Just revisting your Drake covers :)... I've been trying to re-learn this one. I'm almost there, but the last bit of the intro is giving me trouble! Well, I used to be able to do it, so I'll keep trying! You always played this one very beautifully. x
Brilliant! I honestly thought I was listening to a recording of the original when you started. It's no surprise you have so many views! ALL STARS to YOU!
you have an amazing voice, Lisa. its very smooth and mellow. and you are definitely a great guitarist. PLEASE write some originals too! i'd love to hear you doing your own style!
this is really good, fantastic singing. but, you made the same mistake i did when learning this song with the right hand. in the bass, alternate the E and A strings in 8th notes. actually makes it a lot easier to play too because you don't have to try to do so much with your index finger.
An amazing version of one of my favorite Nick Drake songs. Very impressive singing and finger picking--that is very hard to do at the same time. I'm sure Drake, who rarely performed in concert, could not have performed it better in a live setting.
Wonderful! Looking at your Drake, Joni and Sandy Denny covers, I think you should check out Terry Callier. Quite an amazing artist, and in the same vein but different since he was an African-American doing anglo folk with jazzier vocals.
He's also much more popular in your neck of the woods than over here in the states. The English have good taste, I guess. ;)
Look for "New Folk Sound" by Callier, and after that, "Occasional Rain." I know you'll love him.
I wish I could get that picking. You lay off on the thumb when you let the high E and B ring. I wish I could work out what you're doing. Really good BTW.
I am impressed to see someone who can finger pick to this standard, it's becoming very rare. You're playing is highly impressive as is your voice. You've even convinced me to grow my nails back so that I can start picking the guitar as good as I used to, so I hit the jelly tomorrow! Thank you for posting your Vid's as I enjoyed watching them. Regards Chris.
Brilliant, really brilliant! Guitar playing is top rate, and your voice is lovely! Best cover of this song I've ever heard, to say the least. Where did you find the tabs? None that I've come across are even close to accurate!
Thank you for sharing your versions of such great songs. I love your ND covers and the way your voice lends a different colour to the songs. You have pretty nimble fingers on the guitar too, you make me practice more!
Damn' fine, Lisa! I'll sign up to all those who've said they don't normally appreciate hearing these covers, but you did Nick's memory full justice. Keep it up!
brilliant Lisa..I so wish I had your talent....!!! I really hope you are pursuing this...you do have a uniqueness to your voice, and a real substance behind it..I wish you luck....right enough compliments for one day!!!
I'm not a fan of Nick Drake covers in general, they seem such pale imitations. But this is an exception. Your guitar playing is first class and your voice is so beautiful. Keep up with the music, you're so much better than much of the dross around today!!
i agree with comment below, also i like the way your right hand moves when you play, most people hands look stiff and ungraceful when they play, but your hands are nice and relaxed, it adds to your performance
you are the shit,a girl who likes nick drake and can nail his stuff, my girl freind looks at me like im retarted when i listen to nick, makes me wish i learned how to fingerpick when i started playin,but im tryin
Your interpretation is incredible!Usually I don't enjoy listening to my favorite songs played by You Tube users,but THIS is SO GOOD!It's so hard to play-and yet you do it almost perfectly,you keep the rhythm,melody,and everything combined,even if it sometimes "drops" a bit.The music just FLOWS out of you naturally and yet you're so focused!And I love your voice,makes me think about Woodstock:).I've favorited this song and keep coming back.Good luck with the music!
Thank you so very much for such an encouraging and kind comment! I'm glad you like my version of this song. Your comment has made my day! Thank you for your words! :)
Beautiful. I wondered how you were going to tackle the missing 'cello but your soaring vocals were a heavenly replacement. Look forward to checking the rest of your videos out. Peace
sweet.. i tried this song a little awhile ago when i first learned it, still have the vid up but it's not that great. peep if you'd like though. i enjoy your version
Be sure to check out Nick Drakes "new" album 'Family Tree' is you haven't done so already, its pretty awesome! I think you should do a cover of 'Blossom' by Nick
Very close second one Lisa. Nice! It can be a chore sometimes getting "the right take" I KNOW! but in the end it's all worth it. Perfection here concerning Nick's music is paramount--maybe one day I might have a vid up again...maybe not...I envy you. Wish me luck.
Bravo. Beautifully done.
