None of them
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips ([email protected]) Artist: Bert Jansch Track title: The Blacksmith Album: The River Sessions (and LA Turnaround) Tuning: DADGAD This is an absolutely stunning track - the guitar part alone is worth learning simply to see how great the DADGAD tuning can sound. I tabbed it from the live version which is just guitar and vocals. I think the guitar on the studio version is virtually the same though. This tab is the guitar part from the first verse - the other verses are the same with a few minor variations which you can check out yourself. He repeats the main riff a few times before he sings. The thing about this tune is that you could refinger virtually every phrase a different way to suit your fingers. This is how I think it's played, although the live version is a little sketchy in places. You'll get the general idea though! I've given an alternate fingering for one of the verses I thought some fingers might have trouble with. Enjoy! :o) Rhythm 4/4 (and 2/4, 3/4) Beat:* * * * * * * * D||--------0-h2--0-----------0-h2--0-----|--------------------------------0-----|
