Sad news of Canadian singer songwriter Ian Tyson's passing.
Perhaps the most identifiable song he wrote & performed was Four Strong Winds.
That song vaulted into the stratosphere by Neil Young & Nicolette Larson's cover on his 'Comes a Time' album. Or as other half says, allowed Ian to retire comfortably to his ranch lol
If you want to have one classic Canadian campfire song in your pocket, this is it!
I've worked up the elements to a tutorial/playalong in a Patreon post.
It has jam tracks for with simple fingerpicked melody on guitar, guitar strum and the tracks together so you can hear how they sound together.
Also lyric sheet with chord charts. as well as hand notated sheet music for the melody, to avoid any potential claims of copyright violation. I won't do the melody notation for every song but I wanted to offer it in this case. In further posts, I will tell you the source of the sheet music, maybe include a partial image like this so that you can get an idea of how complex.
There are also tips on playing certain sections, instrumentation, and more.
Here's the link to the Patreon post: FOUR STRONG WINDS.
Cheers.
