John was peerless. He had such a light touch and tone to die for. He really made that Gibson J50 sing like a skylark. I had the pleasure of his company on two occasions and he was such a modest and gentle person.
I remember seeing this when it was broadcast. As a young guitarist I just couldn't fathom what on earth he was doing. All the folkies I knew strummed in C!
This is a glorious noise to be able to make and the man was a genius. But would you look at those boots. Good heavens. Music to make one sob and shod like a god
The B section with those sort of counter rhythm fills underneath the main melody are pretty difficult to wrap your head around I think and you end up just having to feel it out. Also, in the bluesy section when it goes all fast towards the end down at first position I find near impossible to play smoothly at tempo. However, I still feel a sense of accomplishment that I can even play this at all!
Wow...he was such an innovator in so many ways. this is just one of many many remarkable compositions by this master musician. Thank you for uploading this rare performance.
My pleasure! I found it going through some old hard drives and tried to see if it was already on youtube... it wasn't and I felt it needed to be put out for all to discover (and so that I could never lose it!)
@@guitarchitectural I read about it on his website. This was part of a performance for a T.V. show, which showcased different guitar styles. he was commissioned to write a "folk piece" and he knocked out this incredible tune. Thanks again.
Here's the entire vid, J Renbourn and associates (1973) : th-cam.com/video/c0r42Th0Y8c/w-d-xo.html He was an incredible guitar player, so clean, precise, and talented, perhaps my favorite. You can feel, on set, the respect of the other stars guitar players about him, or am I dreaming? I read here that "Rosslyn" was tabbed, I think I will try it, just hope that John won't be listening to what we do down here. Thx a lot for your music Mr Renbourn, and thx to you guitararchitectural.
Huge fan. His right hand technique seems so unique. For example, his fingers often seem to be parallel (instead of perpendicular) to the strings.And his hand just seems to float; I do not see him bracing it in place by planting the little finger on the guitar top.
He was a trail blazer. So many today are standing on his shoulders.

He glides across that fret with brilliance. BERT and JOHN back together again in HEAVEN

That was incredible, looked like he was at the top of his game there.
Just one of 100's that John plays, which amaze me, and make me want to spend the rest of my life learning to play.

John looks so relaxed playing that tune.
Just superb his J50 and playing of course so much more character than later guitars love the break into Shake Shake Mama Thanks for upload
Assolutamente fantastico ❤
John tabbed this, it is very clever and surprisingly not too difficult to play. You can find it under the title Notation.
The B section with those sort of counter rhythm fills underneath the main melody are pretty difficult to wrap your head around I think and you end up just having to feel it out.
Also, in the bluesy section when it goes all fast towards the end down at first position I find near impossible to play smoothly at tempo.

These eventually became two of the songs which ended up on his Lost Sessions album, To Glastonbury and The Young Man's Song!!💜
No words.....
Agreed.
You have already been thanked for this beauty. Allow me to repeat that.
Fantastico!

R.I.P. John Renbourn phenominal picker.
To think somewhere in the shadows behind john is none other then jeff beck among other guitar giants of the time witnessing renbourn lay it down
Enchanted fingers
Anybody know the tuning? I thought DADGAD initially, but I'm not sure.
