Re-check all the tuning,\r\nparticularly the very slack 6th string which adds\r\nthat growl. Keep your strumming a bit lighter than\r\nnormal to avoid knocking it out of tune too much.\r\n\r\nVERY FINE TUNING:\r\nOnly needed if you want to play along more accurately\r\nwith the 'Blue' album track. Joni's guitar is tuned a\r\nlittle under standard pitch. To match it much closer,\r\nuse a chromatic tuner and tune ALL six strings down\r\na little further, by approx. minus 20 cents.\r\n\r\nFor the G to C chords slide up from the open strings\r\ninto the 5th fret barre.\r\nIn the Breaks, slide up two frets from \r\nthe Gsus2 chord into the G * chord.\r\nFor the Cadd9 chords hammer-on and off the chord\r\nfrom the open string voicing of the G chord.\r\n\r\nVERY IMPORTANT:\r\nIGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website\r\ndisplays, the diagrams are produced automatically\r\nfrom a generic database which does not include\r\nthis song's open tuning.
