what kind of accesories do you need on your fingers man ?? id like to learn play like bert jansch

[electricragtime]

@pinchejuarezfeo Hi, you don't really need any accesories if you have the right fingernails ...when I uploaded this video I had been doing some building work and had broken 2 of my fingernails so it left my picking uneven ...which is why I was wearing the fingerpicks....if you listen to the other jansch thing I did "go your way my love it was done without any fingerpicks ..and I'm sure we would all like to play like Bert ....regards..kev

@tanglewoodtw400n Thanks again.... I used to do it for a living more years ago than I care to remember....now I just play for my own "amazement" ...cos its amazing if I can remember the words to more than 2 songs at any one time....and funnily enough I am sat here in that self same sweater....so I,m a scruffy fucker as well as a miserable one...lol

[bedsitsongbird33]

[electricragtime]

@bedsitsongbird33 ...thank you ...this is one that i like playing ...and I probably play it differently every time I pick up the guitar....but there again I rarely play anything the same twice in a row.....All the best...Kev

[Hvitiris]

Excellent rendition, well done!

[electricragtime]

@Hvitiris Thank you kind sir......this is another one I recorded on the still camera so not got quality...but I enjoyed doing it and thats what counts......I,m to bloody old to be getting into the new technology...Kev

[wendellpeek]

I love this tune, man---and you've done it fine justice...

[electricragtime]

@wendellpeek Thank you its a bit of a mixture of versions but I suppose its nearest to the bert jansch version

[dirkdiggled]

This is awesome, actually got here off of looking for the source of the "masters of war" Dylan tune. Haunting tones, very cool.

Are you in a dropped D tuning?

[electricragtime]

@dirkdiggled ...Thank you very much for the great comment...the guitar is actually tuned DADGAD ....a lot of traditional type music uses this tuning....Kev

[mvo5720]

Only ever heard this by Fairport, but this is very good, enjoyed it cheers Kev

[electricragtime]

Thanks Mike.... I think Jansch played the definitive version.... but I,m sure a lot of Davey Graham/shirley collins fans would disagree with me.....

[garibelon]

One thing to say....

Best wishes

@ianmcgeachy ..thank you my friend....your comments are always welcome....I was a bit miffed really cos I,d just busted two right hand fingernails and had to use picks which I dont really like to do....not enough control

[wendellpeek]

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about...!
