Another Monday - by John Renbourn

[@PhilTaylorGuitar]

John wrote some amazingly complicated pieces that you seem to play with such ease. Hats off to you. Just excellent!

[@Chrisjwhit]

Yes, he had a nasty habit of writing pieces that were complicated or difficult to replicate. I'm currently working on 'The moon Shines Bright' which has some awful stretches in it. I think I may have to cheat and capo up to make the stretches less painful. Thanks again Phil and all the very best for Christmas and the new year

@@Chrisjwhit His speed and fluidity is really hard to replicate and some of his stuff requires it to sound right. You nailed it here

[@calbrucsamson5990]

That was wonderful. Totally tip top. Many thanks for all the videos you have added to your channel. I have found them entertaining and indispensable in my attempts to learn the guitar. Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones.

[@Chrisjwhit]

Thank you for your kind comments, I'm so pleased that you enjoy my guitar playing, that really means a lot. All the very best for Christmas and the New year

Awesome interpretation for this complex but so great piece !!

[@Chrisjwhit]

Thanks a lot!

[@domino631]

nice! by chance you don't know where i could pick up the tab for this! i have been looking for it everywhere to no avail!

[@Chrisjwhit]

Sorry, I learnt it from the playing of Clive Carroll

[@stephenbramlet3180]

A very good take on one of JR most difficult pieces I saw him play it in a pub in Brighton in the early 70’s and the audience was stunned.Btw what is that beautiful guitar ?

[@Chrisjwhit]

Thanks Stephen, its a Ralph Bown OM

[@JoshuaPolak]

Wow! How long did it take you to master this one? Great work!

[@Chrisjwhit]

Off and on about 25 years ! Recently the amazing Clive Carroll has shown me his version of it which is the closest I've heard to the original. I'm pleased you like it. All the best

@@Chrisjwhit Great Stuff. I regret never going to those Renbourn get togethers and taking a lesson with him when he was on this planet. I can play most things but his stuff gets really tricky and different; particularly the stuff on The Hermit.

[@Chrisjwhit]

I was fortunate to go to a few Renbourn workshops, I learnt a lot. I will hopefully be doing some more Renbourn tunes in the future, watch this space
