Can anyone give me some tips with 50ft Queenie and maybe some tabs for me jane? I' having trouble with the D-tuning on the 6th sting.
I know I’m bumping an extremely old thread, and maybe further input and clarification is no longer needed, but the tabs online for this album are still quite inaccurate, as are the YouTube play-alongs & tutorials.
Me Jane is in standard, so there’s no low D on the lowest string, but maybe you were talking about 50FQ.
All this to say, I’m going to be posting several YouTube tutorials soon. I have a good grasp of Polly’s style from listening obsessively to her albums (at least up through Uh Huh Her), watching her live performances, knowing what tuning each song is in, and from playing guitar for 20 years. So I’m really looking forward to putting out more accurate (if not 100% accurate) tutorials, because I think it’s downright shameful how many mistakes there are out there. I’m floored whenever I see someone using the wrong chords for Man-Size, for instance (and everyone does. Literally everyone)
I’m especially eager to put out some information (in the form of videos) about songs from 4-Track Demos which have scarcely been attempted, like Driving and Easy, and Hardly Wait (which has an inaccurate play-along video on YT).
