Crazy - by Willie Nelson (Fingerstyle Guitar)

My goal is to upload 100 videos by the end of the year and in order to accomplish this feat I must sacrifice quality ... ok, I never had any to begin with, but I'm lowering my standards to the absolute minimum. Yes, I can play worse than I already have. Just stay tuned while I dig deeper into the hole of medocrity.

This is a Bill Tyers' arrangement and turns out to be harder than I thought. First there are too many bar chords for my left hand to endure. It's exhausted and in pain about half way through. So, it's impossible to make it all the way through without major screw ups. And it needs to be played smoothly ... didn't do that. Steady tempo ... I never do that (I may have some form of palsy). But it's one of my favorite Tyers' arrangements and so, I'm deeply sorry to Bill for butchering his fine work.

Wonderful, thanks so much for sharing. I have been working on my own, but this blows me away. I don't do tab and manuscript is painfully slow for me. I have played for 47 years mostly by ear but can follow by sight. You have helped me with one of my lifelong favorite songs, I am grateful. God bless!

@pgavery58 You are welcome. Bill Tyers has done some great arrangements. Unfortunately, it appears the copyright police have forced him to remove all his arrangements of contemporary music. Someday they'll get me too I reckon.

nice job; I would play it slightly faster, a bit more "punchy" ; Randal

@burnside994 I think this is the first time anyone has suggested I played something too slow. Most of my videos are played way too fast. Thanks for the comment, though.

Truly inspirational. One of my favorite Willie Nelson tunes. Really magic man!

Yeah! Sub-mediocrity rules!

Actually, that was pretty good.

I should have a guitar in a few more days. I don't think I'll reach your level, but I should be joining everyone soon.
