Lesson notes

Kathy's Song was written by Paul Simon after his return to America. He had been living and writing in England when Sounds Of Silence started getting airplay, and Columbia called him back to capitalize on the momentum. This lesson is on Eva Cassidy’s arrangement of the song, which is pretty similar to the original but a little more basic as far as the guitar part is concerned. It uses the standard alternating picking technique, along with chords in the key of G, although she capos to the third fret.
