What is the history of the Crazy G tune?
Who made it? Is there an original version? If not, could you recommend a good version? Joined Apr 26, Messages Points It's a great tune, isn't it? There are many variations of it I reckon this one is the best tutorials Last edited: Oct 5, Uncle Rod Higuchi Active member.

OK, forward 50 years!! I'll also try to explain how to read them so as to diminish the confusion And, forgot to ask in my OP, how old is this tune? Rod learned it in the 'mid to late 60's'. Is there evidence of it being older than that?
UkerDrew Active member. It's a. Download the tab for Crazy G Here are a few pointers to help you master this song: The key is to keep your right hand moving in a very steady up-and-down strum. Think of your hand as the pendulum on a metronome: an unvarying down-up-down-up-down-up. You don't create the rhythm of the song by varying your right hand motion, you create the rhythm of the song by hitting the strings sometimes on the downstroke and sometimes on the upstroke.
The tab indicates this with a blue down arrow or a red up arrow. As you can see from the tablature, you strum down on the beat and you strum up off the beat: if you count a measure "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and", then you strum down on the "1, 2, 3, 4" and you strum up on the "and". You'll notice that the rhythm is the same pattern repeated over and over again every two measures the only exceptions are the last two measures of Lick 2 and the third measure of Lick 3.
Start off by practicing this two-measure pattern with the strings muted hold the fingers of your left hand lightly against the strings. This will let you hear the rhythm more easily, and will let you get the groove down without having to worry about the chord changes. When this becomes easy, then add the chords.
Learn it slow, then when you're comfortable with the song, pour on the speed!
