She Moved Through The Fair - traditional, arr. Bert Jansch (cover)

My attempt at She Moved Through The Fair. I was listening to Bert Jansch's version of this song and thought I'd try to work it out. My guitar was tuned to Open G and it seemed to fall into place really easily. The only trouble is that I've never heard that Bert uses this tuning so ... and I've added a couple of verses from the original that he doesn't sing. That's folk ! Bert probably uses dropped D

Je viens juste de voir la version de Jansch et j'aime bien la tienne que j'avais déjà commentée et qui utilise les mêmes accords semble t'il . Quel en est le tuning ?

@glaoud Merci, J.C. Ici j'utilise Open G, c'est assez proche de la version de Bert Jansch, mais je pense maintenant qu'il est en standard. Je ne suis pas absolument certain mais je crois que Bert n'utilise que standard et dropped D avec de temps en temps des morceaux en DADGAD (Go Your Way, The First Time Ever et St Fiacre)

Composition and your interpretation of it strike gentle chords with my heart! Love this song for a long time! Great upload!

@MsAndi63 Thanks very much :o)

Great version fella......have you got the tabs you use?

[LiteGauge]

@MAXlMUS66 Sorry, but I don't use tabs. If you google "Jansch Moved through Fair tabs", you should find tabs that you can adapt quite easy - raise anything of top string by 2 frets, raise anything on the 6th or 5th strings by 2 frets, due to change of tuning.

@LiteGauge Merci John. Il est vrai que Bert n'utilise que les accordages que tu cites ,en tout cas le tien rend bien .J.C.

Awesome! I've been playing this a lot lately. Bert plays it in standard tuning fyi, with a capo at the second or third (he seems to mix it up).

@MrRagAndBoneMan1 Cheers, Nick :o)
