Best version I have seen on the web - taken from McTells cover, but reproduced very well indeed. One comment though..........slow it down a little, as the singing is not natural at the speed you play - although it does show off your guitar skills!

I look forward to watching your other posts.

Andrew,

Thanks Andrew. Yes, I do tend to gallop away when I play.

Hope you like the other vids

blimey - i have just begun learning the guitar - will i ever be able to play it like you can??

Hi, thanks for the positive comment. Just keep plugging away and practice every day (or at least as often as you can) and don't get downhearted if you hit a tough patch. I've been playing for over forty odd years, I'm still learning and at times still get exasperated when my fingers won't do what I want them to.

Forgot: the record mentioned was published in 1981.

Sorry, and I hate to say, but this sure ain't the best version of "Hesitation Blues" by Ralph McTell.

I do not know where (which) label originally published it, but I have it on a HEP (Golden Label) HN 4151.

But as far as I can see: it's a Dutch Release.

Title: Ralph McTell - Streets of London

(What did you expect?)

Nice album.

Anyway, That version of "Hesitation Blues" is memorable.

Thanks very much for the great feedback and coming from a good picker like yourself - it's twice as nice
