Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Fantastic guitarist. The British folk lot are under appreciated: Jansch, John Martyn and John Renbourn are of the highest calibre. Could even throw Richard Thomspon in there. That's probably his best known song, seeing as Jimmy Page stole it and included it on a multi-platinum Led Zep album. Edited October 5, 2011 by Kevin S.

Meenzer 15561 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Shame. Like what I know of his a lot. Strong output across the years too: Edited October 5, 2011 by Meenzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14013 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 That's probably his best known song, seeing as Jimmy Page stole it and included it on a multi-platinum Led Zep album. Yep he also ripped it off for his solo parts of the sets where he would play the Dan electro DC59 for half an hour by himself - he literally stole all of Jansch's style. Anyway R.I.P a great musician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
