The_key_to_playing_this_song_is_getting_the_open_tuning.
Once_you_hear_that_beautiful_chord_on_open_strings_youre_half-_way_there.
The_chords_are_pretty_much_all_one_finger_shapes,_straight_barres
across_all_the_strings._Getting_to_the_open_tuning_is_the_trickiest_part,
a_chromatic_tuner_is_very_useful,_unless_youve_the_keen_ear_that_John_had:
___Top_E_string_-_Down_to_D_
_______B_string_-_Down_to_A#
_______G_string_-_Down_to_F
_______D_string_-___Up_to_D#
_______A_string_-_Down_to_G
Bottom_E_string_-_Down_to_C
TUNING:_C_G_D#_F_A#_D
Light_gauge_strings_would_not_be_advisable_for_this_very_low_tuning.
Playing_with_a_low_C_on_the_6th_string_requires_a_real_lightness_of_
left_-hand_technique_to_avoid_pushing_the_slackest_strings_off_of_
the_fretboard,_you_will_also_need_to_re-check_the_tuning_more_often_than
usual_too_if_you_play_this_tune_repeatedly_while_practising_it.

Here_John_tunes_even_lower_to:__A#_F_C#_D#_G#_C__with,_generally,_the_same
chord_shapes,_but_sounding_a_full_tone_lower._He_busts_a_D_string_in_the
first_part_of_the_clip,_so_the_song_begins_at_[3:24]
John_constantly_improvised_on_his_songs,_never_playing_or_singing_them
exactly_as_his_records._There_is_plenty_of_room_for_experimenting_and
adding_your_own_subtleties,_which_is_what_his_songs_are_all_about.
Use_plenty_of_slides,_hammer-ons_and_percussive_slaps_to_add_more_life.
