McNamara" ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 16:11:53 +0000 From: "Susan E. McNamara" Subject: Joni Mitchell Complete So Far I have to say that I am enjoying going through the new Complete So Far tab book by Joel Bernstein. I think for anyone who is a student of Joni's alternate tuning method, this is a good companion to the many EXCELLENT tabs at the Joni Mitchell guitar and piano site. I decided I would learn a couple of songs that I hadn't played before, including Nathan LaFraneer and the Circle Game (can you believe it!). Although there were a couple of chord shapes here and there I didn't agree with, overall I feel that by learning the songs off these sheets, I was able to play the songs the way Joni wrote them. Really fun songs to play too. The lyrics in Nathan LaFraneer are really thrilling me ... through the tunnel tiled and turning ... into daylight ... I am escaping ... love it!! Also, the tuning list that he has at the beginning of the book is arranged by the tuning key, which is fine, but I much prefer the databases choice of "family of tunings" as Joni calls them, or generic tuning, which eliminated the lowest string and is based in Joni's number system. Well, I'm hoping that after some more in depth perusing I'll be able to write a more comprehensive review, but if others are using the book, I'd love to hear what you think of it.
