The sad passing of Bert Jansch

[reiver]

Just heard that Bert Jansch lost his battle with cancer this morning.

Having just seen him perform with Pentangle at the end of July this has left me a little numbed. A great and pioneering guitarist.

This is really sad news.

He was a great and influential guitarist.

Hopefully Neil will do some of his songs as lessons

Here's a video of Bert and John playing not too long ago.

We guitarists lost a real master when Bert passed. He never got the acclaim he was due, at least not in this country. The Brits seem to appreciate real talent more than we do.

I hope he's entertaining the angels now.

R.I.P. Bert. You left quite a legacy.
