Written by Willie Nelson in 1961, “Crazy” became Patsy Cline’s signature song. By 1996, the Amusement and Music Operators Association named it the #1 most-played song on jukeboxes. Rolling Stone has ranked it as one of the Top 100 songs of all time.

For my tutorial, I played it in the Travis Picking style in the key of C and simplified the chord progression somewhat, but it still sounds pretty good to me. There are a few quick chord changes, but if you stop the video in a couple of places where that occurs, you should be able to pick up on them pretty easily.

Oh, and after listening to Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline, I realized I played it too fast. I’m not gonna do it again, but you can feel free to put the brakes on and play it slower.
