this is gorgeous, wonderful when the harmonica comes in on the intro. It's exactly the right sound. I believe most good songs have one or more tricks/secrets, and this song's is the dropped D tuning. You simply have to try it yourself to realise how import it is for the character of this song, to produce that droning D-bass that makes the D chord so much more powerful than usual, and as a side-effect changes the bass on the other chords as well.

Cheers Jonas,

You sum it up pretty well. The dropped D on the bass is so simple but makes a huge impact on the feeling of the tune. When I play this tune I usually follow it with "Hard rain" (which is basically a waltz), and "Hollis Brown" (though some would drop the high E too, I don't tend to) then tune the bass string back up again and move on.

I used a Yamaha LD10E guitar. Hohner Marine Band harp. Alesis iO2 USB audio interface. T.Bone SC1100 mic and Cubase software.
