Renaissance Fair
I read in another topic that this song was played in an alternate tuning and capo. Can someone post tablature for this song and the proper tuning/capo position?
As I recall, the track was played live without capo's. A lot of open string stuff - as in "Dolphins Smile". The Ric 12 gives the illusion of being higher up the neck. A wonderful recording, one of my favorites, and a superb bass 'solo' by Chris Hillman. Actually the whole track is one long bass solo...

My favorite thing about that most excellent solo is hearing the amp volume rattling the drum snares during that little break...MAAA-GIC.
You just don't hear that kind of cool stuff on records anymore...

What I've always done (At least for the intro) is G string 4th fret, B string open, and High E 2nd fret. So you have two "B" notes, and one F#, and played sort of "Double time roll" When Crosby's chords come in, this may indeed be open tuning, I've never gotten it actually. I'm then hearing a C# sus 2nd before that signature lick. The ONLY way I've been able to play "Everybody's been burned" and make it sound right, is drop D, capo 2. Six string on the intro here of course (Burned) Thanks! Christian Bryan

Heres a link to the tab as published in Guitar Player a few years ago...both guitars are capoed at II. The 12 string is in in drop D for the chords.
As much as Ive messed with this it sounds right

The Guitar Player tab is exactly the 12-string tuning that I was referring to in my comment about The Byrdz on the tribute band thread.
Paul Kantner plays "Somebody to Love" in dropped D capoed at the second fret on a 12-string to this day. I've always wondered whether David Crosby and Paul Kantner shared the tuning when they lived together on the houseboat in Marin County in '62?
