Hi johni, thanks for the contribution. You might already know this by now, but this song is played (on the album) by tuning the bottom two strings down one step. So that's DGDGBE.
Let me know how you're getting on with these, I just ran into the version of "back again" John does live at les cousins, trying to figure it out!
great stuff, I love the way John could make standard tuning sound like open...he does it in a few of his songs, very unmistakable. Great playing...im seeing more and more John martyn videos surface, now that he's passed, and it;s such a great thing to see.....i'd love to see more of your JM videos
hi, do u think he plays this in standard tunin? its really hard to play like this i'm thinkin maybe he uses open tunin.i play it in standard cuz one of the chords sounds like one that dylan uses on girl from the north country and spanish boots (the c shape played 2 frets up)
Followin the heartbreakin news of johns death i just wanna pass on my condolensces to any1 who has been touched by his genious in any way. i am so grateful i got to see him in person, his music will stay with me forever. i will b much more active on this site in the future and apologise for not posting in the past. pls feel free to msg me
Nice wan ma friend..... A favourite of mine and i'm reckonin that its note perfect... Huge JM fan and would love tae see more from yersel... what aboot Ballad of an elder woman?? Would love tae see ye nail that... Cheers fae Glasgow....
