Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Tell Me What Is True Love?
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: EADGBE

Short and sweet this one, but beautifully haunting and full of atmosphere. It's also really easy to
play and makes for a great right hand picking exercise! There are are number of ways you can pick
it; I prefer using my first two fingers, with the thumb playing the bass notes. You may prefer just
to use your thumb and forefinger, or give the other fingers a workout by using various
combinations. Make sure you let notes ring out as much as possible.

Rhythm: 4/4

I made a small but important mistake in tabbing this: In bar 4 (counting from the start), the note on the B string should be played at the first fret, not open as written. And the same applies to every other bar that uses this shape. It's a little harder to play like this, but that's what he's doing on the record!
