Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: M'Lady Nancy
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: EADGBE (tuned down a semitone on recording)
This is one of Berts best, an amazing instrumental composition; he can write serious guitar
pieces with the best of them! A word of warning though, this tune is definitely not for
beginners, there are some really tricky parts in here and you also have to watch for the timing
and rhythm; there are bars of different lengths all over the place. Watch for the asterisks
which show you how many beats and where they lie. There will be sections which take a fair bit
of practice if you're an intermediate player. You will also have to work with the record to get
the feel and tempo down, there are parts where you have to slow it down and speed up again. The
practice is well worth the effort with this one, it's a beautiful piece. You may well find
better fingering solutions for your fingers, mine came from listening to each bar again and
again and trying to suss where he was by the tone. I may well be wrong in places! Anyway have
fun and stick with it! :o)
