Reviews

[Jeremy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an incredible, very thorough, set of transcriptions of Bert Jansch's recordings including detailed notes on performance and variations. It was compiled by a collection of musicians who are intimately familiar with his work, using close studies of available video recordings as well as extrapolating from his habits and people's direct memories of how he used to play the different songs. The transcription of Chambertin is absolutely definitive, and really, every song is perfect or near-perfect. This is hands down the best tab book I have ever owned, and I hope the foundation releases a sequel, because based on this I want to buy anything they have to offer.
