Jerry,
How realistic is to think of getting from you an accousitc guitar arrangement for 50 ways to leave your lover? I looked at the chords from ultimate guitar-not a real substitute for your lesson! But they are quite pretty. So I guess another request…
Jerry says
It’s been requested before and it’ s on the to-do list.
Ashvin Rajan says
Thanks Jerry!
Ashvin Rajan says
Very happy with it Jerry! I asked for “I do it for your love” long ago! And another request!! “You’re So Kind” (from 50 ways to leave your lover).
I know you are very busy-just letting you know.

Jerry,
I have to say that your tabs for Still Crazy After All these Years are outstanding. It has been a really hard slog, but totally worth it already. I am struggling through the instrumental interlude-which is AMAZING, as is the guitar interpretation of the saxophone interlude on this song. You have really made me appreciate just how delicate and beautiful the chords on this song are (That Gm13….amazing). I feel so happy strumming them. To my way of thinking, your tabs are unique in just how accurate they are. I am not just showering you with empty praise. I mean every word.
Jerry says
Thanks Ashvin. It is an amazing song and I’m glad you’re having fun with it!
ashvin rajan says
Hey Jerry!
Another request from the same album-seems very challenging, but would be great to play!!
“I do it for your love” The somg just after Still Crazy..
Thanks!
Jerry says
That’s a great song from my favourite Paul Simon album.
I’ll add it to the to-do list.
ashvin rajan says
Feel bad adding further to your list! But that particular album has many lovely songs.
My requests :
Some Folks Lives Roll Easy. And from There Goes Rhymin Simon, Something So Right. I found tabs for Something So Right, and a year ago could play it after a fashion-but I am sure a detailed lesson from you would be really helpful in learning it! It was a really difficult song Jerry.
I also liked Tenderness from that album. Anyway no rush-I’m just wishing away!…
Jerry says
I’ll add those to the list. You’re right that Something So Right is much harder than it sounds.
ashvin rajan says
Finally managed to learn to play your amazing interpretation of the saxophone solo on Sill Crazy, and am struggling with the final verse-yet another key change!!
Jerry says
Yea it’s amazing. Just when you thought you’d learnt everything, there’s one final twist.
ashvin rajan says
It’s done. What a tremendous lesson!! I feel too shy to put myself up on the net and all that. But I keep playing the song because it’s so beautiful! Looking back it has been an amazing ride. You’ve probably seen this-but on the off chance that you haven’t you may find it interesting.
