Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: M'Lady Nancy
Album: Rosemary Lane
Tuning: EADGBE (tuned down a semitone on recording)
This is one of Berts best, an amazing instrumental composition; he can
write serious guitar pieces with the best of them! 
A augmentedA word of warning
though, this tune is definitely not for beginners, there are some really
tricky parts in here and you also have to watch for the timing and
rhythm; there are bars of different lengths all over the place. Watch for
the asterisks which show you how many beats and where they lie. There
will be sections which take a fair bit of practice if you're an
intermediate player. You will also have to work with the record to get
the feel and tempo down, there are parts where you have to slow it down
and speed up again. The practice is well worth the effort with this one,
it's a beautiful piece. You may well find better fingering solutions for
your fingers, mine came from listening to each bar again and again and
trying to suss where he was by the tone. I may well be wrong in places!
Anyway have fun and stick with it! :o)
