Right, if you can see Joni play it, you can copy, but I always wonder what is that E shaped chord when in the second position of open tuning…in other words, how do you structure chords (and invent new structures) if in various alternate tunings. Some of the guitar riffing on classic Joni albums “Blue” and “For the Roses” is intricate stuff…Joni was a great player. To my surprise, the SKILLS section of TAC explains how to tune the guitar to alternate tuning….but that’s it, it leaves out new ways to structure chords, and other playing intricacies that make open tuning sound great.
