Bali Eyes… So I had a conversation years back about this song with Peter (DiStefano) at one of our legendary JA get togethers where he showed up and jammed like a sunbeam. He was actually going to show me the proper way of playing the song, but never got the chance. Since tablature on this song is very scarce if non-existent all together done right.
So I’ve got a challenge for my fellow musicians out here in the mesosphere, I’ve always played this song in 2 various ways without the capo, but I am curious if anyone does or has the correct/album technique/chords for playing this song. It’s great in open G tuning, with standard tuning you can strum the G string while playing the B string in the lead etc.. pretty cool stuff. So ya, rock on.~

I think is is close to what he's doing. The strumming is hard to convey. The index finger is the key to the melody. Good luck. Hope you don't need a video.
