Yeah, I’m not sure what’s wrong with me doing something like this. It’s weird, I know.
But such a great song. The CSN/Stephen Stills ‘original’ reminds me of early fall nights back in the 70’s. School is back on and we are discovering changes in old friends and finding new ones.
And here I have taken all of those sweet memories and done this to them. I should be sorry for what I’ve done. Maybe I am.
Anyway, Love The One You’re With is another song I’ve always loved but never knew how to play. The original is in a weird tuning and I hate weird tunings. I watched a few guys play it on standard tuning and realized that the complicated part of the fingering didn’t really amount to much musically and so I simplified the whole scheme, and it distilled down to almost nothing. Beautiful, freed me to focus on digging into the rhythm which I sure enjoyed playing.
I was going to add more vocals but I think this gets the point across just fine.
you should get your wife to do some backing vocals at the end!
