Summary: John Renbourn continues his exploration into 19th Century parlor guitar, which influenced blues and other rural styles. This time the song is Sebastopol,' later called 'Vastopol,' which was originally played in open-D tuning (D, A, D, F#, A, D). Renbourn's version is in open-E (E, B, E, G#, B, E) - no matter, the intervallic relationships are identical. As usual, the song has quaint charm and a bit of guts. This lesson includes Power Tab and is featured on the following CD compilations: ACOUSTIC U. Get more audio and video lessons, notation and tab at TrueFire TV (http://truefiretv.com)
