  • This is seriously classy. Great arrangement, and great performance - well done!

  • @shnootre Thanks! Worked out great for a ragtime guitar approach.

  • Hi. This is wonderful. I love Little Criminals, and you've done this song justice. What chords exactly are you playing for the opening (main) riff?

  • @apatheticsquirrel Hi, Sorry to be so slow to reply. Dropped D tuning with versions of A7,C/D, G, Bbm, and E in the bass a few times fretted at the second fret with the L thumb, Travis style. Easier to send a file with the opening tab, give me an email address and I'll get it to you.

    There's great note for note tab for 20 of his songs in the Randy Newman for Guitar book, worth the price. I'll be posting Little Criminals and Louisiana soon, and more from the LC LP.

  • @tenn4fab4 I accidentally deleted my post, but I dig Little Criminals.

  • @thefoppa1000 I agree, I've transcribed maybe five or six songs from that LP, more than from any single other one. I also think Trouble In Paradise is awesome and underrated.

  • @lokigg Thanks! I use a dropped D for this one. I have the chart, hopefully there will be a Vol. 2 of Randy Newman For Guitar with this included. I edited the songbook for Alfred Publ., two of my covers here are from the book. The rest are arranged but not published. You might enjoy "Kathleen", too. It's in open G tuning.
