She's not someone I'm familiar with. In which case I suggest that you get your ears round a copy of Blue and Hejira

Very unoriginal, I know, but Blue is on my shortlist of best albums ever.

I wish they'd do a feature on her on BBC4. Watched one about Carole King last night. Fantastic talent.

I have to confess Joni and I have been having a mad, passionate affaire for years. It's just that nobody ever bothered to tell her.....

But seriously folks, how wonderful it must be to have the ability to take a subject like that and write something so beautiful, poigniant and original, let alone work out a tuning that reflects the environment. Some, a very few, are just on a different level.
Ry Cooder, btw, put his guitar in tune with the dessert to compose Paris, Texas.

I don’t believe that for the moment. I suspect he simply picked out a tuning because it fitted the mood. Nor do I believe Joni tunes to the ocean.
Nice stories though.

www.alfred.com/joni-mitchell-complete-so-far/p/00-40964/This is an interesting book of her guitar tunings, but only gives a flavour of each song, the intro in most cases, not the full tab/sheet music. The way they are indexed is good, by album, by tuning, and alphabetical order. Trouble is, with the few I’ve learned, I can’t really manage the vocal pitch! Just another thing I had to have... Vinny
