Good stuff. This was/is immensely helpful for me while learning the song, opposed to just using tabs, standard notation and ear. Having you walk through it in detail is like having a private tutor. Thank you for posting.

[@stephen25uk]

Good lesson. Nice pace and attention to detail is excellent.

[@MsDormy]

Thank you for this! I never thought I would be able to tackle such a complex but lovely piece... really nice lesson :-)

[@Bluesintheearth1]

Hey, you're welcome, that's great to hear! :)

[@kirbysheldon4103]

Yes. Nice pace and attention to all the details referencing frets, strings, hammers/pull-offs.

[@MIKE-TYTHON]

[@GenghisKon]

Thanks man, you really helped me figure out some of the tricky parts. My channel isn't much (I started uploading a few days ago), but I might post a cover of this today. Thank you again!

Thanks so much, brilliant 🙂

[@32hamo]

great lesson again mate

[@Bluesintheearth1]

Hi John, thanks.

[@mariekaada5367]

It is a pity, but the camera angle is really bad. I can´t see which fret you are on or what finger you are using.

[@ramOm420]

Please, how is the tuning in the 3 fret and DADF#AD or DADGAD..? Its confused for me, thanks

[@nigelmccluskey]

With clarity,you are very close to Berts style xx

[@Bluesintheearth1]

Nigel Mccluskey Hi Nigel, thank you for the kind words! - Ben

[@irishelk3]

You have such soft eyes.

[@AndyLeece]

Hi, is there any chance you could do a tutorial for strolling down the highway? ive searched youtube but cant find anything.

[@kingrobert1st]

Nir Mehlman does it and mostly other Bert & John covers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjOiJ-JqrVrZqM&frags=pl%2Cwn

Check out our version of Black Mountain Side originating from Bert's beautfiul Black Waterside Black Mountain Side- Jank and Gander You can find us at facebook.com/jankandganderband

[@Bluesintheearth1]

Awesome guys, thanks for sharing!

[@josephedwards4325]

You could make this instructional video a whole lot better by just angling your guitar slightly more towards the camera, so people can see what you're playing.

You're a demi god

[@DKWGASDNEPR]

How is the guitar tuned? Drop D or DADGAD????

[@Bluesintheearth1]

HI Hans, that's DADGAD tuning.

[@freebornjohn6876]

It's drop D. This is Bert Jansch's original arrangement of the tune. Jimmy Page's similar arrangement was played it in DADGAD.

[@gregshirley-jeffersonboule6258]

Jimmy Page needs to see this video.

[@zootszabo2415]

And Bert sings to it lol

[@lynnpehrson8826]

Now you too can play like Jimmy page

[@qwadratix]

Terrible echo on the sound track really spoils this otherwise excellent tutorial

[@pippipster6767]

Guitar itself sounds a bit ropey - think you need an upgrade

[@kingrobert1st]

Rattled like a can of rusty old nails.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Guitar's fine.... Mic angle, more than the guitar.

[@pierrelebras6211]

from pierre. your version is not accurate at all. sorry but you should listen to the record closely rather than read some tab .I ve been playing jansch and renbourn for nearly 50 years all learned by ear and feel very disapointed to see how many people sabotage their songs on you tube. hope they cannot hear all that from their graves.keep working

[@Ukulele_Ad]

+pierre lebras Show us your moves Pierre

[@pierrelebras6211]

+Adam Lewis hello Adam you can see my version on you tube also and hope you can tell the diference.no hard feelings I'm just very much critical when it comes to playing jansch and renbourn music.

[@joaquinodriozola4963]

+pierre lebras you kidding? your channel is as empty as your words!

[@cheapsurrealist]

Jesus, Pierre lighten up. You've been playing for 50 years? Try learning how to type. Your punctuation is atrocious. And your channel has no videos on it. Not even a profile pic. Therefore, you don't exist.

[@mauriciobmrocha]

He never said it was completely accurate. He starts the lesson explaining that he worked on some tab he found and will try to show how things works, but makes it clear it is just a starting point. Your comment is unnecessary because anyone who is as good as you as a guitar player do not need KZbin lessons at all.
