The host said it best. Bert had his own sound that belonged to him and him alone.

No matter how many times I hear him I’m still mesmerised and in awe of the ease with which he can play. Sheer genius, and inspirational to so many guitarists and always will
be. RIP Bert and thank you!

Bert was and continues to be a massive inspiration for my playing. His touch and tone are just amazing to me....

thank you for posting the genius in action

Glad you enjoyed the clip. Bert's wonderful and original arrangement still has the power to stop everything in it's tracks. After Anji, this is the one to learn!

Much appreciated. It is one of those pieces that Bert always made look effortless and I'm glad it still touches those that hear him play it.
