Neil Diamond – Song Sung Blue (Tab)
I was completely unaware of Neil Diamond’s Song Sung Blue before it was suggested on Patreon. Although I was familiar with Mozart’s Piano Concerto 21 which heavily influenced it.
The chill organ intro is my favourite part of the song. I’m picking this using one-finger-per-string.
The picking in the verse is a bit more haphazard. But the basis is the thumb alternating between the g- and C-strings with each followed by a strum. Then the melody sits of top of that.
In the original, there’s a half-verse solo with an instrumental of the melody. Since we’re already doing that, I threw in a quick solo of my own making. Plenty of scope for your own ideas here.
