Wish she made tabs available. She’s quite good.

Taylors are great guitars, but the bright tone is less full, leaving out a bit of fullness of the bass, to my ear...

Taylors are very well made instruments. But almost all new guitars have a rigid tone (The Martin HD-28 is a notable exception) and a 50 year old guitar will almost always have a much richer and fuller sound than one right off the workbench.

I actually like her old guitar better. I don’t even know the model, but it seems to me that it had a much richer tone. I suspect in about 10 years the fullness of the 912ce will come out. Personally, I don’t have that much time to wait. :-)

I have an old Fender Acoustic from the 1960’s that has a laminated rosewood body (gasp) and a laminated spruce top (heresy) and I would match it up against any brand new solid top, solid body guitar out there. It has a full rich tone and it just shocks me that such a relatively cheap instrument (I think it was about $150 back then) could sound so good. But then it is over 50 years old and the wood has aged to perfection.

If you just watch her fingers you should be able to figure it out. It looks like most of the chords are just first position G, C, D, A, Em with standard passing tones and a few accidentals thrown in. I bet you can figure it out in a couple of hours. Sometimes tabs are a lot harder to read than just watching someone play it.
