Thanks for the post. I play this one and for some reason I stay ahead of it. Its as great tune.. Getting closer but more listening is needed. I have decided that playing any tune spot on from a rhythm standpoint is always the toughest part for me. This is a tune everyone here will be gone but the song timeless.

If I remember this was in The Graduate, which came out when I was playing little league baseball. I think it was 1967, which makes this one over 60 and still very popular. Katherine Ross was always a favorite.

@Dai- I’m going to try the ‘Let her go’ intro. I have so many tunes already. I keep needing to archive some as I learn more, otherwise there are too many for me to play. I’m trying to be more selective, so that I end up with tunes that I really like. I never really know if they’re going to be keepers until I’ve played them many times, but I already use my D harp to play the intros to ‘Dirty old town’ and ‘Long may you run’ so this little intro should be easy to add to my repertoire. P.S Paul lassey is a terrific harmonicist.

@PapaCurly Use a notes program to keep track of your licks and tunes. I’m using Trillium for mine but, you can use any notes program. If you’re on Windows you can use OneNote that would be good for you. I agree Paul is a very good player.

This is a good tune to work on rhythm I/M/O. Its one thing to play a tune but another to get the rhythm right. I listen more often as single notes, bending, etc. are things I always try to improve on. But nothing will ever sound right without the rhythm played correct. It seems the closer I get to a new tune the more I listen as the smaller mistakes in rhythm show up. Moon River is one I picked out as any mistakes show up and it helped my playing too fast top begin to fade.

This isn’t really true to the thread title, as it’s not an easy tune for me to play, but I have mentioned before that ‘Both sides now’ is the song that I get by far the most compliments about. Ive actually been feeling very flat lately and feeling like I’m not playing well. Also, its winter here in Australia so I haven’t been getting out to play as much. The weather today was suitable, so I went for a long walk and stopped at a park and sat down to play some tunes. There was a couple around my age sitting about 6 meters in front of me, and a group of young ladies in their 20’s about 10 meters behind me. I played about a dozen tunes. The couple in front both turned around and clapped after I played both sides now, but not for any other tunes. When I finished playing, I got up to walk away and three of the young ladies walked over to me and said thanks for the music, that was lovely. I thanked them for their kind words and said I’m surprised because all of the songs I played would have been written and released before you were born. One of them replied, yeah, we know, but that Joni Mitchel song is so beautiful! So, there you are, it just keeps happening. I don’t know what it is about that song, but if you want to win friends and influence people, it seems that’s the one.
