"Angie," by Davy Graham arr. Bert Jansch

My July Patreon lesson seeks to reclaim all of the nuance in Bert Jansch's original recording of "Angie" that has been lost to time. Come hang out with us as we micro-analyze every note of this classic arrangement. / andrewlardnerguitar

I've never seen anyone put this together so well. What a brilliantly controlled and faultless performance. That's the real thing. Absolute perfection. Stunned.

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you!

[@endamcloughlin5345]

Blown away by that performance. Absolutely excellent.

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you. Worked really hard on trying to honor Bert with this one

[@endamcloughlin5345]

@@andrewlardner absolutely nailed it mate. Trying to get it down myself at the moment - plenty of work left to do for me :)

[@justme-wh5li]

Good clean version. Thanks for uploading.

[@nathankinnaman595]

Bruh, that is def one of the best play throughs of this tune Ive heard.... and you know how much we heard it at the UW

[@rosewoody]

Perfect execution, beautiful woody thump, great guitar, great player.

[@andrewlardner]

Many thanks!!

[@johntait491]

Really well played Andrew. I remember learning this tune way back in the early 70's when it was on everyone's "to learn" list. 😉

[@skyrock1759]

The rasgueado in this song is so dope, the way you play it too is very true to the original album version, I noticed in the live videos of Bert playing this song that usually he’ll omit the individual finger rasgueados for a 4 finger single beat version, such a difficult technique but you make it look easy, kudos my friend 🥂

[@michele21auntiem]

Magnificent!

[@dono1606]

Wonderful! Thank you Andrew!

[@nashwilliams5852]

Awesome to hear.

[@eliotlandy2798]

Fabulous.👏👏👏

[@stevegrodis2426]

Nice job. I like this arrangement, it's similar to what Paul Simon played on the Sound of Silence LP.

[@mistershpinks8666]

Best Angie performance on KZbin! Thank you!

[@jsullivan2112]

Wow, very well played.

[@madame-legurts5575]

Excellent!! I've been listening to the three best versions (Jansch, Davy's own version and Paul Simon's more clinical version) - and trying to learn it - for 50 years. I still can't play it. Great version...

[@aidanfeldman9739]

How did I never see this coming? Amazing !

[@Airproofin]

Perfect Andy. I almost have Room 8 under my fingers thanks to you - cant wait to tackle this next!

[@LaxLennart]

Incredible. This is my favorite version of this song, even more so than Bert Jansch's original. It's the flawless guitarplaying in combination with this old guitar that does it I think.

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you Lax, I’m glad you enjoyed the recording.

[@bromarbuildz-oy7ls]

Bert jansch wasn't the original

[@LaxLennart]

@@bromarbuildz-oy7ls yup that is true, its an old folk song so who knows who first created it

[@arch_6133]

[@michaeljoevitale]

Excellent really enjoyed! The bass thud on the guitar is sweet, wish I had that one

[@andrewlardner]

Thank you. I love these 30s 000 Martins but personally would not pay the price they’re going for recently. I think a lot of people buying them right now are going to get burned if they hope to get their money back out of them some day.

[@paulcatterall6022]

Simply amazing!👏👏👏

[@rickynyhoff]

Oh my. Thanks for that one, buddy. So much attitude.

[@HarbottleAndJonas]

This is grand, nicely done!

[@MrMichaelFenner]

Nailed it dude. You're inspiring me to play more recently which I greatly appreciate! Miss you like crazy man! All the best.

[@petersmith9530]

totally awesome .thank you for posting.

[@rzadam]

Great execution and sweet tone!

[@stefanoragni6972]

Perfect as always. Andy the beard touch the strings!!!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Had to come by and watch again. Excellent. Subscribed. Time for more goodies like this one. PS I have owned about 15 Martins since 1961, currently a 2015 00-18V with highly flamed mahogany backs and sides and a, 1 of 370, 0000-1 from 1997.

[@andrewlardner]

Very nice. One of my students has a newer OM that I think is a tremendously good sounding instrument. Have been considering cashing out some of the old guitars and buying new. Prices getting ridiculous on the pre war stuff

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@andrewlardner When I was "buying" back in the 60s 70s and into the early 80s.. guitars were old and used. Now they are vintage and the prices are obscene. The culprits, hustlers such as the infamous Mandolin Bros ruined it for everyone. Surprise!! Martin and Gibson made some real dogs.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

@@andrewlardner I just bought another "used" Martin A 1998 J-1, one of 1145 made. (I no longer buy new Martins) It is exactly the same as my 1997 0000-1 with the exception of a full dreadnaught depth. It's a killer guitar. Came back to watch "Angie" again, best rendition I have heard/watched. Thanks.

it would be great if you played the song by Leo Kottke called "Shadowland" is a masterpiece

[@holzhausholz8215]

Is that Jethro Tull at 1:22? Amazing cover!

[@andrewlardner]

It’s from a Nat Adderley piece titled “Work Song”

[@kingrobert1st]

Playing along with you I noticed you're not quite in tune to the standard 440 for A. But well played!

[@andrewlardner]

I also sometimes preheat the oven to 430 instead of 450.

[@jchunter6717]

Nice!! What year/model is that Martin? Definitely going to have to learn this tube on mine

[@andrewlardner]

Thanks for watching as always. It’s a 000-18 from 1935

[@jchunter6717]

Wow. I have a 000-18 from 1960. had a neck reset done last year as it was unplayable. Now I play it all the time.

[@andrewlardner]

@@jchunter6717 I’d really like to try a post war 000-18. The pre wars are awesome, don’t get me wrong, but the guitar is braced so light I couldn’t imagine playing it hard with picks.
