Angie (Bert Jansch) - Guitar Lesson

[@TyzerD3]

This is the most fun I've ever had playing the guitar. Thanks so much for doing this. I've only mastered the first 3 phrases but it's so much fun when you get one down!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

You're very welcome. Yeah it really is so much fun to play once you've mastered it.

[@MyLux777]

Know this is 2 years ago, but dear prudence is another really fun one to master. It'll strain your hands cause ya gotta do that pinky reach but hella fun once you get it down.

[@RandomYTshortvids]

Brilliant - as always. No waffle, clear instruction , the right speed to make it as easy as possible and an accurate version of the original tune. Thank you!!!!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks so much for your positive feedback!

[@actsbrithael]

This is great. Perfect pace. Thank you, 'little bit fiddley but great fun' is exactly right

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks Joseph, glad you like it.

[@dianegordon5366]

Thanks! It truly is a fun piece. Davey Graham's mother, btw, is from Guyana. In a way, this piece is part of the British folk revival, but also the Latin American guitar continuum.

[@swagmundfreud666]

My dad went to see a niel young show about a decade ago. Before the young came on, an old guy came on the stage, my dad thought he was there to clean it or something. Anyways, he sat down with an acoustic guitar and my dad said that it was the greatest guitar player he has ever seen in person. The man was Bert Jansch, only a few months before he died. My dad had never heard of him before then

[@toastedsniper9248]

Wow. That is so awesome.

[@toastedsniper9248]

This song has been stuck in my head for the past 2 weeks. Finally have some time on my hands to learn it. Cant wait to get home. Thanks for the tutorial brother.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

You're really very welcome!

[@SirScabs]

Yes!! I was hoping you would do this song someday

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I don't know why it took me so long to do this one.

[@fazz1988]

Best fingerpicking teacher on KZbin hands down... thanks, love playing this!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate that

[@phillipgoodin3907]

Hi from Colorado...Jansch Time....thankyou!

[@heyasasha]

Hey, many thanks for the great lesson. It's taken a couple of weeks of solid learning and practice but now it's playing well and I'm checking part two on the website. Again, thanks for the song!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

That's great Alex! Yeah this one is harder than it seems at first, keep it up!

[@jaimealexisedades8871]

Nice really! 😊

[@simontomasi9548]

one of the best guitar lessons i have ever come across - thank you very much!!

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks a lot Simon and you're very welcome

[@learningguitar2693]

I'm actually getting the hang of this! Thanks so much mate.

[@yashmaharaj5647]

You're a godsend my friend.. thank you!

[@teddmagsig2977]

Well done!

[@martinratcliffe5987]

Hi, in the second section, I don't understand why it's important to use the f shape. I get the same notes staying in the Am. Please can someone kindly explain

[@Doc_Tom]

Agreed 😊

[@quietstorm6896]

Amazing song and lesson, thanks a lot

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks

[@brunosolci7944]

Thanks a lot. Great lesson! Hesitation Blues by Jorma Kaukonen lesson? Anyway, thanks again!

[@anonymousperson32123]

Love the lesson!! Can anyone tell me why we would switch to the F when we never hit our D string on that part? (The second part shown, before the Em change)

[@anonymousperson32123]

possibly just to make it easier to wrap thumb round?

[@Oreoman2002]

You can get away without it. I hold the Am pretty much the whole song, but I might just have big hands.

[@davidkopec5587]

I had exactly the same thought.

[@jimguitarfan]

I would agree with so many comments here about the clarity of your video lessons. I downloaded Big Love, which I would say is right at the limit of my fingerpicking and I can't even get close to Lindsey Buckingham's speed...but it is great fun! I was struggling to reconcile the TAB I downloaded from your site with your video, and I just realised that there seem to be two versions there. I think I have bought the Davey Graham arrangement, which explains it I guess. It seems to differ quite a lot. Never mind, I think I will manage it with the help of the videos, as the key is the same and there are other similarities. This is another quite tricky but fun piece, so thank you. Great channel and great tutor, sir!

[@harrybaldwin7517]

My hands are cramping up but I've finally got a couple phrases down. Learning this one is gonna keep me occupied for a while

[@samuelabbottchannel]

Awesome tutorial as always! Does anyone have any tips to avoid muting the high E string when reaching for that Am/G?

[@darraghobrien1028]

Try to keep your fingertips nice and perpendicular to the fretboard, apart from that it's all just practice and being careful!

