David Crosby - Paint You A Picture

If you know of a song that you think would make a good lesson, here is the place to bring it up. As of May, 2015 we have over 800 song lessons but are always on the lookout for more. Be sure to point out what about the song makes it a good candidate, unique or unusual, a particular part that interests you, or just that you think a bunch of members would enjoy it. An embedded video would be helpful as well.

Hi,
I am really interested in "Paint You A Picture" from David Crosby's Lighthouse album (2016).
It is in an alternate tuning, probably the same as "I Had A King" by Joni Mitchell (DADEAD or DADDAD, according to Joni Mitchell''s Discussion List website). At some moment the arpeggio sound very much the same as in Joni's tune.
Thanks,
Santiago

this is the original version:


and this is Crosby playing it live:
