How to play Big Yellow Taxi (Joni MItchell)

I recorded this while out on the Seas on Holland America Line's ms Amsterdam! Someone on board was wanting to learn how to play it, so I made them the video and ended up forgetting to give it to them, so now I'll post it here as to how I play it.

The chord names I used are NOT the technical names for these chords, they're just how I remember them! When playing in Open D, the "A" chord is not really a bar on the 5th fret, but it's more for point of reference for all you guitarists out there!

Happy playing!!! Hopefully I'll do more of these things!!!!

I could use this tuning to play Salt of the Earth, but the tuning for that song is a little higher.

Great tutorial though. :)
