Willie plays a lead guitar part on this song. Rather than a full accompaniment, he plays fills and licks and lets the band take care of the full accompaniment. This lesson arranges the song for a 1-guitar accompaniment, so it teaches a fully fleshed-out version of the song but also incorporates versions of Willie’s licks that work within the context of the accompaniment. Make sense?

This arrangement of Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground is fantastic! I’ve watched the play through over and over just because I like it so much. A friend of mine came upon tickets to a Willie Nelson show a couple years ago and passed them to me. To my surprise when I got there, they were front row, directly in front of the microphone. I felt like I was floating when he played this one as well as his take on Nuages. It’s going to take me a year to learn this and probably another year to play it in time (if ever). Still a lot of fun to try. Thanks for doing this one.

Cool. I’ve never seen him live, sadly.
It is a great song.
