Strolling Down The Highway by Bert Jansch
Added 2020-10-16 12:05:15 +0000 UTCI wanted to do something acoustic this week and have plumped for a bit more Bert Jansch, one of my all-time favourite acoustic players. It's a short piece, but quite an intricate one. So slow it right down, and take it a bar or a beat at a time if you need to.

Here's a live version. Good close ups of his hands. Notice how he's changed a few bits compared to the original recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NazXq3sJl5g
Bert was also a big influence on Nick Drake. If you've not heard it, here's Drake's version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pZn_3_69C0
Music/tab below. Have fun, and speak next Friday,
