ANGIE (folk-blues instrumental)
written by Davy Graham
recorded by Davy Graham - Topic TOP70 (1962)
recorded by Bert Jansch - Transatlantic TRA125 (1965)
Any tablature for this tune, the best-known of all folk-blues
guitar instrumentals, can be little more than a simple guide to
the basic riffs. A variety of hammer-ons, pull-offs, bends and
slides can be used which, together with subtle shifts in rhythm,
tend to ensure everyone has their own version. If some of the
notes are hard to get, just play the easy ones - main thing is
that it should flow...
***************************************************** this has remnants of Davy's original 1962 recording, but is much
closer in phrasing to the classic version on Bert Jansch's first
album, released 3 years later. One difference from both of these is
that it is arranged to be played in Am (without a capo) but with a
middle section in Dm higher up the guitar - a variation I first saw
used by Marc Sullivan, one of the many fine guitarists who could be
heard playing at those classic mid-60s Les Cousins all-nighters,
(the highlight of which was inevitably Mox's harmonica train song).
*******************************************************
