    Love how I get an ad for “learning guitar from RUclips doesn’t work” and yet here I am in the domain of master Marty. This man prolly taught more people to play then anyone else in history

    Marty I love Joni Mitchell. I’ve had a childhood fantasy of her. every time I heard her music beforei knew who she was, I would hide behind a door and cry. Just a child. Her voice grabbed me. I know one song free man in Paris. . Her tuning technics inspired the greatest. . Absolutely my favorite

      I think my brain would explode if I tried to figure out her open tunings…!!😳🤣
      But I’ve always loved Joni and her music..!❤️

      I was born in 1971, I still remember hearing Help Me on the radio and loving her voice. I still love it to this day. I love how she "climbs and falls" with her voice. Please pardon my lack of proper terminology as I'm sure there are actual terms for that.

    Thank you Marty! A terrific lesson! I love the open D tuning. I'm trying to get familiar
    with a few open chord tunings so I can mix things up when playing. Joni is so
    musical and extremely talented. I've been following her since the 60's. I'll look
    to see if you do any other alternate tuning songs. Thanks again!

  • @K.B.
    @K.B. 2 года назад +3

    In that "famous" video Joni is clearly capo'd on fret 4. Most tabs do as you have done and put the capo on fret 2. Joni's website says to play in in standard tuning EADGBE or "Joni" Tuning: E55545. Joni also goes up higher on the fretboard on occasion.(Clearly visible) I have not seen or heard anyone do it with capo at 4 as she did.

    Thanks, Marty,
    Now I can tune in the propper tuning to play this. I've been wondering how Joni plays this song for years. I play it in standard, but I always knew that wasn't right. I can't wait to try this, thanks for singing it really helps me pick out the chord changes. Have a great day and keep up the great work.

    For those of you who would rather not capo....do an open E tuning! 3rd string to A-flat, 4th string to E, 5th string to B... easy! I've done it for 30+ years!
