Hey friends! Super excited to share my new lesson for Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, as played by Willie Nelson on his 1975 album Red Headed Stranger. I've gotten lots of requests for this one over the last few years - and am so happy to have this lesson wrapped up & available.
I'll start off teaching the simplest way to play this song (using the E, A, and B7 chords). Then, I'll walk through step-by-step the various ways you can spice things up to capture Willie's guitar playing vibe: alternating bass notes, walk-ups & walk-downs, and more. In my extended version of the lesson (below), I'll even show a simplified way to play the solo - which I had a blast learning over the past week. Please check it out, and I hope you enjoy!

The structure you explain is 100% important for anyone starting to play or playing, the snare falls on the 2nd and 4th count and the downstrumm is right in his place. Any folk/country song will sound good, and it's a very good tool to figure out new songs. Good instructive lesson!!

Great video, I'm just curious if I use the D major and A7 for the main chords, can I use the same walk ups and walk downs as you posted or would it require to different walks, hope you understand the question thanks

At about 17:25 he shows an easier version of playing the bridge (solo?), but there needs to be another person or machine playing the rhythm. I wonder if he has a way to play this bridge while also keeping the rhythm going, so that a person can play it alone.
