    Fantastic to see an absolute legendary guitarist pay a heartfelt tribute to one of his guitar heroes! The way that Johnny picked up that Yamaha and played a Bert tune tells us that his recollection of the great Bert Jansch was from his heart. Johnny Marr is an exceptional guitarist, one of the finest!

    Although a great guitar piece, Lady Nothinge's Toye Puffe was not written by Bert Janch. It was written by his fellow band member John Renbourn (both members of Pentangle). Kind of disappointing to see this misleading comment given that Bert did so many amazing pieces of his own.

    I sometimes find it almost disturbingly beautiful and frustrating . Aside from the wonderful voice and compositional skills often deriving from almost ancient timeless forms..His guitar was magical...he followed his own rules like the greats always do....and while being most sophisticated it's the things that seem at first deceptively easy to mime, when I realize the unique genius of Betts gift.
    Anyway thanks for this vid...is that actually Betts guitar....it surely sound a lot like it..or maybe it's your accurate knowledge...anyhow...sound fine..thanks again. D

      He didn't have to. He didn't play it note for note and played it in a different tuning. Blues and rock musicians have stolen ideas and licks from each other forever. Page just played a guitar arrangement he never sang the song and it's not Bert's song it's a traditional song so anyone can play it.

    Influenced John Lennon?, not too sure about that. Donovan certainly influenced him; Donovan was with the Beatles in India when he taught John Lennon the finger picking style. Bert Jansch though, never heard about that.

    • @tcvermont5947
      @tcvermont5947 6 лет назад +1

      And Donovan was influenced by..? We're talking about a very fluid time where all these people were bumping into each other constantly in clubs and art school and such. Donovan learned fingerpicking from Mac MacLeod who learned a lot hanging out with Renbourn, who famously shared a house with Jansch and half a dozen other people. During that time when The Beatles rocked their Rickenbackers on Hard Days' Night the guitar was actually not welcome in the folk clubs. That all changed with Davy Graham, and then Paul Simon showed up and stoked the competitive fires (and ripped off Martin Carthy), and then came the night when Al Stewart dragged Jimmy Page in to hear Bert play Blackwaterside.. and Rubber Soul took us from stereo Rickenbacker 12-strings to Paul's 1964 Epiphone Texan sound.
