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

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.
