Simply put, Bert Jansch could freakin’ play. And like a lot of folks, I don’t usually associate guitar virtuosity with folk. Sure, I know there are folkies who can play, but I was raised in a context that worshipped the Electric Guitar Gods, and quiet plinking on an acoustic rarely rouses the thunder deities of Axeheim.
So I sat and sampled a few vids of Jansch and his understated magic, just marveling at the technique, the craft and the emotive power of it all.
