9 years ago , you taught me how to tune done to open d by ear, thought me what a smooch means, showed me how to skoot up and skoot down, this is still one of my all time favorites to play, I wouldn't be where I'm at today if you never made this. Thank you
I love your version of this song...I also liked how you went over the tuning in such a way that helps people figure out how they can do it "on the fly." Thanks!
Hi, I was shown how to play this a few days ago, then I found yours on RUclips amongst others whilst looking for inspiration. Yours is the best, so I've ditched what I was learning and started again with your version. Thanks Jim
you are a wonderful artist and teacher. I needed to learn the song for a girls birthday party. She's 7 and I learned the song in about an hour from watching YOU. I had the girls watch it too and now they all want to sing and play guitar. you are really a beautiful soul, an inspiration . I think I love you
Fabulous lesson! This from an old guy who doesn't think he can learn a new trick, like Joni M's tuning and "strange" chords. And, thanks to you, I've go this wonderful song down. Thanks so much!
Joni would be proud. Just heard her old beau Graham Nash in Austin two weeks ago....he's still in love with her voice.....you've got it down pat. Well done.
Hey Ashlee, your video is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-! You are so beautiful, your voice is wonderful, you are a great guitarist and a very very good teacher! I think that everyone can learn to play guitar with you. You make every step very easy. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You sing very well! Thank you! I'll come back to see you again soon. Thank you. Bye!
This video made me smile on so many levels. I will have to work at the muting and strumming. Thanks for the chords, the timing and your unfettered love of music and your audience. Great singing.
Great Video ... thanks for the tip. Great song as well of course. Joni is my #1 artist since 1968 ... pleased to see there are young people out there that appreciate her as well. All the best. PS: You also have a lovely voice.
I love that you showed how to play the song (chords, tuning) and then played the song to tie it all together. You have such a happy attitude while playing.....it made me smile, I loved it. Best vid I've watched today....thank you.
Thanks - grew up listening to that song and always meant to learn it. I’ve seen people play it in standard tuning and done so myself and it never sounded right. Now - Mission accomplished!
When my city took part of a park to build the animal control facility, I altered the lyrics of this song to make it relevant. Thanks Joni. (You too Lola)
Dudette....Joni would be proud. easy lesson ..... but as you know you have to feel it. Which you showed. Great voice for this song. gonna learn it. Old dude :-)
wow, i was hunting around forever to get someone to actually show me how to play this and you are the first person to show it properly on RUclips and you can sing it too! Thanks so much, can't wait to get started
I know a couple of other Joni songs in open D so I thought I would check you out. You are a good teacher and know how to make it rock. Now I have one more for my collection, thanks
I'm relearning this song for an open mic, and have to say it's a JOY to watch you play and sing. Your lesson was straight forward....I just needed to revisit the tuning and chord forms. Your voice is awesome....singing and speaking.
Sa-weet! Fun to hear & nicely done! Thanks for showin' us! :D I LOVE it!!!!! Thank you so much sweet girl "smushed"...I love those technical terms :) Very well explained!
As a crappy guitarist, I'v had plenty of mediocre instruction, no one ever made it fun I guess, but this wasn't one of them. This was an actual guitar lesson that made sense...the girl is a guru, lol. This song is one of my all-time favorites, and now, I can play the s*** out of it!!! Thanx Lola! :)
Thank you SO much for this! I'm teaching myself to play solely by watching RUclips tutorials and after a frustrating couple of weeks of getting no-where fast, I have just managed to play this at full speed along with you after about an hour! Am me-ga happy. This has worked wonders for my self-confidence as I love the song and has given me a massive boost to carry on. Fab tutorial, merci!
Great tutorial - plenty of visual demo, not too much talking, adding the bits of tab really helps. Found this again after a couple of years, and I’d forgotten that you played the ending chords on the 7th and 12th fret - I realised I’ve being using 7th fret then 5th fret, to go up the octave, which is a bit more finicky to get to ring properly. Thanks, Ashlee (and I’m performing this tonight…)
Thanks for showing how to play this songs that i love it. Very good interpretation and i have to tell you that you have an amazing voice thank you very much
I'd noticed Joni playing this in an open tuning and just straight bar chords, once even from 1970 with capo on 2, probably when her voice was higher pitched, and like your open tuning turorial! Thanks! I'll be playing this song this Saturday night at a gig.
Great!I wish more lessons were like this.Entertaining ,to the point ,with a flow And a full play thru so you know how to put all the parts together!!I learned this this first time around,due to your talent ,not mine.Thank you so much!By the way ,Love you guitar and voice!
very well done I love this song I had a friend play this around a campfire and I always wondered what the tuning was Joni 's early stuff is so amazing thank you for blessing it again !!you r awesome
You're very talented.Cheers for taking the time to explain this brilliantly.There are a few ways to play Big Yellow Taxi but I think your's sounds the nicest.I love the chords and sounds that Joni Mitchells tunings produce. Thanks L*O*L*A LOLA
Hi Ashlee, you explaned this fantastic song very well, thank you! And a very lovely voice you got. Hope you're doing okay. Best regards from The Netherlands :--)

Excellent! Thank-you for such a clear lesson!
It's feel more than technique, your ability to express that is your superpower, don't stop.
Joni would be proud. Just heard her old beau Graham Nash in Austin two weeks ago....he's still in love with her voice.....you've got it down pat. Well done.
Thanks a million. You made learning this one a breeze. Very nice rendition too!
Beautiful voice, and one of my all time favourite Joni songs...very nice!

So helpful -- thank you. Joni used so many open tunings. This is so elegantly simple and it rings out just right.
Well I am happy to find you. Great lesson and a great voice. Bravo! from Canada.
I love that you showed how to play the song (chords, tuning) and then played the song to tie it all together. You have such a happy attitude while playing.....it made me smile, I loved it. Best vid I've watched today....thank you.

Perfect chords and vocals too - thank you!
Thanks for your video. I had trouble with the strumming pattern, but when I saw your video it clicked! Greatly appreciated!!
Dudette....Joni would be proud. easy lesson ..... but as you know you have to feel it. Which you showed. Great voice for this song. gonna learn it. Old dude :-)
"smushed add-on chord" made my day.

Absolutely love this tutorial it taught some important minor details that I didn’t spot it in others ❤️❤️❤️
Well done. Thanks for sharing your voice for the entire song.
The one thing you omitted was how to bob one's head like that.
I'm relearning this song for an open mic, and have to say it's a JOY to watch you play and sing. Your lesson was straight forward....I just needed to revisit the tuning and chord forms. Your voice is awesome....singing and speaking.
Fantastic, Ashley makes it clear and then sings it beautifully.
