Mr. Renbourn must be smiling up there. You're the King of folk on TH-cam with these flawless renditions of London's early folk masters. Could have been him at Les Cousins. Great.
I did three takes of this, this was the third. Felt the tempo of the first was too slow and there was an error I couldn’t get over in the second. I could swear I heard humming of the same notes in the same part that he vocalizes over when I was recording the second take. I felt like I heard it again when reviewing the audio of the second take but wrote it off as a figment of my imagination. I really wish I could have met John. We wanted to have him come for a workshop when I was teaching at UW but what was relayed was he didn’t feel like he was in good enough health to make the trip. He passed away a year or two later, the same year I left the university. By every account I ever heard, he was just the most delightful, wonderful, extraordinary person.
@@andrewlardner I never met him but reckon I saw him playing at a wine bar in Cheltenham UK in the mid 1960s without realising who he was. By the time Sir John Alot was released everybody was lifting and dropping the needle back and forth trying to understand how to emulate his magic - nobody quite managed it. If he's in your ear then take a leap and believe it. For me, you encapsulate the true essence of his musicianship and I've not heard that before. Thank you.
I recently found out that he did a workshop at Sandwich in Kent, which is about 30 minutes from my house, shortly before he died. To say I was mortified is an understatement. I did meet him once after a gig, though, and he was lovely. Completely unfazed by my reaction, which was like that of a 12 year old girl meeting Taylor Swift.
Andrew, that was superb! I had forgotten that wonderful piece. It's the pure essence of John's 60's/70's playing which I loved so much. You paid him the ultimate tribute with that rendition. Even your old Martin lends itself so well to the sound John got from his trusty Gibson J-50. I had the great pleasure of meeting him a couple of times when he was here in Ireland. A real gent was John. R.I.P to him.
Impressive! Very well played! Thanks also for the fine video. Makes it easy to see what you're doing, and maybe learn something. Mr. Renbourne would be proud.
Another amazing tune, thank you for sharing! I already learned "Judy" and "Chambertin" (Bert Jansch) with the help of your tutorials. And this will definitely be the next one.
Renbourn wouldn't be ashamed of that! Tell us all something: Your strings seem to respond to a very light touch. What are they--electric guitar strings? Rotosounds? Or do you have extremely low action? --Regardless, this and all your pieces on Patreon are musician's musician calibre, and well explained.
I use phosphor bronze 12s or 13s depending on guitar. I think most would consider the action I play at to be medium to high, that’s just based on what friends say after playing them.
@@andrewlardner Andrew, you must have fingers of steel. Great articulate playing. On the other side of the project I have, I'll want to get some lessons/help from your Patreon or other teaching. Thanks for getting back to me.

That is an awesome tune! Thanks for your continued dedication in bringing these exceptional tunes to our attention.
Wonderful! I had the privilege of seeing John Renbourn with Stefan Grossman in a small club about 35 years ago. Great players.

I feel you can hear the echoes of 'Anji' throughout this album, on this tune and 'Judy' especially. Thanks for sharing!!
I really this tune, which you play beautifully ... I love the middle eight with its embedded melodic line. Classic Renbourn .. wonderful! 🙏
Saw JR many, many times - with eyes closed, your rendition took me right back to those early days. Superb playing
Too kind, thank you.
Great job, Andrew, and wonderful song selection. Thanks.
This is as good as it gets!
Thanks Patrick!

Great tune with fine moves, well played. Thanks Andrew
Thanks, Andrew 💫💎💫
Woah.. that woke me up in a good way, great playing Andrew and thanks for turning me onto that song.
superb! thanks Andrew
Thank you!
Always great and the master of tone.
Renbourn did have great tone!
Another amazing tune, thank you for sharing! I already learned "Judy" and "Chambertin" (Bert Jansch) with the help of your tutorials. And this will definitely be the next one.
Yes sir!!
Love your sound production!
Goodness that is some finger pickin' right there. So good Andrew!
magnificent as always!
Absolutely amazing!
Excellent! 👍🏻
Wow. That was brilliant!
Love it
Thank you
Good on you buddy!
Sweet
me Cecilia again😆 _from second grade_
Fantastic work Andy! 🔥
Thank you Aaron.
Robbie Basho in the future please. Big fan of your playing ❤❤
It's a popular request on the Patreon, still trying to find something of his that I think would be perfect.
@@andrewlardner hahah that’s awesome to hear! Glad people want it. Thanks for the response
what kind of microphones did you use? the sound is great! what microphone would you recommend for a beginner home recording?
Andrew, do you learn the songs from Tab, or playing by ear? Sounds great either way, and I'd be curious to know...Thanks!
The YT channel has turned into a project where every month I choose a new song, research/transcribe/learn it, then teach it to others.
Great interpretation,Andrew. May I ask what the tuning is?
Looking at that guitar Andrew.....dang, is that like a 30's OM 18?
Close, 35 000-18
Very nice! What model Martin is that?
000-18
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, that's amazing, another Renbourn tune to learn, thank you!
By the way, in what year that Martin made?
Very late 1935
Well, it definitely got a woody and dry sound, it suits the genre and the time.
Plainsong is much better than Rainsong! At my skill level this will be a considerable project but you inspire me! Great choice!
now do "Plainsong" by the Cure
(sounds great!)
😂

Disregard my previous question - just read your bio!
I’m distracted by the Božo 🤤
