Blacksmith Tab by Bert Jansch


Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: The Blacksmith 
Album: The River Sessions (and LA Turnaround)
Tuning: DADGAD

This is an absolutely stunning track - the guitar part alone is worth learning simply to 
see how great the DADGAD tuning can sound. I tabbed it from the live version which is just 
guitar and vocals. I think the guitar on the studio version is virtually the same though. 
This tab is the guitar part from the first verse - the other verses are the same with a few
minor variations which you can check out yourself. He repeats the main riff a few times 
before he sings. The thing about this tune is that you could refinger virtually every phrase
a different way to suit your fingers. This is how I think it's played, although the live 
version is a little sketchy in places. You'll get the general idea though! I've given an
alternate fingering for one of the verses I thought some fingers might have trouble with.
Enjoy! :o)
