Guitar Lesson: Hazy Shade of Winter
The Bengals cover of Paul Simon’s Hazy Shade of Winter
The Bengals did this in the key of F minor. Paul Simon wrote and performed it in Dm. The tabs and lyrics for the Dm version can be found on Chordie.com, and they’re pretty easy to transcribe to Fm. Just move everything up three steps, as in Dm to Fm, C to Eb, etc. In the audio below I walk you through the chords they play and talk about the lead. If you want a note for note on how to play the lead in the 8th position like Viki Peterson often does (but not in the video below), post a comment.
