I cant finger pick for shit, but it sounds decent with a pic. It's not Drake by a long shot, but as long as I can sing to it...who cares...excellent vid man, much appreciated.

I have only been into this for about 5 minutes and immediately can see it is a brilliant fingerstyle guitar lesson and accurate as well, again thankyou for sharing this it is an eye opener.

You've cited the tuning in reverse. It should be BEBEBE.

thank you for this

[DrOrphious79]

Great Lesson as always mate!

My lil guitar hates the tuning but i just about got it now

Thank You:)

I think Nick would be pretty chuffed seeing all of us nutting out, sharing and learning his songs decades later :-)

[keiserwill]

Well done Sir these are just Superb lessons! proving hugely helpful getting me started with songs i would've never seen myself playing which is immensly satisfying :)) The McKee series you've done are quite brilliant! :) Since you've mentioned requests... Cello Song and Free Ride are two beautiful songs which haven't been represented in lessons yet, and since you seem to be very much with the way of Nick Drake, i selfishly suggest you have a crack at these if you ever get time. Will :)

[esbenschack]

Great tutorial mate! Can't wait to get home and start practising:-)

[esbenschack]

Great tutorial, mate! Can't wait to get home and start playing the song:-)

[ckcsucks]

My fave Nick Drake song! It's a nightmare for a beginner with a bad ear to tune up right but got there in the end...sort of. Brilliant lesson! Will definitely be looking at some of the other lessons.

You should note that the tuning you say is not necessarily correct. the Proper tuning is DADGDG (after capo on). The only reason for the capo is because nobody wants to snap 1&2. Other than that I like the way you play it, I do it a bit different i'll have to record and show you :)

[tellusdylan]

@Apoc269 @Apoc269 Thats a misconception mate. Nick used EBEBEB tuning for several songs, and this is definitely one of them. Don't trust those tab sites when it comes to proper tuning.

[Apoc269]

Its actualy DADGDG

Thanks for your comments, means a lot

Like Hendrix, you only really understand Nick Drake when you play him. But Drake doesn't have the marketing Hendrix always got.

Music needs more people like you.
