Absolutely beautiful ..Burt Jansch has been my favourite acoustic guitarist since my teenage years & I'm 57 this year.His album with Hope Sandoval vocalist with Mazzy 🌟 is too lovely for words ..Well done you're an impressive guitarist 😊
Sounding quite good! Please post the entire song. I used to own one of those L series Yamahas and they are indeed nice guitars. I understand that Bert used to strings his with very light strings, especially for a dreadnought.
Greatest cover I’ve found on TH-cam so far! How come everyone plays it with the capo on the 3rd fret? I learned it from the record and it’s definitely the 4th.
@@Steven_Ray99 Thanks man. You’re right, the original recording is pitched at the 4th fret. I have heard rumours however that the record was sped up (which was quite common in those days apparently) so that more music could fit onto a side of vinyl, which was limited to a certain amount of minutes. This would cause the song to sound slightly higher in pitch of course. It does sound to me that this is a possibility when you listen to the recording closely. He could have been at the 3rd fret but I guess we can’t know for sure!
Hi Dariush This brings back fond memories of you teaching me all those Bert tunes on Zoom during lock down. Thank you so much. Not yet up to your standard on this! - but thanks to you I’m better than I ever thought possible. Hope all is well with you and hope to catch up some day- you never know… Will you be doing any workshops anytime soon? Best wishes Dan
I suppose it may be possible given your level of absorbing Bert as you have featured here that at some point in the future you may also offer a cover of Skip James ? You got the goods ! Awesome cover offering here by you kind sir' ! `LIKED'
No way..( sorry I went from English to American then) 😆..I thought you meant it was a a Butt Jansch model guitar ,is that his?? If so you lucky thing !

Superb cover

Very nicely played. Such a shame it cuts off abruptly after only 50 seconds. It would be nice to hear the whole piece.

That performance that features Bert wearing those red and white striped socks really reveals Skip James's influence upon his playing style .
Nice!
Stellar! How's it tuned?
Thanks! It’s in dropped D tuning (DADGBE).
???? You got Berts Yamaha???
Just hanging onto it for a while 👍
@@dariushkananimusic8049 I'm sure there will be his character and aura in the wood, he would be proud. Enjoy every second ❤️
When did Bert get or buy that Yamaha ?
No way..( sorry I went from English to American then) 😆..I thought you meant it was a a Butt Jansch model guitar ,is that his?? If so you lucky thing !
