I Don't Know Where I Stand

Joni Mitchell Instructional Video: I Don't Know Where I Stand

This is my eighth instructional video for the album Clouds.  I only have one song to finish, Tin Angel, where I will be using the tab of my good friend, Pat Hillis, from Toronto.  Pat and I corresponded early in the mid-90s about deciphering Joni's alternate tunings, but didn't get to meet in person till we attended the 2013 Luminato Festival Tribute to Joni at Massey Hall. We had so much fun that weekend, it was almost as if we had been friends forever!  I love that.

My newest video is I Don't Know Where I Stand.  This song is deceptively simple, but has a lot going on ... not only the incredible melody, but the poignant lyrics and a trumpet solo!!  I was lucky to hear an old recording of Joni from 1967 during a cafe concert where she warned the audience that this song contained a trumpet solo, as she said "just to warn you so you don't wonder, what is she doing?"

This video will be housed at the Guitar and Piano database at JoniMitchell.com soon.
