I wasn't familiar with this song until now. Must be a lost classic?

[goldhat3]

Hey shelterdogs, I think this was on the first or second CSN album, probably qualifies as a lost classic by now.

[BradfordandLasso]

great rendition here sir!! love the sound.

Hi Paul, thanks, that Guild has a great sound to it, especially with the fingerpicks.

[snave1954]

Great job, what kind of guitar is that, it looks like my Takamine!

Guild F-50 jumbo 1979.

@ShelterDogs I agree. If you can't say something nice, shut the hell up. In fact it's very close and the original tuning was EEEEBE, however I've heard (and played) it using standard dropped D. It works both ways. Frankly I like this version. Who wants to waste time retuning to some weird open chord when this is so much easier and just as pretty. Your other question, the first time I heard this was on the (brand new at the time) Deja Vu album. If you don't have it, you should get it. It's great.

@crosby777 Oh wow. YouTube is amazing. What other outlet can you get a notice in your email about a comment you posted "2 years ago."

I will say this to you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm not sure saying "this is so aweful" is the nicest way to talk about a fellow guitarist. I'm sure you could have stated your indifference to this cover in a nicer way.

@ShelterDogs

This is so awful it's not even close. tuning is ddddad or eeeebe. Iv'e played it for years.

[1cleandude]

Tempo is a little slow for me, but over all a very nice job. Despite what some of the moron comments. Great job, keep posting.

[elSargent93]

Far out man, you've ruined another classic.

[UnclePutin]

Fantastic stuff--are you wearing picks on all 5 fingers? If so, does someone make them for that purpose or do you just mix and match til you get the right fit?

[ubacam]

hello, mark could you please explain the picking pattern because i cant quite get it down and all of the other videos are completely different. thank you for your time.

[mossrun]

Thanks Mark for... all of us that would rather tune one string down than tune 3... tuning low # down to D is no problem but re-tuning 3 is more than most of us want to or are willing to do : )
