Guitar Tab

Tabbed by Jamie Phillips (jamiephillips22@hotmail.com)

Artist: Bert Jansch
Track title: The Bright New Year
Album: Birthday Blues
Tuning: EADGBE

A really nice little ditty this one and easy to play, too. There are actually many ways to
finger this, I tabbed it as it sounds played to me on the recording. But experiment with the
fingers and frets used. It is also possible to play it barred at the 5th fret, and if you find
the stretch from the low G to the high B difficult, you can actually play this tune with a capo
at the 5th fret if you drop the low E to a D. The rhythm is basically 4/4 with a swing 8th
feel. Watch for the bar of 3 in the intro though. The asterisks are a guide.
