solo DADGAD Arrangement
Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2021 6:10 pm
Continuing our Paul Simon thread, today we have Doug Young's DADGAD arrangement of Still Crazy After All These Years.
Still Crazy After All These Years was the title track of Paul Simon’s album by the same name. The song’s bluesy, gospel vibe definitely creates a mood. In this lesson, we’ll look at an arrangement for solo fingerstyle guitar in DADGAD tuning. This tune is a bit more complex harmonically than many pop tunes, with multiple modulations and some jazz-tinged chords. We’ll talk through the arrangement, but also spend quite a lot of time on the arranging process, challenges and tips for things to consider in creating your own arrangements.
