@ecojot There is an instructional video on youtube that shows the tuning and? fingerpicking sequence, as John plays it. There is also another video that shows how to lay it in standard tuning.
Ah yes, back in the days when people actually went to the trouble of miking up acoustic guitars instead of? just plugging them into the desk along with that farty electro-acoustic sound. JM’s guitar always sounded natural, this is great.
John always seemed a little embarrassed by his talent – I can’t think of many artists whose between-song persona was so far removed from the gentleness and intense beauty of his performance. Check out his self-conscious looning right at the end of this clip – it’s almost as if he’s saying? it’s all a send-up.

hey don’t knock our lady ga? ga ooh lah lah.
i was lucky to see jm 3 times in my life,it’s all music… well except for michael jackson that is.
That missed note at the start sounds awesome. John Martyn was one of a kind His music was always the first thing I thought of when I was feeling hurt or downhearted taking comfort? in the knowledge that someone knew how I felt. He was one of the deepest musicians ever.
@puckduim Can you not copy and paste the link into keepvid [dot] com? That’ll save it to your computer as flv or mp4 etc. Hopefully ye can view it? then
Nothing will ever come close to the genius and the soulful music? of the great John Martyn. It saddens me everyday I think that he is no longer with us, but he left beautiful music for us to live our life by, and for that we can be eternally happy. I love you John, and I miss you.
Actually, this vid cannot be played in my country (Netherlands). I might just hit the ‘dislike’ button too, if only to give those old fashioned record companies a warning. Nah, I know? it won’t help. Still, it sucks!
@MrMarko890 Because of your pointless nitpicking of a piece of advice I gave two years ago, I had a look at the site? again and found out that John’s final album was completed and released a short while back. Thanks
i’m a carpenter, i have a beard, im a surfer and surf when theres ice on the ground, i cut wood in my spare time,? and consider my self a man. and right now, watching john, hearing him, i’m reduced to tears. rip my man, wish i could have met you.
I go every time I hear thisone,it cuts deep,one of my Blub like a girl songs.Utter beautiful perfection.
I’ll confess to- I Used To Know You by Johnathan Kelly and Percy The Penguin by Stackridge as my other blub songs..Yes ‘Im an old freaky softie, but what the hell,good music? is good musc.
@TheJaytnt Standard? tuning?! Heresy! :p

@puckduim is there a good tab for this? somewhere? Would love to learn it.
My all time favorite artist – so natural. Couldn’t read music and didnt care to. Check out the documentary of him which is? on youtube.
@niallvan I find this? humorous and true
@RT83 Well looks like you are the first dislike to my comment about dislikers therefore you’re the first second dislike.?

Is this the video of the version on BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert? (With the black and white photo on? the cover) It sounds very similar.

@RT83 a lot of the scores on that site? are wrong

@niallvan She is relevant!!! As a comparison. She’s a total pain in the ass, whereas the? music of JM is quality..
correction, THIS is MUSIC? at its best.
