Folkie101 Joan Baez and her guitar skills (53* d) RE: Joan Baez and her guitar skills 26 Oct 06


did Joan play any/a lot of barre chords in her early records, or was she playing mostly basic chords?

hello Don Firth,
thanks for the YouTube link! great stuff!

i once read a groovy book about the "Life And Times Of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan & Mimi and Richard Farina. in it, a folksinger says that he would show Joan things on the guitar (licks and such), and several hours later, according to him, she could play the lick, etc. better than he could.

it's clear she was very dedicated to achieving her dreams of becoming a singer and guitarist.
