  • The people running the official Joni Mitchell website loved the arrangement, and wanted me to write it out on TAB & notation, which I did! It's available for free at Joni's website... Link here:

    Also, here's a free guitar lesson for this arrangement that I posted on my other UA-cam channel! Please subscribe to that UA-cam account as well if you want to see free lessons from me! Link here: • "Both Sides Now" GUITA...
    I've never arranged anything by Joni Mitchell before.. Her singing is so incredibly free and wonderful. To do justice to a Joni Mitchell song (on solo guitar) seemed impossible.. but I tried! Only because this is one of my all time favorite songs. Thank you so much for listening!

    Well, I've struggled, laboured, cried, and laughed on acoustic guitar for over 30 years. I've heard player after player, instrumental, and song. And, just when you think you've heard it all, along comes such a beautiful, beautifully played arrangement. Fantastic.

      Emil, do you have a recording of that song that you posted on your Instagram feed where you were playing the guitar and your wife was singing.i thought that was a terrific and soul-touching performance.
      Please, the world needs that to be a recorded track, or at least a complete version.🙏
      Your playing, with her voice ...gives me chills everytime I watch it.

    What a Beautiful Rendition of a Beautiful Song. Bravo!!! 👏👏👏
    He Makes Music
    ~
    He makes music
    With hands that sing
    He sounds the words
    With wordless strings
    A song of long ago
    He sculpts its beauty
    It’s bitter-sweet feel
    He makes music
    With emotions and longing
    As he plays with shades
    As he sketches and paints
    Upon the frets and strings
    He makes music.

    I notice some are baffled by your talent which I'm sure you have...in abundance. However I'm thinking of all the practice you must have put in to get this good. To me that shows dedication, stamina and willpower. I'm sure you have sacrificed many "fun" things on the altar of guitar practicing.
    My hat off to you sir for all that and for bringing us this and other wonderful pieces of music.

    Rows and floes of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    Looked at clouds that way
    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and they snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way
    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down and still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all
    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way that you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way
    But now it's just another show
    And you leave 'em laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away
    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take and still somehow
    It's love's illusions that I recall
    I really don't know love
    I really don't know love at all
    Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say, "I love you, " right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way
    Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange
    And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
    Well, something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day
    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all
    It's life's illusions that I recall
    I really don't know life
    I really don't know life at all
