Summary of This Book

This chord songbook gathers 80 Paul Simon songs in lyrics and chords format, designed to get straight to the point: playing, singing, and mastering the harmonic progressions that define the artist's signature. It features the energy of "Cecilia" and "Mrs. Robinson" as well as the narrative atmosphere of "America," "Homeward Bound," and "The Only Living Boy In New York."

The collection highlights rich songwriting, where chord progressions serve the lyrics and melody. Songs from different periods coexist, allowing a transition from acoustic folk to more world and pop colors, as heard in "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes," "Under African Skies," and "The Rhythm Of The Saints." It is an excellent resource for working on accompaniment, rhythmic consistency, and vocal placement, while building an immediately playable repertoire.

With a selection that includes "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Scarborough Fair," "Kodachrome," "Late In The Evening," "Still Crazy After All These Years," and "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover," this book is aimed at musicians who want to quickly access the harmonic foundations of the songs, whether for personal practice, auditions, acoustic gigs, or jam sessions with friends. An essential for all fans of Anglo-Saxon songwriting and guitar-oriented song repertoire.
