This is interesting - I went to several Tori Amos concerts this year, and Rufus Wainwright opened. I was close enough at one of the shows to really watch his playing, and I noticed that in the song California (no, no Joni content there) there is a transition where he goes from an Fm to an F (if I remember correctly) with a few strums of fully open standard tuning in between! I thought it was cool how it didn't sound discordant in the context of the song. hugs, Yael
