John Martyn died yesterday aged 60.

I first heard him when I bought the album ‘London Conversation’. I learned all about open D tuning by working out how to play “Fairytale Lullaby“. Other standout albums include ‘Solid Air‘ and ‘Grace And Danger‘.

Here’s a video of John playing the song “May You Never” on the The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973.
