Guinnevere (Crosby, Stills & Nash) ==================================
Transcription by Charles Pecheur <Charles.Pecheur@inria.fr>.
This is a beautiful ballad found on the CSNY (compilation) album "So Far". It uses an unusual open tuning EBDGAD (Thanks to Harlan L Thompson <harlant@uhunix.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> for providing it on OLGA). I prefer to play it with a thumb pick to strengthen the bass line. The transcription has been done entirely by listening to the record. The original version features two guitars (and sounds like four), but this reproduces it fairly accurately. Judge by yourself and let me know of any corrections or improvements.
Tuning: E B D G A D
Structure: intro 1st verse 2nd verse bridge 3rd verse intro fade out on beginning of verse
