Bert Jansch - M'lady Nancy guitar tab

Your rating:

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

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)

I made a slight mistake in this tab - in bar 9 (counting from the start) I tabbed an open A string when it should be fingered at the first fret. Actually, both notes sound good, but if you want to be accurate.....
