This lesson takes a look at Shawn Colvin's version of Crazy, originally by Gnarls Barkely. It is primarily based on several of her live performances.
She uses a classic Travis style fingerpicking arrangement, which is somewhat fast, and for that probably challenging to some guitar players. On the other hand, the chords are relatively easy.
In general, even though Shawn is pretty consistent in some things, there is still much more that comes out differently each time she plays anything. This song is no exception, and students are encouraged to make the song their own.
