Thanks Sue M and Kate B for your advice, encouragement and enthusiasm round this open tuning business. Open D and G tunings are the only ones I've ever had success with; Big Yellow Taxi and You Turn Me On IAR Cold Blue Steel, Nathan La Freneer and a dubious Sweet Bird. To let you understand, I'm rubbish at guitar and desperately need tuition. Ok Sue you have a mission. Can I ask a dumb question? Like no-one else I know, I hear you say. Aye very funny. I must be missing a page somewhere in my Joni tunings cyber book. Question - you have retuned to X77235, you strum and it sounds very promising, but where do you put your fingers thereon in? The chord shapes? Man I've been fingering up and down the fretwalk all afternoon to no avail. Came up with a few interesting chord sequences mind you but having retuned how do you know the chord shapes for the likes of Passion Play et al? Like I say, maybe I've overlooked a tabs page. Best regards. WtS NP - Elephants & Flowers, Prince
