Years ago, this song entered my repertoire purely by accident. Today, Call Me Al remains one of my favourite songs to play live and I am constantly looking for an excuse!
I am playing this in standard tuning but the whole guitar tuned down a whole step/tone so the chord shapes fit the original key of the song.
Please let me know what songs you would like to hear from me in the future!
The Channel:
On here you will find weekly acoustic guitar cover (uploaded every Sunday @ 09:00 GMT), regular uploads of reviews of gear I use when I gig and the occasional self-help video regarding overcoming anxiety.
A bit about me:
I am Lewis Foreman, The Anxious Guitarist. I am is a singer and guitarist from the UK who has been playing in front of audiences for the past fifteen years. From stadiums to café's, I can be found either playing my own material or putting a spin on my favourite tunes.
Why 'The Anxious Guitarist'?
Like many musicians and performers, I have struggled with anxiety and depression for the majority of my playing career. In addition to uploading reviews of gear I use and covers of my favourite songs, I will also be uploading the occasional video based on performance anxiety and anxiety in general in the hope that it might help those similar to me.
