  • Blew my hair back!

  • He is obviously great, but I just can't help feeling this song is much better played a bit slower.

    It was 42 years ago when I first heard this guy play guitar, him, Jansch, Roy Harper, et al, were pulling Folk Music out of that boring 'beer glass in one hand, other hand clapped over ear, whilst singing' genre, did it for me though,it made me pick up a guitar, and learn to play, ( not as good as those guys though!)

  • 30 years ago my girlfriend gave me a tape of Lady and the Unicorn and it was off to the races. I never played guitar the same way again. Thanks John.

    BTW, why does this guy always look blasted? There's even a picture of him and Bert Jansch together and they both look blotto. That settles it! In my next life I want to be John Renbourn! Play great guitar and be 'happy' all the time!

  • It's as if the guitar is another limb on his body. He plays with no effort at all. He just puts his hands on the guitar, and it's there.

  • ha hes using an old school capo... i have one like that.... there awful

  • 2 people are jealous.

  • First heard this from the City Waites. Didn't know Renbourn had done it but it doesn't surprise me.

  • i used to play this. learned it off an album with a bunch of period instruments, and when the fiddle kicked in on this one it was like an old barn dance, all it needed was sheep bleating in the background!

  • Cool, I like that.

  • @budders444

    It's English folk dance. Like most folk dances they start fast and get faster :) You should listen to some Bulgarian wedding band music if you want to hear *really* fast folk music.

  • Esto es tocar la guitarra y lo demás, tonterías.
