Gig & Student Works: Georgia On My Mind

ByBradford Werner
2013

A new section of the site is Gig and Student Works where I’ll be making videos of some of my favorite material for my students for casual gigs. I like this arrangement of Georgia On My Mind for guitar as it is simple enough for students or to read at casual gigs. Here’s some info via wiki: “Georgia on My Mind” is a song by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, closely associated with the cover version by Ray Charles, a native of Georgia, who recorded it for his 1960 album The Genius Hits the Road. It became the official state song of the State of Georgia in 1979.

You can buy the sheet music notation and TAB for this song here: Georgia On My Mind via Amazon
