Golden Girl - John Martyn

By request!! If you can believe that.

Another oldie from London Conversation.

Apologies for a slightly bland vocal performance. All I can say is I was concentrating on trying to get the guitar part right. It's not because it was the hundredth take, honestly - though it probably looks that way from my rather unkempt appearance here!

Thanks to Loomskichoom for his excellent vid which got me started on it.

@cjwaywell

Many thanks for your comments.

[Waggonerslad]

Oh, and thanks for the comment btw. :)

Had a couple of goes at this and sang it a bit better I think but I had to go with the best guitar version!

I know what you mean about retuning guitars. I tend to have three kicking around in different tunings!

I think he used some alternative tunings even then. Run Honey Run is an open tuning for one.

NIce laid back treatment, I thought the vocals were quite decent actually- and good pickin'. A JM tune in standard tuning eh!!! I think I need another guitar now (cos' I hate retuning my 2 already in dadgad and cfccgd), and you've inspired me to have a crack at this.

I'd also value your opinion: do you reckon all the stuff on London Conversation was in standard by the way? Its a while since I played this album but offhand I seem to think that may be the case.

Anyway, nice stuff yet again.
