THE BRITISH FOLK GUITAR - PHIL HARE DOES NIC JONES!

Phil talks about early influences and attempts to remember a couple of tunes from way back! At some point, poor light was almost stopping play! This video is dedicated to the much missed and highly influential English guitarist Nic Jones. If you see any of his recent (lovingly mastered) CD compilations, I would urge you to buy. Not forgetting of course, the classic 'Penguin Eggs' from which 'Planxty Davis' was lifted.

Phil that is wonderful. Do you know if tab exists for those tunes? And what tuning ate you using?

@malcolmpaine Hi Malcolm. Thanks for your comment. The tuning is CGCGCD (C with an add 9). If you go to my website there are some basic shapes shown (should you need them to get started). With regard to a tab; because I make my living from music, I make a small charge of £2 per tab (easily done through PAYPAL) and I can send you one if you message me with a private e-mail address. All the best. Phil

Incredible sounds. I love the English style, vocal and words. The tone of that guitar is amazing even on YouTube it comes through very clearly. Beyond compare.

@clarkewi Thank you. All the best.

Hi Phil, I have added a video response. I have taken some liberties with your arrangement- I hope you don't mind (this is folk music after all !) A truly beautiful tune and your arrangement is very inspiring :)
