Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: Love Is Teasing
Album: Nicola
Tuning: DADGAD
Capo: 2nd fret

This is probably one of Berts finest guitar arrangements and has eluded
me for some time. He really sounds like he's playing a 12 string but he's
not - it's just his genius use of octaves and tuning. I'm pretty sure
it's in DADGAD. I've attempted to learn this tune many times and have
given up, it's just so hard to hear what he's playing with all the open
strings and octaves, but tonight, armed with a bottle of wine, I think
I've had a good crack at it. This tune is not for the faint hearted, I
think it's one of his most technical so watch out for the fingerings in
some places. Bear in mind that it is very possible with a little
practice. Work closely with the record for the structure and feel. You
may find better fingerings than I have here and by all means contact me
with any improvements/mistakes etc. I have never seen a transcription of
this tune, so I may well have a first here! Have fun!
