    I heard someone say they saw Bert perform this in 1974 and he flubbed a few notes and told the audience he didn't usually play it because it was too difficult. That speaks volumes to your ability to learn this one.

    Highly recommend “Dazzling Stranger” the Jansch biography. He was definitely a one off. Also, great contrast to the Fahey stuff recently. Compared to the scholarly approach Fahey took, Jansch seemed to absorb anything he heard and create a unique personal and more interesting technique and original composition IMO (not a knock to Fahey). Those low string runs are pure heavy metal

Would love to do The Wheel someday.

      @@andrewlardner haha sorry, I should've elaborated. Once for a Renbourn workshop we discussed this piece (John had a very interesting story concerning the origin of it which I'm afraid I forgot, should've made notes). In preperation for the workshop I was practicing this piece (Chambertin) a lot, but was always baffled by the weirdness of its flow. In trying to wrap my head around it I tried a lot of different fingerings (the c-b transition as a pull-off is the most obvious one) and even went as far as tuning to DADgad to see if I could make it work. Think I still have some notes on that, will see if I can look them up.
      No don't get me wrong, I know Bert definitely did NOT play it in dadgad. Just a fun little experiment I like to do, try to find my own approach to a composition.
      Also, it's this 'famous folk tuning' so lot of guitarist tend to think that when a piece sounds crazy, it's most likely in some sort of open tuning.
      Hence my comment :)
      Sorry to confuse, it comes quite naturally.

    Hi Andrew, a masterful rendition as always. You manage to catch all the subtle nuances that makes Bert's playing so special. How would you rate this song in terms of the difficulty involved with emulating Bert's sound? Thanks for all the great music :)

    • @andrewlardner
      @andrewlardner  Рік тому +7

      I consider this one of the more difficult pieces I've tried to do in recent memory. His left hand is superb, the stretch in the first section required a lot of practice. In the C section he has that C to D change and I initially thought that was in first position, I only had two days to relearn the passage with the bar in 5th position and that ended up posing a big challenge. I wish I had another week to get it ready and up to his full tempo.

    • @douglasalan5783

      This piece reminds me of a duet Bert did with Renbourn on a Pentangle record. It was called “No Exit.” It had the repeating arpeggios that are such an essential part of this piece. I can’t help but wonder how JR would accompany Bert on this. Tuning?
