=====================================================
FINE TUNING:
The Hollies original studio recording's pitch is
quite sharp, to match it, tune all the strings up by
approx. +30 cents above standard tuning.
 
CAPO: 2nd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded approx. Key of B)
 
Two videos of versions in standard pitch...
A live version in the Key of C
(Capo at 3rd fret to match it)

A much later live version in the Key of A
(So no capo required for this version)
