This arrangement isn't played by Joni at all, but comes about from considering how 
Joni might play it if she ever transcribed it for guitar.  The idea came from watching a 
BBC program that played a clip of Joni playing Woodstock on piano in the early 
seventies, which then cut directly to a live performance in the eighties where she 
accompanied herself on the guitar. When playing this arrangement, I use a slow, 
'scratch and slap' kind of strumming, in the style of Woodstock from the Shadows And 
Light live album.
