This guy's name probably won't a thing to any of the American members of the board nor to many Brits either. But Bert Weedon inspired generations of guitarists from George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton onwards to learn the guitar. His books Play in A Day were used by literally millions of us - great guitarists and lousy strummers (like me) to learn the rudiments of playing. He died yesterday. RIP Bert.

I've been in a R&B mood and new SWV does deliver...
Hmmm....what if "Coko" was a tranny. She'd definitely be "verse"

3 R&B vets with a Zelda theme sampled on the track = multiple replays!
I'll raise a glass to Bert too. I started off with Play in a Day as well, but pretty soon moved on to acoustic and John Pearse's seminal "Hold Down a Chord" which combined both books and BBC2 series, unfortunately in the days before VHS or DVD. :(
But it's impossible to overstate the influence that Bert Weedon had on the development of almost all the UK electric guitar giants of the 60s, 70s and beyond. Clapton, Page, Beck, Harrison and the rest, all started out with Bert's book, and of course they in turn influenced generations of US guitarists too. That's one hell of a legacy.
Susan Tedeschi also does a great version of this song but nothing beats the John Prine/Bonnie Rait cover of it..........
