One of the UK’s most legendary folk artists, singer-songwriter Richard Thompson came to prominence in the 1960s with folk-rock group Fairport Convention. He followed this with a successful solo career that’s still going strong today. While the English folk sound is prevalent in Thompson’s style there’s no denying that a strong Celtic element runs through his playing too. This is especially evident in his instrumental guitar work which is full of Celtic style ornamentations and common fingerstyle devices like the alternating bass lines and altered tunings. One of his most famous compositions, ‘1952 Vincent Black Lightning’ is a veritable masterclass in this.
