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

[@paulallen3557]

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.

Hi, this is such a beautiful song, great lesson! I'll try it. Joni Mitchell is my favourite female musician and in my top 5 artists ever

[@chazburger100]

This is awesome, I always wanted to learn this song cos it reminds me of my mum. Thankyou!

[@mwidzinski]

Thanks for posting this tutorial! Do you plan to make another video with the rest of the song at some point? I would love to continue learning it!

[@natalieitzhaki4819]

[@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]

@Prophet Guru 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.

[@davephilips3969]

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 ..

[@Soviless99]

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

[@XXgenderloveXY]

Holy smokes you are a great teacher. Thank you
