Summary of This Book
Designed as a reference volume, Bert Transcribed brings together 24 songs by the legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist Bert Jansch, a major figure in British folk and acoustic fingerstyle playing. Each track has been meticulously transcribed and annotated to highlight all aspects of a style as inventive as it is defining: rhythmic placement, chord progressions, melodic lines integrated into the picking, and interpretative subtleties. The book combines tablature and standard notation, with chord symbols, chord diagrams, melody, and complete lyrics, to facilitate work both by ear and by reading.
The result of several years of research conducted by an international team of Jansch specialists, the book offers for each piece contextual notes and a performance analysis : an ideal approach to understand what makes the artist's sonic signature and to adapt it to your own playing. The selection covers his entire discography and spans his different periods, including essential tracks and rarer pieces. You will find notably: Alice's Wonderland, Alman, Angie, Bird Song, Birthday Blues, Blackwaterside, Blues Run The Game, Bright New Year, Chambertin, Crimson Moon, Curragh Of Kildare, Fresh As A Sweet Sunday Morning, In The Bleak Midwinter, Is It Real?, Joint Control, Moonshine, Needle Of Death, Orlando, Peregrinations, Reynardine, Running From Home, Soho, Strolling Down The Highway, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
Finally, the book stands out with valuable complementary content for any enthusiast: an introduction that sheds light on Jansch's unique sound, an album-by-album discography to place the pieces and extend the exploration, as well as an exclusive color section presenting new photographs of his guitars.
