FINE TUNING: Only needed if you want to play along more accurately with the album. Joni's guitar is not quite in correct pitch and is a little under. To be much closer to matching the original recording, fine-tune ALL six strings down a little further by approx. minus 20 using a chromatic tuner. For the Ab to Db chords, slide up from open strings to the 5th fret barre. In the link, slide up from the Ebsus7 into the Ab *. For the Dbadd9, hammer-on and off the chord from the open stringed Ab chord. Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website might automatically suggest and just use the typed shapes shown below.
