Strolling Down the Highway ( Bert Jansch) Lesson

[Roger G Lewis]

Bert Jansch Fingerstyle classic
There was not a lesson on how to play this on You Tube so I did a quick one this afternoon.
Its a great Tune with lots of fingerstyle mileage, its not a million miles away from Robert Johnsons Love in Vain with the 3rd CHord shape figuring prominently in that tune as well


On the first move in the video I say the bend is to a D its actually to a Csharp to match the Csharp fingered with your pointing finger on the B string second frett.

Tab Here. Strolling Down The Highway Tab by Bert Jansch @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Check out Zane Charrons great version here

I learned Needle of Death This afternoon from this Stellar lesson with excellent tab from the anyone can play guitar blog and you tube channel.Its harder than Strollin down the Highway but one will lead to the other being easier to play if you stick at it.

one of my favorite jansch tunes and lots of fun to play.

I did a version with a friend ummm maybe 6-8 years ago. somewhere in there. your thread inspired me to fish this out and share it. it's me on guitar and a friend singing. my version varies from the original but the meat of it is still there I think.
