Watch this over your first coffee...a sweet way to start your day

Disagree with that...its not really a solo...but a lovely extension of the song which doesnt jangle when her voice comes back in...he is one of the finest acoustic folk guitarists of his generation...complex and technically perfect without being flash...deceptively simple....but maybe us guitarists just want to hear more playing!

[promerops]

Magnificent - just as you'd expect!

[AaranAardvark]

I love this video, both John and Jacqui look and sound great, thanks for posting, brilliant!

[TheGB1950]

This sounds as fine as the 70s recording of the same piece of music, I believe it was Pentangle with both of these perfectionists. fantastic.

[DougStoneent]

Her voice was all about purity and an almost emotionless form of singing in Pentangle. As if she were another instrument. Her voice has deepened and she imparts more feeling into her interpretation. Both styles are wonderful. It's wonderful to see how she's transitioned. He, as always plays guitar, brilliantly. Thanks for posting this.

@ThePeacefulCat The instrumental bit is awesome, as are both Renbourn and McShee.

Love JR's subtle inflections and nuances...the main man imo...

[1986billyk]

@jwpretd thanks...I have won many prizes for my understatements.[and yes, thats we folks in Scotland call irony!]..!...however, youve hit on the key to being a contented and hopefully, an interesting, player...dont try to copy, take out the heart and bones then make it your own..

John wont mind, thats what he and every other musician worth their salt has been doing, forever..

[jwpretd]

@wingandaprayer "deceptively simple"... right... Man, you are a *master* of understatement. Back when I thought I could play guitar, I tried to play some of Renbourn's stuff, just like I tried to play some of Fahey's. I finally quit, and spent my time doing something I was actually good at. I was a lot happier after that.
