Subject: RE: Circle Game video
Thanks Kat but I'm really after a rendition by Joni. The one in that You Tube is in regular tuning and Joni plays hers in open G.

She's done several variations - the live version on Miles of Aisles has some different riffs than the original, as does the live TV one with James Taylor that I mentioned earlier.

There's another/better You Tube one by a guy (Nycity72) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y7RQiPBUqU, which is more helpful, but even though it's in open tuning and has some interesting sequences, the parts I'm interested in seeing are still different from the way Joni plays them.

I have a good bit of the song down but it's still duller than I'd like it to be so I want to see how she does certain parts. I know it's not going to sound like the studio recording, and I've even changed a couple of things already, but I'd like to at least see what she does.

My teacher told me he thought there was a video out there - maybe even for that TV performance with James Taylor. What I'd really like is an instructional video rather than a performance video so I can focus on her hands but I know that's not possible, so whatver motion visuals I can get of hers will suffice.

P.S. Joni plays right handed in all the stuff I've ever seen about her, so unless it's all been reversed...
