Hi, my name's Bernard Butler _ _ _ and [A] I'm just noodling around.
That's a piece that I've just been_
You wouldn't believe that, this.
But I've just been doing that this morning and messing [Ab] around and sitting here.
Yamaha [A] have _ [Eb] brought this beautiful L-series guitar around. _
[A] _ _ [G] _ And left it with me for a couple of weeks to see if I just want to play [Em] around with it. _
Because it was the model that Bert Jansch played.
_ _ [Abm] _ _
_ And in conjunction with the [Am] Bert Jansch Foundation, _ they came up with this idea called Around [F] the World in 80 Plays.
_ [Gb] _ _ _
_ Where a musician takes the guitar, _ is inspired, sees what happens, records [G] one of these little videos.
_ [Bb] _
And then [Gb] nominates somebody else and passes it on somewhere.
It could be anywhere around the world.
And we pass it round and round.
And literally, physically _ spreading Bert's [Ab] music and inspiration around the world.
_ [Am] _
Bert was a friend of mine _ and I played with him.
I hung out with him.
_ [N] _ He was great.
He was warm, lovely, funny, cynical. _ _ _
Maybe just funny.
I found him funny, quiet.
[A] He is a character.
_ _ I [Ab] love characters in music.
I love characters in music.
_ _ [A] I look for character when I hear sound. _
When I hear his playing, [Ab] I hear character.
I hear [E] techniques that I don't hear anywhere else.
And I don't question whether [G] they're correct or incorrect or good or bad.
I think of personality [Bbm] and _ _ humanity [C] and heart and vision [E] and all those kind of things.
And that's what inspires me [G] most about [Ab] Bert.
_ His songwriting _ and his personality.
[E] _ _ _
So I'd like to pass this guitar on to somebody else.
Who may not be an acoustic [F] guitar player or a folk guitar player like me.
_ Or anything else.
But another [E] musician who _ might learn something about Bert.
Take an [G] inspiration from it and come up [Ab] with something great.
That's what we want from music.
[Gb] That's what folk music is all about.
Taking inspiration and passing it on and passing it on.
_ Until it comes into all these different forms.
I think that's what Bert would really love [G] to happen now.
I've also _ [A] _ been asked to [E] write the seat note for this amazing record.
Just A Simple [Ab] Soul.
Which is a new compilation of Bert's music. _
Which is out.
It's a great photo on the cover [E] actually.
I've written some notes and it's got all these hits [A] on it.
[Eb] _
_ Depending on how you [A] regard what a hit is.
_ [E] But it's got all the things that I really loved anyway.
All the songs.
You should hear this.
If you don't know Bert's music.
This is a good starting place.
[F] If you don't even like acoustic guitars.
That's fine.
This is a good starting place.
_ And I am going to pass this guitar and this record on [Ab] to somebody else.
And I can't wait to hear what they do with it. _
