The man responsible for more blistered fingers than any other has passed on. RIP Bert. I bought your book like countless others & it helped me take the first step on the loveliest journey imaginable. Thanks Bert.

31 years ago I was given his book and found it a huge help in starting me off on the very long and winding road of guitar.

Seemed like quite a decent bloke too..!

I met Bert Weedon a few times over the years primarily through Gordon Giltrap and Joe Brown who I met through work years ago.

There was a huge respect for Bert Weedon in the guitar world.

He was a hardworking steady reliable troubadour and the the music industry had the highest respect for Bert Weedon because of this absolute sincerity and completely straightforward approach.

There simply was no side to Beret Weedon, he never had a tantrum in his life.

I learned to play on Play in a Day and Play every Day as did most 1960's gutarusts!

Bert Weedon was a very talented guitarist and a lifelong enthusiast for and ambassador of the guitar.

A wonderful man he will be fondle remembered and sadly missed.
