Jansch Bert - Reynardine guitar tab
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)
Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Reynardine
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: DADGBE (dropped D)
A Bert Jansch classic. There's some free time noodling at the start of the track which
was a bit long winded to tab but it's pretty easy to figure out; besides which you'll
probably want to put your own noodling in there instead. I think Bert detunes his guitar
a half step on this track, it certainly makes the bends a bit easier anyway. He makes
those bent notes warble, too, which I haven't represented here - as usual you'll need to
work with the recording to get it exact. I think Bert used to sometimes literally lift
the strings away from the fretboard with his right hand fingers and let them slap down
to get that hard percussive sound he's noted for. This tune is in 4/4 but watch out for
the odd bar of 6; I've added beat asterisks to these bars as a guide. He basically plays
the same pattern from verse to verse and the instrumental break. There is also an ending
which again is a little freer in time and easy to figure out if you want to include it.
I haven't tabbed it here - maybe at a later date!
Rhythm: 4/4 with the odd bar of 6/4
