Kingfisher - Bert jansch

[Sh1mna]

This is a really lovely piece that I hadn't heard before until I came across your version quite by accident. Since then I've heard the original and I must congratulate you on your excellent rendition. This is so catchy I've decided to put it on to my "must learn list". Thanks for posting it.

[chebghobbi]

Very nicely done! I had no idea there is a version with lyrics, is it on one of Bert's albums?

[houndheadhenry]

yes, its on an album called Sketches, the track name is 'cant hide love', hard to find no doubt.

[sequoia1979]

one of the best melodies my ears have caught. great playing. very respectful of mr. jansch.

[rmh2k6]

well played. inspired me to learn that song. keep up the amazing sounds man (Y)

[cjwaywell]

I am going to have to make myself a new guitar after seeing this Vid as that one sounds even nicer than a vintage Martin.

[gtrfinger]

very nice, what guitar are you playing? What woods?  a very authentic bert sound.

[houndheadhenry]

Its one I made myself I'm proud to say, cedar top, mahogany back and sides, built very lightly. Thanks for the positive comments :-)

[warwickrd1]

awesome - well played sir. can you teach me?!!

[houndheadhenry]

Thank you :-)

[radrian1]

You mention that it was later redone with lyrics. What is the name of the song or album?

[houndheadhenry]

Hi, it was on the "Sketches" album, released in 1990, and the song was named "Can't Hide Love". Bert commented that people kept saying "Kingfisher" had always sounded likle a love song waiting for words, so eventually he came up with some :-)

[glaoud]

I like this piéce ,what is the tuning please?

Bravo *****

[houndheadhenry]

Hi, its in standard tuning, thanks for the kind comment, I will have a look at some of your videos :-))
