I stumbled upon a concert he performed in Santa Cruz in 1982 or '83 and was blown away. Several years later, and in another state, the Montessori teacher for my son told me Basho performed at her wedding.

You know the "infinite monkey theorem"? Well my friends dad gets really drunk and thinks hes playing guitar when in reality he is just haphazardly plucking open chords and thinks its something. My point is, My friends dad is the monkey to Robbie Basho's Shakespeare. Except it will be a long time before he struggles this masterpiece out of him.

Robbie earned his place in guitar greats for my personal list. Unique and beautiful
I discovered him on KZbin last summer. Original talent of incredible skill and depth. No one like him, but also glad to have discovered Nick Drake, the Van Gogh of modern music, and Sixto Rodriguez, from Detroit of all places, and Karen Dalton, who was only recently discovered though she made a few albums in the seventies. One of her great songs, something on your mind, was written by her acquaintance, Dino Valenti , once the singer of the incomparable San Francisco band, Quick Silver. I should not forget to mention Jackson Frank, who made one album in mid sixties...a masterpiece. Strange to think that all these people could have met, as all had a connection to New York City.

Basho had a great pedigree and an incredible talent mixed with a truly unique sound. Added to the fact that fleeting few of us out here seem to know this man’s works makes him a truly hidden gem. I would like to see his back catalogue have a mild explosion of popularity due to being prominently featured in a film, that would be nice. More need to know as I am just discovering

There's a good Basho archive --very googlable--that has some of the songs in tab & a couple yahoo groups that are devoted to him, and finding out tunings etc. some songs are surprisingly easy to work out bit by bit with knowing the tuning and following with the music. Others.. are not.

I bought a kindle tab book from Italy that is terrible.There is not a single correct note in the transcriptions. In recent years I have studied with the best guitar teacher of my lifetime.We tabbed about 4 or 5 Basho songs and I think we found a better way to play" Blue Crystal Fire" than what several folks on YT demonstrate. We tabbed out" Rodeo" and "German chocolate Cake" dead on.I could send copies by email if you email me a address.

For those wondering the tuning in this song is DFCFAC. The main riff type things are done on the high e string, slides from 5 to 9th fret, then 9th to 12th and back to 9th then 7th.
