If one were to listen to the 1968 Demo version (Youtube Sweet Judy Blue Eyes (Demo)) one will hear Stills tune his guitar EEEEBE. When he runs through the strings, it is an open E5 chord.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 18:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
I believe the correct tuning is E A E E B E.Stills runs through the strings before he starts playing on the Woodstock recording. It would be helpful to find that.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 13:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC) I remember this tuning being in an article showing how to play the song in Acoustic Guitar magazine way back in the 1990s. The 5th string would not sound right tuned up or down to E. Jackhammer111 (talk) 06:39, 13 July 2016 (UTC)I believe you are correct about it being in EBEEBE. I'm interested because I spent probably 6 months learning the song in the early 70's and was very frustrated when I recently tried to brush it up again and couldn't remember the tuning. I'll see what I can do to make it more than probably. Doubling the fifth makes way more sense than chord with 5 roots and a fifth. It's been dabated endlessly but it's probably EBEEBE. what's stated can not be relied up as being accurate, especially if you are a player trying figure the song out. so what they say the tuning is is most likely the tuning a beginning player could use and in no way represents how stills tuned his guitar in that session. I've owned many that were totally worthless efforts to make something for people that just picked a guitar up yesterday play something that remotely sounds like the song. The footnote for the tuning uses the same source twice, then using a link to a page that mentions bruce palmer's tuning, which is not proof that's the tuning on the recording. The deviations in Steven Still's first and fourth lines are not just Gulf Spanish, they are crazy grammar mistakes, altho Still's accent is OK. A lot of songs have expressed such things. The rhyme scheme (in Spanish) this way is quite elegant, A B B A, putting "la mar Caribe" against "visitarme allí", which is nice, and "pa' Cuba" against "no pueda", which is poignant.Īs can be seen, it's actually a lament over Cuba being closed to travel for so long.
