@theemomancan The chords are basically starting with a G, walking the bass note down to an Em, then Asus2, back to Em. Then repeat, ending on a B7 instead of the Em. If you send me a message with you email I can send you what I have. Malcolm
Good job! I'm impressed with your choice and I'm also impressed with your ability to actually play it! I want to learn how to play this song so badly. But I'm just inept when it comes to finger picking. I can cover Roy Harper alright but anytime I try to learn an Ian Anderson or a Bert Jansch song it results in horrible failure. Once again, good job.
@malcolmpaine Oh, sure, it's easy for you! I'd be better at finger picking, but my right ring finger is crooked from when I broke it a few years back. It's not disfiguring, but it gets in the way of trying to finger pick. GRR
@malcolmpaine Haha, I'll live. I can still play guitar well enough! I just focus more on strumming patterns and chord progression a bit more since my finger picking is limited.
I also think this is a really nice tune, and the structure is very 'Jansch'. Janschs stuff can be a little scary at times, guitar wise..but this particular tune seems fairly approachable somehow. You have this down really well (as usual). Great picking and performance Malcolm.-Ian
fantastic, if you could post the chords or something that would be fantastic..

@Truemyshkin Many thanks indeed! This is one of his easier ones to play, just picking around 4 or 5 chords really.

@Truemyshkin I am sorry to hear that! I consider myself very fortunate.

@ianmcgeachy Thanks once again, Ian. Yes, for a Jansch tune this was pretty straightforward to get the essence of. A fun little tune to play.
