Talk:Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

tuning

the footnote for the tuning uses the same source twice, then using a link to a page that mentions bruce palmer's tuning, which is not proof that's the tuning on the recording. then there's the issue of tab books. I've owned many that were totally worthless efforts to make something for people that just picked a guitar up yesterday play something that remotely sounds like the song. they are notoriously inaccurate. so what they say the tuning is is most likely the tuning a beginning player could use and in no way represents how stills tuned his guitar in that session. what's stated can not be relied up as being accurate, especially if you are a player trying figure the song out. It's been dabated endlessly but it's probably EBEEBE. Doubling the fifth makes way more sense than chord with 5 roots and a fifth. I'll see what I can do to make it more than probably. I'm interested because I spent probably 6 months learning the song in the early 70's and was very frustrated when I recently tried to brush it up again and couldn't remember the tuning.

I believe you are correct about it being in EBEEBE. The 5th string would not sound right tuned up or down to E. I remember this tuning being in an article showing how to play the song in Acoustic Guitar magazine way back in the 1990s. It would be helpful to find that.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 13:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I believe the correct tuning is E A E E B E.Stills runs through the strings before he starts playing on the Woodstock recording. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RECCON (talk • contribs) 01:17, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

EAEEBE would not allow him to strum the guitar to the open E5 chord without pressing on the strings because of the A string. When he runs through the strings, it is an open E5 chord.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 18:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

If one were to listen to the 1968 Demo version (Youtube Sweet Judy Blue Eyes (Demo)) one will hear Stills tune his guitar EEEEBE. However, if one were to watch the Youtube video Crosby, Stills, & Nash - Suite Judy Blue Eyes, one will notice that the fingering he is using is synonymous with and Open D (DADF#AD) tuning, or possibly Drop D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.244.48.88 (talk) 21:19, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Spanish lyrics chats archived

I've just archived the discussions over the years about the Spanish lyrics. The vast majority of these threads amounted to personal speculation as to those lyrics, none of which is of value in the context of what a talk page is for, which is to discuss improvements to the associated article, but clearly the continued presence of those discussions here gave the mistaken impression that such discussion is suitable here.
