  • Nicely done ~ always considered this one of JR's most dextrous pieces when he was at his technical zenith

  • @doubleotwentyone Thanks and agreed. Interesting comment in the music notes - 'Take this one fairly fast and not at all seriously'!

  • I think I had the same book out of the library once. I didn't have a clue how to read music so learned the basics and picked out each tune note by note very slowly. By the end of the book, I was able to sight read and from there took up classical guitar seriously. Now I'm playing Bach. Taking that book out of the library was the best decision I ever made!

  • Great story and good to know JR was inspirational and enough of an influnce to get you to learn standard notation. I struggled with std notation for some time but was relieved when more tab became available - didn't have your stamina :-). Tab though was the form for lute music originally so it's a pretty old notation. Ironically JRs book has a 1 page copy of original lute music in tab form.

  • Wow!  I haven't heard this piece in years! Really brings back memories. I worked this piece up off of the original album many years ago. Thanks for posting. Where can I get the music to this?? Would love to work it up again. Thanks. -Derek

  • Thanks for the comments! There are a couple of other versions on YouTube also. I got the music years ago in the UK from a book by JR published by Oak Publications (standard notation). It's also available on an instructional DVD by JR called the Jazz Tinge. I think the tab is on the DVD itself.

  • @plugh1 sounds like Renbourn...saw him at the QEH around this time, a bit earlier, Lady and the Unicorn period, started Lady Nothynge, fluffed it, laughed and started again ~ huge applause for that...

  • Effectivement quand j'ai commencé à jouer sur des cordes métal,j'ai compris ma douleur!

  • Merci encore. Je suis d'accord à propos des "tirés", mais je préfère jeu avec des cordes nylon.

  • Ca sonne bien avec des cordes nylon, mais les "tirés"

    (Bends)font moins d'effet. Cette piéce est difficile.

    Vive John Renbourn !Bravo.
