Excellent cover with very few flubbed fills; only real complaint is that the mic placement means the guitar overpowers your vocal, but that's a minor quibble... what tuning are you playing this in?

[TheAdamGray]

Thanks. The tuning is DGDGCD.

@dpiniella So I thought Martin played it in CGCGCD, but I'm not an authority. Your tuning, authentic or not appears to facilitat this "choon" quite well. Ta.

Well played. I haven't heard a lot of Martin Simpson, but from this it sounds like he's managed to synthesize Martin Carthy and Bert Jansch in some ways. Nice stuff.

nicely done sir

[TheAdamGray]

I appreciate that, thank you

[LetsKiosk]

Well played.

[TheAdamGray]

Thanks

Very good! Of course, love the guitar wish I could afford one... This one of my fav MS songs...

I quite recently transcribed this and learnt it, but I prefer to play it a bit faster.

[TheAdamGray]

I know what you mean, I think but I find the "Bramble Briar" version a bit on the quick side.

[saffsgrandad]

I have to say, sir, that I am envious as hell. Not only do you own the only guitar that I would swap my beloved Levin for, but you play the damn thing so well. I could grow to hate you so easily for no reason other than pure jealousy. Well done, your playing is a joy to listen to.

[TheAdamGray]

You are very kind, thanks.

[TheAdamGray]

Nice, good to see a new batch of videos.

[TheAdamGray]

Thanks, I think I'll probably re-record them all shortly but I thought I'd better do something!
