Nick Drake - Parasite

[MichaelJohn5570]

25 people are haters and are musically inept. This is a superb cover. I am subbing this guy for sure. Euphonious beauty my friend, thank you ~ M.J.

[MichaelJohn5570]

you are beautiful man, great playing ~ you did Nick justice

[12014fisher]

Nice work..

[svendeswan]

bravo! clap clap clap

[irishkid71]

Great job!! Its great t see a young man diggin Nick Drake...Keep it up!!

[Wwhackk]

Can you please tell me the tuning man.

[evanrkg]

@Wwhackk CGCFCE (Low to high)

[PawlikDoc]

good

[Zerrith]

Very nice. It must be hard to coordinate all that complex fingerpicking and singing.

[TATiwonderland]

hey! that's fucking perfect man,bravo!

I luv Nick Drake..

[elphalba]

Wow, I'm certainly impressed!!

[trikeisawesome]

well done, man. really great picking. i saw some docs on nick drake that shed a bit of light on the chap.

[checho27mad]

i signed in just to post about your cover, it's pretty good! good luck!

[thistlesw]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! This is recorded 4 years ago....I hope you have embarked on a successful career by now; meaning one that gives you fulfillment and utilizes the amazing talent God has given to you. Thanks for sharing it here. All the best to you.

[Noumenon4Idolatry]

This is great....nice job man..:)

[1970datsun510]

You're great, kid. But take it from me, regardless of whether you become a 'star' or not, the music biz will ruin your life. Aim for a worthwhile job, a good woman and a family. Every bit as elusive as 'pop stardom' but infinitely more rewarding.

[davlol2k9]

nice man ,

any originals?

[scouserfc88]

Brilliant!!

[Stirrethcharybdis]

Ach I can't seem to get this tuning to where it sounds the same as the recording, and this cover's good but its higher pitched than the recording.

Good work though

[Jack0123456]

Very good.

[8bitmoloch]

I don't get the haters who post comments - these covers are high quality... and not only that, if youtube comments were votes for a political party we'd all be screwed. but, nice covers here.

[COPMMUSIC]

you look like an idiot PUNK

[Phillwin]

awesome - more more more

[1eyes1]

Amazing!

[jennnnnie]

your air conditioner is really high up

[jimiller7]

It's great to hear a young artist keepin' the old tunes alive ! Very Cool !! PEACE JIM

[zentatonic]

Great rendition - my favorite Nick Drake song.

[litteldave]

Nice work dude!

[chaya84]

you've got me crying. absolutely stunning version.. I adore nick drake's music so so much.

[michaelivingstone]

beautiful.

[fiendishing]

WOW. Fantastic job!!!!!!

This is my absolute favourite Nick Drake song ever. :)

[lillith178xx]

Really enjoyed listening! That was awesome.

[bluefire773]

This is definetly better than the one by Beck. I love this song so much. Beck did a cover of this, and it just wasn't anything like the one by Nick Drake. This is excellent. Nick Drake's techniques I imagine are very difficult to master. Excellent. Excellent. =)

[ellie305]

very beautiful :)

[Bongobobby9]

this song happens to be an all-time favorite in my record collection... and you perform it very well. this is great.

[getbentforever2]

wow surprised, nick is so hard, v good :)

[igramoul]

you are great..well done

[miniQtron]

This is fantastic. Do you happen to remember the tuning?

[TheDreamersMusic]

It's probably standard if he's using a capo.

[miniQtron]

I've looked for tabs and each one is crazy tuning. I hope I'm wrong though.

[zuperduperboi]

No, you're probably quite right. Nick Drake was a self-taught guitarist and often experimented with 'crazy tunings'.

[docakh]

LOL WHAATT??

[evanrkg]

This song is in CGCFCE, like many other Drake songs.

[GabeCure94]

OMG, I am a guy and I think you're fantastic. This video is beautiful!

[3n200]

beatiful song great cover

[jeffreydebra1]

You rock.

Nice guitar technique.

[guguevideos]

great!

[jleehoover]

You did a really good job on the song. What a great voice you have, really nice to listen to.

[bluesgurugod]

Well done. Poor microphone. Redo this with a better one and I'll be happy ;)

[roseateamraphen]

never stop dooing what you you do

[supernova1990]

Simply amazing, well done.

[BertConvy2008]

Very well done.

I was getting a lot of crackle, maybe you could re-record it a bit cleaner sounding?

[trixietracey14]

Wow! You just blew me away... fantastic cover, what a fine tribute indeeed, keep it up :0)) x

[Raurex]

great job man, do more Drake

[snipersas]

very good, very difficult song to play

[elstuko]

Nice Cover boooooy!!

