30 years ago i sat in my rocking chair by my log burner in small village uk, my record player playing john renbourn relaxing, no i internet back then, he is superb.

[@NickBrightwell]

Thanks for sharing!

[@saharsilverman5462]

Nick, your playing is absolutely magnificent. This is the best version of John Renbourn's work that I have ever seen.. so so close to the original... as a previous comment has stated thank you thank you thank you for keeping his music alive. Please do more!

[@NickBrightwell]

Wow, thank you!

[@HenryMcGuinnessGuitar]

The harmonics at the beginning sound even better than in the original recording - so nice to hear them ringing out like that

[@NickBrightwell]

Thanks, Henry.

[@davidtower3093]

Nick Allbright, you are one of the finest guitar players I have ever seen! You play The Nine Maidens better than Renbourn himself. You obviously have a classic background. Very impressive!

[@NickBrightwell]

@davidtower3093 Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching. I strived to play it to Renbourns standard but there's no surpassing the Great Hermit! I adopted a classical playing position so I could physically play this whole suite as well as the other pieces in the concert, at the time it was hard on the hands to play such a wide range of demanding material. I'll be posting the whole concert soon! Thank you once again.

[@gregbatchelor9205]

Stunning, stunning, spectacular, timeless... Just awesome man, thank you.

[@NickBrightwell]

Greg Batchelor thank you, Greg. I’ll be posting a lesson video soon if interested!

[@anSAMations]

This never ceases to be the best piece of guitar music I've ever heard, and you've preformed it incredibly too. Great stuff.

[@NickBrightwell]

Thank you, kind sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

[@hackerguitar]

This is a magnificent read of The Nine Maidens.

[@NickBrightwell]

Cheers, Matt!

[@MaxLatham]

Joel Renbourn is the son of John Renbourn (he plays punk bass guitar). Nick, as one guitarist to another, I think this rendition of yours is superb. Respect.

[@NickBrightwell]

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

[@coreymihailiuk5189]

A wonderful job!

[@NickBrightwell]

Thank you!

[@MulwalkPlayer]

that's amazing, hope one day I can play like this

[@NickBrightwell]

Thank you. Take it one piece at a time and give it a few years! It took me 4 years to get it to this point!

[@lindsay.newman]

absolutely awesome...thank you, Ive so enjoyed your performance

[@NickBrightwell]

Thank you, sir!

[@ilan34512]

Nick thank you so much for this post. This rendition is awesome!! With the other fellow Gonbe, this is the best John 's cover on YT! Your superior classical technic makes all the difference. John must be delighted.(RIP) I miss him more everyday but hopefully we all have his music. Respect from a french classical guitarist. Best,

[@NickBrightwell]

Merci!

[@bobnobody3191]

That is one of the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. I'm amazed by the level of creativity it must take to create such thing and I must say you play it beautifully as well. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@NickBrightwell]

Thank you, Bob. Those are some kind words. I'm glad your enjoying the music!

Esta canción de John me ha acompañado más de 35 años de mi vida de navegante. Con ella se acompaso mi barco, mar y alma. Con el relevo del terral que cede a la brisa del día. Así evoluciona mi barco escorando al viento que riela, mientras la proa fabrica diamantes y larga la popa su estela a la par que la música de Jhon todo lo expresa.... Gracias amigo, mago y eterno ...

[@NickBrightwell]

María, perdona mi comunicación. Estoy usando traductor Gracias por sus bellas y amables palabras. Esto fue increíble para leer una mañana como fui a través de mis correos electrónicos. Voy a tocar esta canción para ti de ahora en adelante. Disfrute del mar. Si alguna vez entra en el puerto de Nueva Zelanda, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo. Gracias y viajes seguros. Amor, Nick

[@GuitarTeacherAndrew]

very nice playing! I really love this tune and all the music of John Renbourn. If possible can you help me find where I can purchase copy of the notation,tablature, or arrangement for 'the fiddler'. I cant seem to find the full version anywhere. Thank you and once again awesome playing!

[@NickBrightwell]

Hey Andrew, sorry for the slow reply. It's a very hard tab to come by, I have a copy from my studies. However, I can under copyright law give it to you as a student. If you would like to have a quick lesson 10-20mins we can sort it out. Cheers, Nick

[@GuitarTeacherAndrew]

@@NickBrightwell sounds interesting, where can I find more details?

[@simoncooper2008]

Simon! If you haven't been able to find the tab. Let's get together for an online lesson and I can give you the music as a student under copyright law.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Unique sound when no flute accompanies

[@NickBrightwell]

I agree. I've always dreamed of getting an ensemble together and performing it as originally recorded.

[@GrahamBurnett-nz5sh]

Are you a son of Renbourn?

[@NickBrightwell]

I'm a son of Murray Brightwell. But maybe Renbourn snuck in one night.... No, really, I'm a passionate musician that found a piece that resonated deeply in my soul.

[@capriciousNo9]

@@NickBrightwell Hello! a son of Murray Brightwell, Nick. Thank you for reply to "long long ago there was a" comment of mine. Every time I hear this movie , you play Johnly like a son of Renbourn! By the way, I love plays by a Japanese amarteur guitarist, gtomato0323, and his technique and sense of acoustic guitar. So I want to ask you one thing: please see and listen to all his plays (including Renbourn covers & his originals etc.) in my KZbin "playlist", and send me your impression after listening to all his plays in it, of course, if possible. I hope your answer will comes to me. Thank you very much for your reply. capriciousNo9 Play list URL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZDXXqycg813qdk Thank you.

[@NickBrightwell]

@@capriciousNo9 That is some great guitar playing! I liked 'Great Dream from Heaven' the most, Thank you for introducing me to this great music.
