FINE TUNING: The original album and single version
sounds flat of standard tuning. Maybe the backing
tracks were slowed down intentionally before adding the
vocals, or just mixed at different studios with
uncalibrated tape decks, recorded at Columbia Studios,
but possibly mixed at Atlantic's.
To match this recording you need to de-tune all your
strings, use a cromatic tuner for reference, and lower all
strings by approx. [- 45 cents] below standard pitch.
Live concert versions [not mimed TV ones] may be more in
standard pitch to play along with without needing detuning.
