    @Kitsune and @brooom - you guys should duet!

    You need to agree on a spelling though, we don’t want artistic differences ruining it at this early stage. 
    That's the only way I've ever seen it spelled on the original 3/4 AD record...
    I dunno where I picked up the spelling from. Seem to remember it being both ways in that Dazzling Stranger book - plus the "Angie" spelling, but I probably change spelling every time I write it haha.

    I think it's been covered so many times, that everytime someone covers it they somehow change the spelling. Don't even know if the original had the right spelling to be honest.

    Regardless, It's a beautiful song.

    I tend to find myself playing dance with me - Orleans at some point. Good way to check your ears/tuning/the guitar.

    Wow - I just had a quick run-through of "Tell Me Why" from memory - I'd forgotten what a great song it is!  (In key of G, yes?)

    In standard tuning, for me it's often Blackbird, but more often "A Case Of You", Joni Mitchell, in C.  I play the part she plays with that instrument she plays on her knee - Appalachian zither or something?

    In open D it's my version of Vestapol.

    Quite different tunes, but if in standard Lagrima by Tarrega.


    If in DADGAD which was more often than not, Drifting by Andy McKee.

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

  • @Nitefly Yep, key of G. It’s got a lovely picking rhythm to it, much like a lot of his other songs from that era, and just suits my acoustic style. You can play it nice and loose just like the man himself, and it feels goooood.

    And I remember drunkenly teaching a busker to play Blackbird many years ago on the streets of Sheffield!

    It is a good song; I also like Cripple Creek Ferry for the same reason, nice and loose.   :)

    Oh, and the Joni instrument was a dulcimer, not a zither.
