A boody good attempt at playing the impossible.Bert Jansch himself did'nt play this live very often as even he found it difficult.Could you please send me the tab.raychappell@blueyonder.co.uk
Super job. I was at the gig Bert did on 18th November 1974. I remember it very well. The recording made that night surfaced on The River Sessions album and it's the only time I've seen Bert play this tune live. Very difficult, even for Bert.
You do a a very nice job indeed.
Also on the album.. 'In the Bleak Midwinter' Bert Style in Dropped D. Well worth a listen , for the arrangement. .Superb. I was there, and it was a superb gig.
nice job... after hearing bert's performance on "the river sesions" i can really appreciate how difficult it is. you seem to hit most of the notes when you slow it down. good job on what's probably my all-time favorite guitar instrumental.
hey, that's really cool. not sure how long ago you sent this to me to attach. sorry i didn't post a comment till now. but, anyhow, that's really nice. i don't know the original, but this makes me want to learn it.
That's not bad at all man! If anyone listens to Jansch's original it's a guitarist at the height of his powers, the power and beauty of the piece shine through. I learned about 75% of the tab, took a break for 2 weeks, came back and could hardly play any of it!! You've got to keep the left index finger very supple!
Pure gold, you're bloody fantastic. I've loved Berts' stuff since I was 16, I'm now 54 and still in love with his stuff, I can play sum of his tunes but this is the one I would really like to learn, just didn't know where to start! Spoke to Bert himself at a gig about it once and afterwards he showed me how it's done,(nice guy) but he said he would't play it in a set anymore, it's too bloody difficult! sorry to be a pain but could I please beg for the tab off you, I promise it won't go to waste.
Really good this is the first time I have ever seen anyone play this. I have the tab but playing it is something else!
On the sleeve notes for the River sessions which is an old live date from the 70's Jansch says when he relistened to the gig he was surprised to hear himself doing that live as it so hard.
If the man himself is hesitant to play it live and you are playing a great version of it you can tell yourself you are doing something right! Nice.
The quintessence of 60s' Folk song, so evocative.. (ok, some little mistakes, but the several bridges are very hard to play especially as I haven't got any tabs..so..if U can send it to me, I'll be very grateful) Thanks..?
Geat version penguin,but tell me,how'd you learn this? can't find a tab or a vid? you must be pretty shit hot to learn it by ear.