[@phillipgoodin3907]

If the guitar is tipping toward you..try giving it a more perpendicular to the floor angle..the string might clear...kmg

[@Rajesh23739]

Please give the tabs also in the description

[@DavidMather-bh6us]

Hi there....I'll have to back what someone else said,you are the best teacher for fingerstyle on here...and I've tried others n the not half as clear on their style...watched your top 100 fingerstyle songs the other day,god knows how you remember all those songs because I couldn't...but yeah I've learnt everything fingerstyle from u because your the best tutor ie most recently Aril come she will...just finished it,also "feeling groovy" which is the first song i learnt from u and also "the wind" and now this I'm ready to start...which is belter, massive bert fan and pentangle,fan of all of what i mentioned and more Nick drake,Roy harper,john martyn,Crosby stills n nash,so one more thing I would be made up if you could do a Crosby stills and nash song called "helplessly hoping" or any of the first album but really like this song n also Nick drake who i knows he's got a unique style but anything by him,i would be made up because as i said your the best tutor on here hands down and fantastic guitarist...keep up the good work buddy!👍✌

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

That’s so kind of you to say, thanks a lot and I’m really pleased that you like my lessons! Thanks for requests too!

[@grantward5587]

Question! Do I need to hold down the full F chord in the second part, or can I just put my index finger on fifth string first fret while leaving the other strings open?

[@peterprice6365]

Why is the F cord formed, when D string doesn't appear to be played>

[@Oreoman2002]

You can get away without it, I hold the Am pretty much the whole song.

[@carolinaruiz1218]

eternal thankyous

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

You're welcome

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

Is that an 000-18, looks like mine I got today! Thanks for the lesson

[@thomasrademaker233]

i love this song so much, is there any similar songs you've made tutorials for?

[@8randal6]

why do you switch to the F shape if the ring finger is never played? is it not just the A and E

[@TheMAAAAAAAAREN]

Awesome lesson!! Would you consider a lesson for Casbah of Bert Jansch ?

[@buulany]

Could you do a lesson on Happy Again by Chet Atkins ?

[@seamusbrowne4909]

Dig the Rasqueado Technique!!!😮😯😲

[@iaindouglas2428]

How long, generally, does it take for Tab to become available Chris?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Sometimes it's just a few days, sometimes it's a few months. Guess it all depends on the publisher's workload.

[@DoodlesMusic]

Hi, great stuff! Does the guitar you're playing have a 1and 3/4 inch nut?

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks, honestly I have no idea about the size of the nut

[@TheMicrofox]

Hi, where can I find a playthrough of your arrangement? I always want to hear how an arrangement sounds before I learn it. Thanks.

[@TheMicrofox]

Never mind - I found it. ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b52ZZGZqatiqmas

[@lochlancooney2114]

Leaving time stamps for where I practised to: 6:40

[@GodotCodeSnippets]

By the way, if you could do a ‘if I had a rocket launcher’ - bruce cockburn tutorial, that would make my year. Thanks for all your time and tips!

[@jeremylewis628]

Great tutorial but i found that switching to the F position is kind of pointless and makes the pattern more complicated than it needs to be. I play it just find leaving my fingers in the Am position because the D string is never even touched through the entire song. What's the purpose of you switching to that shape? Just curious.

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

I tend to hold down the shape of whichever chord I’m playing, I think it tends to lead to all round good technique. That’s all

[@GodotCodeSnippets]

You have taught me how to make love to my guitar. Thank you

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Haha, you're welcome

[@Feelingawesome0]

This is very accurate to the bert jansch version 👍

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

Thanks

[@davidkopec5587]

start of section C kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LZoHyAZb92ga8

[@shreyanpradhan8654]

Such a simple thing lesson plz

[@gizmotv9320]

Try the original version by Davy Graham. It's less complicated and better

[@dalleinneyves]

Time to put myself a timestamp ;) : 6:03

[@melq1549]

Btw i wrote a song thanks to your fingerpicking patterns:)

[@SixStringFingerpicking]

That's great, good for you man.

[@tenniswilliam]

My understanding is that the song is Anjii

[@AJChen-lw6ju]

That's the name of the Paul Simon version of the song. Bert Janch's is called Angie

[@lupinbrabablebix9840]

Why do you need a capo if you’re not singing, what’s wrong with playing it in A min

[@andrewparfitt5899]

this is the definitive version great lesson. the paul simon version has no swing and is boring

[@freebornjohn6876]

I agree. Bert is best!

[@gizmotv9320]

The original is the best version

[@melq1549]

First

[@gizmotv9320]

What's first?

[@gizmotv9320]

Davy Graham wrote anji and played it first

[@rhysmeyrick615]

As soon as you make a face….

[@elizabethgriffiths8314]

awful u go way too fast

[@8randal6]

love berts version of this song and like the video ... but i find it really difficult to follow when every note is explained. i only pick up the tune up when you play sections in slow motion. at this level i dont need my hand holding. for example i dont need to hear third fret second string then second fret first string then forth fret fith string ... it just makes it impossible to pick up the pattern or tune. have a look over at SHUTUPANDPLAY guitar lessons on youtube this being said your video is the only one i found with a bert jansch version of the song and you clearly know your music and i wouldnt have got far in this song without you thank you for the video
