  • This month on Patreon I am teaching a solo instrumental from Renbourn's first album. This one was a blast to learn, a nice mix of British folk and American inspired blues. Tier 2 patrons get my detail-rich tablature for the song and private access to a lesson video a little over an hour and a half covering all the small details that help bring this to life. Guitar lovers rejoice! / andrewlardnerguitar

    Andrew, that was superb! I had forgotten that wonderful piece. It's the pure essence of John's 60's/70's playing which I loved so much. You paid him the ultimate tribute with that rendition. Even your old Martin lends itself so well to the sound John got from his trusty Gibson J-50. I had the great pleasure of meeting him a couple of times when he was here in Ireland. A real gent was John. R.I.P to him.

    I really this tune, which you play beautifully ... I love the middle eight with its embedded melodic line. Classic Renbourn .. wonderful! 🙏

    Mr. Renbourn must be smiling up there. You're the King of folk on UA-cam with these flawless renditions of London's early folk masters. Could have been him at Les Cousins. Great.

      I did three takes of this, this was the third. Felt the tempo of the first was too slow and there was an error I couldn’t get over in the second. I could swear I heard humming of the same notes in the same part that he vocalizes over when I was recording the second take. I felt like I heard it again when reviewing the audio of the second take but wrote it off as a figment of my imagination. I really wish I could have met John. We wanted to have him come for a workshop when I was teaching at UW but what was relayed was he didn’t feel like he was in good enough health to make the trip. He passed away a year or two later, the same year I left the university. By every account I ever heard, he was just the most delightful, wonderful, extraordinary person.

      @@andrewlardner I never met him but reckon I saw him playing at a wine bar in Cheltenham UK in the mid 1960s without realising who he was. By the time Sir John Alot was released everybody was lifting and dropping the needle back and forth trying to understand how to emulate his magic - nobody quite managed it.
      If he's in your ear then take a leap and believe it. For me, you encapsulate the true essence of his musicianship and I've not heard that before. Thank you.

      I recently found out that he did a workshop at Sandwich in Kent, which is about 30 minutes from my house, shortly before he died. To say I was mortified is an understatement. I did meet him once after a gig, though, and he was lovely. Completely unfazed by my reaction, which was like that of a 12 year old girl meeting Taylor Swift.
