Mlady Nancy

Bert Jansch

tono:
Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (*)

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)
