Bert Jansch was one of the most influential and unique guitarists to emerge from the British folk music scene of the sixties.His influence can be traced in the playing of Neil Young Jimmy Page Johnny Marr andcountless others. Over the course of nearly fifty years he produced a prodigious body of work as a solo guitarist singer and songwriter as a member of the seminal'folk-baroque' band Pentangle as a duo with his equallyrevered friend John Renbourn and in a variety of other ensemble situations.On The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown we explore a representative selection from the folk traditional and bluessegment of his Guitar arrangements ranging from simple early folk Guitar settings like 'Running From Home' to his most iconic sophisticated and original accompaniments(e.g. Reynardine Black Waterside). These are carefullyarranged little gems and his virtuosity as a guitarist allowed him to have a very specific and beautifully wrought arrangement while still showing an ability to create a number of subtle variations which occurred in hisrecordings over the years.Rolly Brown first heard Bert's playing in the mid-60s and has been a fan ever since. Along with basic arrangements Rolly discusses variations introductions and endings whereappropriate.Titles include Running From Home Blues Run The Game Strollin' Down The Highway In The Bleak Midwinter and more.
