Handyman
Handyman was a huge hit off
1977’s JT album. A cover of a
1960 hit by The Sparks of Rhythm, Taylor re-worked the original by
slowing it
right down, and hit number 4 in the singles chart. It won him a grammy
for best
male vocal performance, and remains a high spot of his live concerts
today.
Relatively
simple by comparison with some of the
others in our James Taylor series, it nonetheless does include a Bm
barre chord
and Taylor’s typical hammer ons and pull offs. The easy version avoids
both of
these. The right hand pattern remains pretty simple in both versions. |
