The Influence of Guitarist Bert Jansch

From Scotland on Sunday article by Aidan Smith on the highly influential guitarist Bert Jansch:

"Neil Young says Jansch did for the acoustic guitar what Jimi Hendrix did for the electric guitar. And one thing Jimmy Page will admit is that he was 'absolutely obsessed' with Jansch when his self-titled debut was released in 1965."

Bert Jansch performed in the band Pentangle which played the Isle of Wight Festival twice with the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan.
