Great stuff !! How i miss seeing the great man himself playing this live.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Thank you Brian, appreciate the comment. Do you play yourself ?

[@brianwilkie6079]

@DjNikGnashers just bought berts' latest guitar tab book. For the last couple of days, I've been learning "the carragh of kildare" It doesn't come easy for me but I'm hey I'm getting there.

@@brianwilkie6079 Great choice ! I just bought Bert Transcribed vol 2 myself, only a week ago (I had vol 1 for a few years now), they are both very good books, accurate TAB and some very good insights in the text about Bert's life etc, really interesting. If you haven't got it, another great book is 'British Fingerpicking Guitar' by MELBAY (it was compiled by Stefan Grossman), it has Davey Graham, Bert, and John Renbourn songs in. Another called 'John Renbourn fingerstyle guitar' by the same people, excellent.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. It's not too hard, just a couple of tricky bits, let me know if you manage to learn it and post a video, I'd love to listen.

Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment. Looking forward to ordering a new guitar in a few weeks, so hopefully I will be re-recording all these old songs, with my improved skills, on a lovely Lowden F50, exciting times !

Nice voice and nice playing - found you Nik

[@DjNikGnashers]

Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot coming from a superb musician like yourself sir.

[@TenWilder0]

This was a really nice cover. Bert Jansch was a rather interesting musician. I love his version of Blackwaterside.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Thank you, I agree Bert was a very interesting musician, and a very talented one too sir !

[@iankyoko]

I really enjoyed that. I liked the slightly slower tempo.
