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!
