Thanks for this help. My wife insisted I see this, cause I didn't want to "stop and ask for directions" with regard to learning this song, but we are in a hurry to perform this one live and your video will make it possible.
that guinevere tuning - the 2nd string is a real strain on the guitar neck. crosby asked martin guitars to build him a reinforced neck 12 string and they declined saying his tuning could cause catastrophic neck failure and perhaps injury.
I would like you to tune slower so I could watch ..once you get the guitar in this tuning the song just jumps off the strings.
Nice job! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I've asked you in the past if you could do Nash's Lady of the Island. I think it's in an altenate tuning, but don't which one. If you don't feel like doing a tutorial on it, could you please tell me what the tuning is? Thanks for all your CSN lessons!
Nice tutorial, thanks! This is not a song that has been covered on youtube much. It is such a pretty song. I love that "album"... It is definately one of those albums you want on a deserted island if you could only pick 10..
Mazn thank u sooo much!!!..U on facebook?

For chewiecookiecha
Yes the tuning for "Lady of the Island" is Eb, just drop down from standard tuning 1/2 step on each string (Eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb).

Sorry I don't know how to play that one. When I have time, perhaps I can figure it out. It's in open Eb tuning I think.
