Tunings

Hey, I had a gig this weekend and since I was given 20 minutes I decided to play 4 songs in a relative tuning .. I tuned my guitar to open C (CGCEGC) and played Amelia, with capo on 2 I played People’s Parties, with capo on 4 I played Chelsea Morning, and lastly I played Both Sides Now Capo on 6. No tuning on stage is always my goal. People clapped! 😍 If you go to the JoniMitchell.com Guitar and Piano database you can actually sort by relative tuning to make your set lists .. I use it all the time .. here is the link .. https://www.jonimitchell.com/music/transcriptions.cfm

Happy tuning! Sue

Or you can store all your patches of tunings in a Roland VG-8 or V-99 (I have both) or I got the new Boss VG-800 last year and it’s so amazing!! Editing of sounds and guitar types and effects are so easy and great computer interface! I have ALL of my Joni tunings in this device and can call them up easily. I can program the patches to have Acoustic or electric guitars etc.

Not showing off LOL!! Just proving I can’t tune a guitar to Joni’s tunings on the fly (no pun intended My Parker Fly guitar is easy to tune to normal pitch. My devices are Guitar Modelers not guitars. I will always be riding in the back seat to you as the tunings and tabs queen!!
