[@SimonRobeyns]

you're magnificent. You play all the hidden gems that nobody bothers to put on youtube these days.

An old man in Eastern Kentucky (that'd be me) thanks you sincerely. A remake if this song by Sir Paul's boy has helped remind people what a beautiful song this is.

Sir Paul covered this? This old NH salt thanks you, Sir, for making me aware of this! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@solice8844]

Got it. Thanks. Now how about the rest of the song in this G tuning?

[@prikarsartam]

Very precise tutorial. Thanks!

[@davephilips3969]

Very helpful video. I really feels good to make that sound. Thank you.

[@strigoviro5785]

You're an awesome teacher!

[@rosslongbottom6362]

Please explain the tuning and what those words mean. Thanks!

[@hannahsfield]

Great lesson....thanks!

What's Joni doing with her left hand here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enirm3uLlL9rmpo ? Is it called overhand? And what's the advantage of doing it that way?

[@rdbury507]

@ Thanks! That makes sense. Who knew JM had short fingers?

[@gerhardlegeland4523]

In Joni's young ages her left hand was still weak even some fifteen years after she suffered from polio. So she played especially in this song quite a lot this technique. Later her left hand became stronger and she stopped playing this way.

[@rdbury507]

@@gerhardlegeland4523 Wikipedia says her weak hand led her to create non-standard tunings as well, and this influenced the chord structure of the songs she wrote. It makes you wonder how often disease profoundly influences artists work.

Oh! OK, good tip, Thanks. Now all have to do is remember.

[@Person-ly2lk]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@lincolnmillstein]

Like all guitar teachers you shoot at a bad angle so it's hard to tell if your fingers are pressing down on the fret or not ... also waste too much time tuning ..

well, on you tube they have many viewers. You're not the only one they are catering too. Just saying bud.
