[Raurex]

hell I'd pay to see you perform. Nice job man!

[marcramone2]

It's the same guitar that Nick used in a Bryter Layter?

[frankvyvyan]

Similar - both being small-bodied mahogany guitars. Mine's a Martin 00-15whereas Nick had a Guild M20.

great cover, I love this song, just can't quite play it yet.... my question is, how do you go about recording the video and the audio like that, what kind of webcam are you using? The 2 I've tried have a lot of lag so every movement is blurry. I have a mic and I need to get a good webcam so I can use my mic for the audio, I'm sick of using my digital camera with a bad mic on it to record.

[frankvyvyan]

Thanks man. Actually, what you see and hear is just my digital camera on its own, as I couldn't work out how to upload the audio separately! Shame, as the audio was so much better on my Boss Micro BR recorder. Good luck.

[RhetoricCamel]

yeah I was kind of afraid of having to do something like that myself. I could record both at the same time as separate tracks and then line up the second audio with the video but I was hoping it would be easier than that, oh well. Thanks for the reply. Have you written the tabs out for this at all? I've found them for the intro but then just the chords for the verses and chorus but don't know exactly how to finger pick it.

[letsgetignorant]

[samfrombelgium]

Dude I love this song, used to play it... gonna have to try it again. Great job!

[Caprile91]

Veeeeeeeeeeeeeery good. Am a huge Nick Drake fan and completely agree that you really aced this. Bravo!

[greentoaster]

You nailed it. This is the exact heavy, bored-with-life, downtrodden atmosphere that the Nick Drake's version conveys. Nice one!

[lalamorgannn]

This is good. Sounds a lot like the original.

[j3ohnny]

what a great song man my favorite nick drake song is from the morning...is that a 000-15?, i got one and love that guitar i play it everyday...

[ItinerateWolfMop]

It's actually a Martin 00-15!

[caquintet]

Really good version really starts to catch the atmosphere Nick creats in his version, very close playing style, thanks for posting

[xlaurencrystalx]

Wow sounds really similar to the original! ChristianMierda is right - totally different league to my rubbish attempt!

[marm3l]

great voice

[Androlola]

very good^^ nice guitar playing too.

[JimB667]

Stayin true... bravo

[plip365]

[GreyStrat]

You capture the spirit of Nick's version well, both vocal and guitar playing

[buniluvr]

Good job mate! Nice job on the finger picking!  Keep um coming!

[thelovecraft]
