I heard this song on NPF a few days ago sitting in my car. I was reminded what a fantastic talent Dylan is -- that's why I was on You Tube today looking for a video. Dylan emerged from the likes of Perry Como and Dean Martin with songs and lyrics that cut to the heart. The folks at the Nobel knew what they were doing when he was given the prize for literature.

No......It's in E, (NOT E flat)...... Capo on 2nd fret (as stated in this video). I know there is a video of Dylan singing this song in E flat, but the Freewheelin' version (original album recording) is as represented in this series of videos. Folks should feel free to place the capo wherever it suits their vocal range, and not agonise over what key it was recorded in.

A much easier way to get to this tuning is to put the capo on the 5 lower strings only, while leaving the 6th string (e string) open. This gives the same tuning without needing to retune the e string.😄
@Lowdenjim
10 ай бұрын
Yes - similarly when playing his "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" using C chords at the 4th fret it works very well. I also play George Ezra's "Budapest" using C chords at the 4th fret leaving the bass E string open as it gives you that very distinctive bass that George gets without having to drop the whole tuning way down as he does - which doesn't work well on an acoustic unless you have brand new heavy gauge strings on your guitar. George played electric guitar on that song as well of course - which helps. Dropping the 6th string a tone now and again is simple enough though and I'm always switching to and fro when performing in public - it's easy and quick once you get used to it. Also, I sometimes use my low F harmonica and sing the song with capo on the 3rd fret, and then you have to drop the E string down a tone of course.

You can of course do it that way, but Dylan detuned and to get the authentic sound you need to do the same because otherwise you can't get the same notes on both the "A" and "G" chords which are critical to the original sound.
