Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: A Dream, a Dream, a Dream
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: EADGBE
Capo: 1st Fret
This is one of Berts best love songs I think. It's a beautiful melody.
The guitar part is pretty easy to play but there are a couple of points
to watch out for. Firstly, the last note of the 1st measure is played
with the bottom of the 1st finger in preparation for the barre in the
2nd measure. If you find it hard to sound the note on the D string
with the barre, like me with my skinny fingers, I've provided an
alternative fingering at the end. Bert definitely plays it barred
though. Also, in the 7th measure you play the note on the high E
string with the bottom of the 1st finger, but not barred because you
have to leave the 3rd string open. It's pretty easy to get the hang
of it though. This is in 4/4 but watch for the odd measure of 2/4 -
the asterisks are a guide. :o)