[weeeendog]

perfect

[stevehackett1950]

Bravo! Molto limpido il suono della chitarra, molto "Nick Drake" tu! ;)

Good work! The guitar sound is very clean, and very "Nick Drake- style"! ;)

[gabrielangello]

'Thanks Man'. I have an earlier clip of you doing '3 hours'. You really inspired me to learn that song and watching the fingering on your video helped me alot! I'm about the same age as Nick and never thought I'd have the pleasure of seeing younger guys from your generation playing and keeping his special music alive. You play and sing his songs so well and again thanks for your great interpretations and inspiration'!

[natashakayhazou]

UNREAL!!!beautiful!!!i didnt think it was possible and you did it!!

[edupalmeiras11]

cara, como faço pra tocar isso com o capo na 6ª casa ????

(how do i play this song with the capo on the 6 fret ???)

[SimonWaldramMusic]

Beautifully played and sung. This is terrific.

[Pravindaswani74]

very very good

[lr229]

Top drawer

[sleepwalk]

Nice hair.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[louisorleans]

Excellent!

[fatdanios]

Well done! I love your voice.

[matthewcross]

Really beautiful. tastefully sung, well played. You capture the vibe well. Makes me want to relearn this ;)

[mattiasantarelli]

Mi vien voglia di imparare a suonare la chitarra solo per le canzoni di nick drake...

[quantumcahill]

thank you...that was dope. i don't get jealous much..but here i am.

[ziggy36]

Me too Great picking doing justice!

[palalaska9]

I really like your style and effort. You really play from the heart. Great job!!

[palalaska9]

Really nice work. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

[aquilamarke]

I have no idea where you are in the world, but I like you. This is my favorite Nick Drake song. I guess we're not alone after all.

[burn1980]

best cover i've seen on youtube!

[DEATHMANFUCKING]

very good job!

[jacomosfree]

could anyone tell me the exact picking pattern?

great job. like your effort.

[sysphus13]

[skankinjimbo]

This is really great! Awesome job!

[GuyLikesGreen]

Well done.

[Palaisideal]

The spirit of Nick Drake is still alive in such great Interpretations like this. Its my favourite Coverversion before Cello Song from The Books and Riverman from Bleibende Schaeden

[zebula2007]

dude that is amazingly good you rock

[Stevie92S]

Very Very good,well Done!

[AmeriScot1980]

it works because i think he is british, now i am american, im just saying there is not a kid in american that knows who nick drake is, and even if he did....he couldnt play it like that....long live the queen and long live nick drake!

[evanrkg]

Born and bred in the fine state of Pennsylvania, my friend.

: )

[AmeriScot1980]

well done, im from the fine state of Oklahoma and its good run into an upstanding american like yourself, who plays nick drake like we both knew him haha! keep pickin!

[FloatOn1001]

very nice.

[webothgodowntogether]

great. I like your haircut

[TearDropCatcher]

Wow, you're really good! ^_^

[techeney]

wow. you have it.

[thephrygianmode]

Absolutely brilliant, and it takes a lot for me to say that about a Nick Drake cover. Spot on vibe.

[superwhitechocolate]

he already is a great musician mr. nerdfrag.

[nerdfrag]

well done dude. if u continue like this you will be a realy good guitarplayer and singer soon

[superwhitechocolate]

I like the speed it makes it sound more natural. I wish I could play the guitar and sing like that.

[cadenmccann]

love this song; great guitar work! All those little pull-offs have been cleverly observed and included. Yes, someone noticed!

[intowiz]

thats really good. bit fast though.

[pligada]

so sweet...

[Superdudu11]

Man, you are the better Nick Drake cover of the world!

Absolutely wonderful !!!

I can appreciate your song here in Brazil !

[Blackasylum3]

[Duryardslegend]

Keep it alive. Well done, good Job.

[yuman1901]

nICK DRAKE AND THE BEATLES... GOD DAMN GOOD, and you... in 20 years you'll top bucket head!!! (sorry for the caps)

[michelmichielsen]

[dreazzy30]

[Sumtinrandom]

Nice man. Sounds good.

[lostamastasean]

not drake's voice but it goes really well

[s41357]

How many girls will fall in love whith you listening you playing your guitar?!You're great little boy!(Sorry for my english!)

[iwokojance]

Nice job on this song. Nick Drake was sick. You have a good voice. I'd like to hear some of your original material if you have any.

[oblakradosav]

good job!

[mrKAZ85]

Nice one! i enjoyed listening to you!

[mrlucky777]

great job on a song thats not easy to play.

[hannibal3blue]

Great job. What tuning is that?

[electrichealinghands]

really damn good

[dw94702]

very nice job on a very tough tune.

[Jcronk]

Great playing. Really nice thumb work.

