FINE TUNING INFORMATION:
The old pedal organ on the original album track is
quite sharp, so if you play along you will sound a
little flat in comparison. To match it more closely
you would need to tune all of your strings up
approx. +30 cents above standard pitch.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
