This is a wonderful video Bastiaan. I'm a 70 year old (young at heart) amateur guitarist. It's no exaggeration to say that the release of "Song To A Seagull" changed my life forever. I bought my first Martin guitar because Joni played one. It cost my parents £400 at the time (how things have changed). For years I struggled to learn Joni's songs by ear, first trying to figure out her tunings by listening for open strings then piecing the rest together, a very slow but rewarding process. I gave up on many of Joni's songs which seemed too complex for me to figure out. Then along came your wonderful video and to say that it has changed my life once again is no exaggeration. On another note (no pun intended) I recently purchased a tuner fairly new to the market called the Roadie 2 (I have absolutely no affiliation) and it is wonderful in it's ability to store alternate tunings like Joni's and automatically and quickly tune the guitar from one to the other. It even takes capo placement into consideration.

Hi Bastiaan, I am glad you credited the Joni Mitchel Complete book. It was a project which took 4 years, started at Warner Brothers Music by Aaron Stang as the project manager. Joel Bernstein was our contact for Joni Mitchel for consultation and approval. I believe Joel was also our contact for other artist including CSNY. The tireless job of transcribing it was from Dan Libertino. Aaron and I shared the task of editing the manuscripts and proofs which were then sent to Joel. Transcribing is a very skilled and difficult job by some great players and great guys and credit for their hard work means a lot, especially 4 years for the same artist. I can relate so I just want to set the record straight. Sometimes credits got mixed up through the change from Warner Bros to Alfred and sometimes there are other reasons but it's unintentional.

Bastiaan: Ths video you have created with so many of Joni's tunes is beyond brilliant. Thank you SO much for making it and uploading it to KZbin for those of us rabid Joni fans who are also guitarists. It showed me how "wrong" I've been playing so many of Joni's tunes for decades, and introduced me to many songs of hers that I have always wanted to learn. In the early 1970s, I had a small group that featured me on guitar and two beautiful women on vocals. We called the group, "Conversation," after Joni's song, and I played it in regular tuning. Imagine my joy learning what the actual tuning is for the song! Again, thanks.

I've always loved the great Joni Mitchell's music and her magic guitar colours. She once said that she tunes her guitar in accordance to how she feels. If she's in a certain mood, if the weather is rainy or sunny, if there's a scent of earth in the air, etc etc... She then tunes her guitar to that. A lot of her guitar tunings are so much "Joni" that it is impossible for someone else to use them .....without sounding totally "Joni Mitchell", Hahaha....How much doesn't that tell you about her genius?

Trying to figure out her songs as a 16 year old with no internet (and no useful tabs at the time) was just....the hours, the years. I of course have the "Complete...so far" book as well as everything else published about her. There is a famous photo in this book and many others of Joni, CSNY and a young Clapton hanging outside...the photo shows Joni playing and Claptopn staring at her with a look that says it all.

in a way she is a genius because after suffering polio as a child limiting a lot of her ability.. she didn't let that be a hindrance she learn to basically tune the guitar to her ability. which is why a lot of people often wonder why does it seem like her tunings are so out there..she basically when she wrote songs she tune to where it was easier to Strava a lot of open chords and not have to fret as hard..
@thisNewFoundLand4 жыл бұрын
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist ...i bought the complete Joni Songbook, which details all of her tunings (over 50). One of the great joys for me recently is to play some of her tunes, but moreso just get lost in her chord voicings. There is nobody that composed like Joni, and as Elton John said recently (her 75th birthday tribute concert) -- she is "Number 1" -- the greatest ever. The musicians that worked with her are the cream of the crop: Metheny, Jaco, Brian Blade, Herbie Hancock, Mingus, Michael Brecker, Wayne Shorter...the names go on and on. Her having polio as a child impacted her creative path; her genius is evident in her paintings, her poetry, her compositions, and her voice. I listen to her daily. She is a towering creative force. She is also one of the greatest guitarists ever. Long live Joni Mitchell. The most complete artist of the past 250 years.

LOL--so, so true. I broke a few 4th strings when I first started playing with Joni Mitchell tunings. I don't even pay attention now to what the actual open note is. I just tune down and use a capo to accommodate my vocal range. Alternatively, I leave the 4th string on standard open and tune down around it. Bastiaan is right, though--you do tend to lose that beautiful broad feel of Joni Mitchell's chords as you go up the fretboard. Great job, Bastiaan!!

I refused to learn how to read music because at that age you are in a hurry. I'm an excellent picker and can incorporate strumming with picking. I've watched you for an hour and am wondering why I never learned what an "open cord"is. Pluses I'm tone deaf and thank g-d the app is great. If at my age I can learn one song it will be a miracle. If I can afford the book it will be a miracle. I still have my kapo, although looking at yours, it's slightly different! I know you have gone as far as you can and again, I've been looking for this. Recently being a registered fan, I was very inquisitive as far as books, sheet music. I have a music store now local to me and he printed out one J.M. song and it's similiar to forty-five years ago.
