Steeleye Span - False Knight on the Road descargar videos gratis

DIEJENIGENWELCHEN

The droning I-V-i chord is Tim Hart's jangly electric mountain dulcimer and the percussive picking is Carthy on the Telecaster. By playing the electric guitar like a folk acoustic guitarist Carthy achieved an extremely tight rock sound which defined the early Steeleye Span. Check out the Watersons' "Bright Phoebus" on which Carthy and Richard Thompson accompany most of the songs with dual acoustic guitars!

@ToujoursLAmour I think it's Martin Carthy on electric guitar. He once said that the big mistake he made with it was trying to play it in the same manner as the acoustic guitar. I think those first measures here are what he was talking about. Still a great song, and well done, too.

I love Steeleye Span and this song is one of their best! Thanks for posting!

K Grub

Yeah, I think you're right. It could just be a nice, clean guitar.

Pangael

@KateFan , Yes, quite right!

More than that, the devil is trying to lure the boy into a trap. Answer incorrectly and he'll be whisked off straight to hell.

@ToujoursLAmour, I can hear an electric guitar, a bass and a violin in there. I don't think there's a dulcimer, either lap or hammer, but I could be wrong.

K Grub

What is the stringed instrument that accompanies from the very beginning? Is it a dulcimer?

@Pangael a good song thanks

Pangael

This is not, as one might first suspect an example of Medieval Adolescent Conduct Disorder. The False Knight is the Devil and the Wee Boy is a good Christian who counters each of the Devil's conundrums with one of his own, albeit in a rather cheeky fashion. These Olde Parables are such fun. :-)
