Capo: 1 Tuning:
Boy From Tupelo - Live by Emmylou Harris Tabbed by Aitch27 This has been a popular song in Emmylou Harris' repetoire over the last 15 years and her live performances seemingly favour playing the song a semitone higher, and thus in a different key, than the originally recorded version (see my tab of the original version). Whilst playing in this higher key of C# (or of course D flat) she has played this in two positions by use of the options the guitar presents with the Capo. Version 1 is how she played the song on the 'live' iTunes Album 'Hickory Wind' whilst Version 2 appears to have become her preferred way of now playing this song in concerts, which does gives a richer and brighter sound particularly on the Gibson SJ-500 she favours.
