Bert Jansch - She moved through the fair

[vatti902]

A sad traditional song, sung by an honest man with a feeling.

[rodotech7]

Anyone know what guitar tuning he's using here-I thought maybe DGDGBD with a capo on the 3rd fret right?

[BigbaldyAl]

@rodotech7

It's standard Tuning. Look closely.

Al.

Sinead and Loreena,

Eat your hearts out!

[bigblacktomcat]

RIP Bert, one of the very best guitarists england has ever produced.

[senderama]

@bigblacktomcat Bert was Scottish

[tdbsnr]

AArgh, choke, beautiful, Bert at his totally absorbed best. RIP.

[fineststeel]

Your passing was the cessation of your final pain you musical magician and Troubadour: Go in Peace. May Bert have as much rest as the joys and sweet pleasure he brought to us, who were blessed to hear him and his fine company.

When I found out he had passed away it felt like it was one of my family. My ultimate guitar hero. I met him a few times at his gigs. A very quiet unassuming man. Sadly missed

[sawabojo]

@ianevans67 i understand your point i felt like i had been kicked

[ianevans67]

@sawabojo I have that exact model of guitar in this video after he recommended it to me. It's hand made and I got the last one off the production line before they discontinued it. Trust me when I go that thing goes with me and probably ends up in my ashes :-)

[sawabojo]

@ianevans67 haha i understand a few of my guitars are like that to me ...........

[ianevans67]

@sawabojo I wouldn't say I was any good as a player though lol but the Yamaha LL11e sounds amazing, even though it's Japanese it has a nice English folk sound. Ralph Mctell uses one too. They were good friends and they both suggested I get one. Very good advice

[sawabojo]

@ianevans67 thats a interesting point i have one myself .......and i think they are among the finest guitars built i know several people who hold that viewpoint .........i am in japan lots ( my wife is japanese) and they know how to build nice guitars a good example is IMO tokai if you play electric guitar ........RIP bert still gutted

[monocabine]

[TheBullinamingvase]

Thanks for the upload, a great song preformed by a great artist, Bert brings the emotional content within the song to the fore beautifully.

[rcttim]

[ianevans67]

[sixtiessyl]

Bert Jansch and my favourite folk tune - what more could a woman ask for? :D Wonderful, thanks!

[ianevans67]

@sixtiessyl Well im a man and its my favourite song and artist too. Met him a few times too, very nice bloke

[Threepwoodist]

@sixtiessyl I couldn't have put it better myself. So sad to hear that he has died... I thought he was indestructible.
