    Nice to see Pierre's face. This man is an invaluable resource to Bert Jansch fans trying to learn his arrangements. As usual, this channel doesn't provide a link to his channel in the description. Luckily more than a few commenters have compensated for this negligence.

    Pierre, my guess is that you are only one in the world that is playing so many Bert Jansch tunes - and than in this unbelievable quality and mastership. My biggest respect!

      whilst Pierre is definitely the most prolific Bert player on UA-cam, Nir Mehlman is also a great lover of Bert Jansch and he even does tutorial videos of some of Berts songs

    Pierre is the man. 100% Bert, top deck of a LONDON bus. Bert's guitar. Pure LOVE it. Makes me smile from ear to ear. Total perfection Pierre. One of my most favourite BERT songs. Love it man!

    You are THE MAN. i love Springtime Promises. It's not HIS guitar, but it looks like it.... lol! Perfection. Keep on keeping on Pierre. I LOVE your Jansch and Pentangle covers.

  • @allancopland1768
    @allancopland1768 Рік тому

    Springtime Promises is 100% Bert. For me at least one of Bert's happiest tunes. I LOVE this little tune. It may not be not Bert's guitar but it's a Yamaha. Even the cheapest Yamaha's are fine instruments. I've never tried a bad one. Pierre.. PLEASE keep keeping on my friend.

    Made me cry to discover this gem. So true to Bert! I didn’t know the half of it; my husband Dave Bainbridge spent many years roadieing with Pentangle and played guitar with Bert at the Marquee. So lovely to hear Bert’s legacy truely played and such a surprise by you in France. What could be better?!

    Springtime Promises. Yes, he wrote it on a bus. A beautiful tune. I LOVE it. That's just spot on. I watched Bert play it many times. Your version is the best. Such a happy little tune.

  • @jamesrobert4106
    @jamesrobert4106 2 роки тому +1

    Possibly the most deserving man of a contribution to the Bert Jansch legacy. I am glad he spotted it was simply a Yamaha acoustic, as we should all know Bert played the discontinued LL11.
    A great player and a wonderful man.
    I wish Pierre could teach us what he plays.

  • @allancopland1768
    @allancopland1768 Рік тому

    Back for more. That is powerful. The buzzing bees will hum. One of Bert';s best tunes,...... The other songs are awesome BUT there is *still* a constantly quiet 'ticking noise' in the background. I cannot lie. As your friend I would NEVER bullshit you. If this noise wasn't present it would be 100% perfect. Your presentation is 100% awesome and I have listened on several computers with identical results. YOU MUST come back after playing Sylvie.. who was walking down by the riverside... as I do frequently. Awesome music my friend. My all time favourite Pierre song is .... anything you play. You ARE the man.

    Superb guitar playing from Pierre and his voice is just incredible. It's just like listening to Bert really. I know the first two songs but haven't heard them for such a long time. I used to love Soho back in the day. I'll see if I can find a copy of Rosemary Lane. Thank you Pierre but don't let it go to your head.

  • @allancopland1768

    Ha ha! Thank you for that Pierre. It sounds as if Bert's soul is performing through you and your voice. My deep respects and now, back to my 70's faithfull Yama fg180 that served so well around Marble Arch. 14 & 55 are specially beautiful.

    I always found it odd that the Pentangle songs weren't released in sheet music notation. Pierre, you have made me smile big time. You totally nailed Springtime Promises. You really get Bert 's sound. I've never heard anyone get these right like you do. These songs remind me of a road trip I made with a friend back in the late 80s. Happy memories. The sun shining, nature always pushing through Bert's lyrics.

    Salut Pierre! et merci pour les amoureux de Bert , et en particulier ce morceau que j'aime depuis .... bon! à 75 ans, ça tient!... mais peux-tu me dire comment ta guitare est accordée pour cette pièce qui sonne si bien (un modèle de "comping" même pour le "jazz") j'ai moi-même déjà arrangé une composition de Bert (Wishing well) sur le modèle de Juju de Wayne Shorter (sic)! Par ailleurs je m'étonne que jamais personne n'ait pensé à publier une notation "classique" des morceaux qui composent l'album Bert & John (pour moi, un modèle de duos ! )

J'ai envoye une petite lettre dans la site de Bert Jansch. J'ai laisse mon adresse e-mail la bas. Pardon, je ne sais pas comment ajouter les accents et je suis un peu perdu en écrivant en français. Tu parles bien anglais maintenant. Bravo. Dakota et son petit chien, Lucky.
