Dear Marian, Thanks for all the musical info. My 2 cents: when I first got the Hejira songbook I was a beginning guitarist. The songbook is all in standard tuning. By following the songbook I had no problem (even as a beginner) in playing Strange Boy, Blue Motel Room, Amelia. Some songs simply cannot be played in standard tuning, such as Black Crow. Some songs like Strange Boy sound better with the open tuning (from JMDL database) although they sound OK in standard tuning. I tried playing Amelia with the open tuning to see the difference but I gave up right away, I was too used in playing it in standard tuning. Does anybody PLEASE have the tuning (+ chords?) for the song: Dog Eat Dog? Laurent
