Description: In this lesson we will be learning Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi. The song is played with an open D alternate tuning. The tuning of open D is shown in the tab. The song consists of a I - IV - V (E, A, and B) chord progression for the most part. The tricky part about this tune is Mitchell's intricate rhythm playing. She keeps her strum hand going in an 8th note fashion accenting and muting various strums.
