We had a guy came to our club the other night. Said he only knew 3 songs. Did Big yellow taxi. Now that used to be a 3 chord trick. He had some really clever bits in it - and used non-standard tuning too - a variant of open G. I think he must have been a jazzer somewhere, once.

It took a boring old song and brought it alive, and his singing was nothing special. It was the guitar magic that did it.

So there are two sides to the story.