[Bancaer]

I really like your version, your voice is great (some distortion on this vid, but I've seen your others). When I sing this, I usually put the accent on the last word, 'sailing downstairs in the northern *line*' for example.

MasterOfAPuppet89, 'no offense' but I don't like your dumb username.

[dreamscapejanitor]

Thanks a ton. 100 cool points for you.

[dreamscapejanitor]

I've been trying to figure out that song for a while now, what kind of tuning did you use?

[evanrkg]

CGCFCE

[galateasca]

I think you did a phenomenal job with this. I love this song, and I think you have a pleasant, sweet tenor. Just lovely. Keep at it!

[monteith3]

fuck em, cool keep the vibe alive

[Robertsgod]

Ya man thats kool

[FellAsleepAtTheGate]

great rendition mate

keep drake alive

[klaudyk]

[spikereaver88]

[MasterOfAPuppet89]

excellent guitar work but no offense i dont like ur voice though

[kellerkind666]

WOW ! Great !

[tcarboneau]

guitar is very good! vocals. well. they don't quite match the quality of the guitar. love the song though!

[blueswayside1]

why in the world would i want to listen to some wannabe rocker trying to copy a Legend when i can just listen to Nick Drake ,,, Be your self Bro,,thats what will get you some where dont copy,,Tip From An USA Citizen

[plundrik]

[ExperienceInvisible]

very good :)

[MississippiBlindJoe]

[matthewcross]

[deutsheemarkees]

Holy shite, a perfect rendition of one of my favoured tracks of one of my favourite artists! Thank you.

[VERB65]

Alone in a room there was this dude that rocked to a camera. That was you!! awesome

[orangepeels03]

Dude ur an angel...u delivered this almost as is...and whats cool about it is that we have exactly the same guitar..LoL!!-- but ur an excellent player.. Peace*** Markchelle

[JillytheHermit]

Thanks a bunch.

[JillytheHermit]

Absolutely fantastic. Nick would be proud. And by any chance, do you write your own stuff? With that voice and those chops you could go far.

[evanrkg]

I do write my own stuff. I have some songs at myspacecom/romacondor

[evanrkg]

OOH! and check out my videos "Mountains of Dark" and "En Route" to hear/see originals.

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Nicely done... but, dude! Fix that crackling microphone! Enjoying your vids so far.

[peteclemo]

awesome, awesome, awesome

i love it

excellent voice too

check out some of my vids if you have time for a laugh

[sunshinewings]

This is so very wonderful and heartfelt. Thanks...

[barisax1291]

[greencavefloat]

"you wouldn't happen to know the tuning for pink moon would ya?"

CGCFCE: introduction  hazey jane I hazey jane II pink moon which will parasite hanging on a star

[hatecominupwithnames]

[cobrasekr]

[chrisdrummer87]

awesome! thanks. you did a good job on this song. and i swear i walked past you, or your doppelganger, in Newtown the other day.

[evanrkg]

i have a doppelganger in australia?! i must kill him!

[chrisdrummer87]

Fantastic! it really is a beautiful song. are you using the same tuning that Nick used?

[evanrkg]

Yes, to my knowledge. CGCFCE, low to high.

[girlcrushing]

this is really, really lovely. especially when nick's music is so difficult to play.

[UsamaBinCiaAgent]

wow man, i bought the neil young box set and worship the day they make a movie about his life....it would be up there with braveheart and gladiator...none the less, i like how you sang it your own way and didnt try to sing it like nick...your own touch so to speak...well done.

[Krachen]

The most brilliant song of my world. It changes my life for good. So.. you had to be at least very talented.. Ok. Not to bad, you're young.

[Jexka007]

I love it! You have a wonderful voice and play this song so beautifuly!

[IdigN1]

Very nice playing and singing. You've got a great voice! I'm amazed. If you like, I make acoustic music too by the name AAE, look it up in lastfm if you're interested. Do you have own songs anywhere that I could listen to, in myspace or somewhere? Anyways great job man, keep it up!

[loungeking1]

Alot of feeling and technique from such a young guy. I think Nick would appreciate your playing. Keep going.

[telephonebook]

Superb.

[pinkpinkmooon]

This is UNBELIEVABLY beautiful. Nick's music is so complicated and you have a lot of talent to be able to play it so well. And your voice is absolutely, absolutely wonderful. Great job.

[ohshiite]

V3ry nice!!

[MIKE8854]

You sound great, good job.

[audreyjolley]

Love it, you should try Time Of No Reply.

[shoora]

nice job young fella,

Rock on!

[liffick]

It's nice to see Drake has not been forgotten. Great playing, great homage to a great work, too. Thanks!

[bobskins808]

well played. much respect
