At Seventeen - Janis Ian (Tutorial - 2 - the explanation)

This is part 2 of my Janis Ian tutorial - how to play At Seventeen in CGDGBE. I mumble a lot and explain a little about what I'm doing, see notes below. This arrangement of hers is just so brilliant. The song is a masterpiece. It has everything. I have no written tab, but I hope this helps, if you can't follow what I'm doing then find an easier song to learn :D

Chords (I think):

G9 G GMaj7 G6 G

Am7 D6/9sus4
Lacking
Gm7 CmMaj7
Desperately
Gm7 Cm
Inventing
Ebmaj7 D7

And murmured

It isn't

Great tutorial! Thanks so much! Hey do you know poetry man? Another great song from the 70's...Cant find a good tutorial on that one...

[LiteGauge]

@pennysouix Thanks. I've never tried Poetry Man - I'll have to take a look. There's a video of Phoebe singing and it doesn't look too complicated - either standard or probably dropped D. Saddened to hear the news. Rest in peace and thanks, Harpo's Blues has always been one of my favourites.

This is THE one. Thanks. Lots of wannabes around, but this one finally hits the mark I was looking for. Wish the sound was better, but got it anyway. You rock!!

[LiteGauge]

@jaystrings Thanks very much, sorry about the sound - I'm a bit of a mumbler ;o) Anyhow, glad the visual helps.
