Re: Richard Thompson.

Hi Helena,

After our conversation earlier I used a link you gave me to Richard Thompson to show a demonstraion of his syle of playing in another thread. So he has got two mentions within a few minutes.

I love the 'Beeswing' song by the way.

Re: Richard Thompson.

Hey Lena - Yep, Richard Thompson does have a great sound, but I have to admit that I'd never heard of him before I started playing and listening to all the singer songwriters.

Re: Richard Thompson.

RTs got to be one of the worlds best guitarists, he`s got it all , as a player and song writer, the last 2 albums I`ve got of his have been fantastic .

You can`t wind me up , I`m electric.

Re: Richard Thompson.

He is definitely a great guitarist. Is there a chance anybody around here could link me to an accurate chord sheet for "Dimming of the Day"? (That's one of my favourite tracks of his.)
