Eva Cassidy – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain Guitar Lesson Info
Learn how to play Eva Cassidy – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain note-for-note on guitar with our Eva Cassidy – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain Guitar Lesson.
Eva Cassidy’s version of Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain is a beautiful example of how much feeling can be drawn from a very simple guitar part. Her fingerpicking is gentle, spacious, and supportive, letting the song breathe while quietly carrying the harmony.Most of the arrangement is very accessible, built around an easy fingerpicked pattern that sits comfortably under the fingers. The one moment that steps up in difficulty is the guitar break, which Eva plays as part of her solo accompaniment. That section rises into intermediate territory, and I break it down carefully so it feels manageable rather than intimidating.
Eva performs the song tuned down a full step, and that’s how I teach it here, but you’re not locked into that choice — the lesson works just as well at concert pitch if you prefer to stay in standard tuning.
You’ll receive:
-Two clear, step-by-step lesson videos
-A full performance play-through video
-Accurate tab, chords, and lyrics sheets
By the end, you’ll be able to play Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain as a complete solo guitar accompaniment — simple, expressive, and deeply moving, just as Eva Cassidy performed it.
