Nick Drake - Road (cover)

[ShawnMattCraw]

Great job

[gillygilly250]

Sounds perfect =]

[CrestFallenOnline]

beautiful, you nailed it :)

[gio139]

tuning??

[slyfoxbear]

This is rough but I bet you playing it Live would bring a lot more to it. Great song. Big ups on even attempting a cover of it. Please check out Jose Gonzales your voice sounds a little like his and he's like an evolution on the stuff Nick Drake was doing back in the 70's record some originals and throw them up here!!

[givingitashot1]

this is good shit man!:)

[CptSoban]

[oswegash]

Heya, Long time since I've viewed this video... it's still awesome!! I'm touring Ireland and Scotland in the autumn of 2010... think you'll be playing anywhere I can hear you?? Much peace and all my best wishes to you my friend! Julia

[tazio2]

Absolutely Superb guitar work ! what tuning are you using ?

[orsh13]

[ratatstrychnine]

[lpvdg]

This is also my all time favorite Nick Drake song ! GREAT job, keep it up !

[ViciousViolin18]

i really think you did good- sing a little louder

[stawney]

Sweet playing and your singin sound pretty nice too, but I also wish that the sound would be a lil louder.

Still a great job!

-Stanley

[carmelgurlz05]

[damienguitar]

capures the spirit of the original very sweet .

[AWiddit]

nice job man. Well played...

[buniluvr]

Bravo!  Just beautiful - your playing really captures the spirit of the original. 5+*****

cheers

[Ris161]

The best Nick Drake cover on youtube... but the original is still better. :)

When are you posting new covers of Nick Drake?

[z0rgz0rg]

terrific.. and the choice to focus only on the guitar (instead of face) was absolutely the right one

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Hey sweet one,

Today would have been Nick's 60th birthday. Just wanted to stop by and thank you again for so beautifully singing this amazing song of his!! You've got some mad finger picking skills, my friend. Hope all is well with you!!

[hueldereich]

cheers to that buddeh :]

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Still my all time favorite Nick Drake song!! Still waiting for your re-cover!! This one is great, mind you, but I do WANT to hear more of your voice!! C'mon, you promised!! Let's do it, eh??!!

[PeterOzanne]

Very nicely done! About the voice: few are born with a great vocal instrument, but you have reasonable tone and diction. Don't be down on your voice; do some research, get into it, do some regular gentle exercise with it, pay it more attention, and you'll enjoy it more, as well as sounding nicer. We guitarists spend so much time plucking, and tend to neglect our vocal technique! Good Luck.

[yourmaw]

fuck sakes man, that's the closest cover i've heard to the real thing! i think it's amazin!

[comonyerbloke]

u wa? LEWTER LA!

[chipeat]

Relax that right hand a bit bro, youre tensing up like crazy. Well played nonetheless. Keep it up.

[JennaFinland]

I enjoyed listening to this, and believe me, you have been blessed with a great and very comforting voice. Keep it up!

[loomskichoom]

note perfect.... A favourite of mine too....Give us more... cheers

[ThumbsAtWork]

Awesome playing! 5/5

[BitsOfStuff78]

My favourite Drake tune, and nicely done MB.

I've always felt that this was Nick's response to John Martyn's Solid Air :)

[anthonydodge]

wonderfully played ! great cover ! Spot on !

[BubbaFart]

Nice playing! Jus' wonderin' what kind of guitar is that? Sounds real nice. Nice tone.

[MuNkYBizNess]

Hi, this was played on my EG523SC Super Jumbo by Takamine.

[amccann7]

Great playing!

[shadepixie]

Oh, wow, I love you. :)

[kylek02]

How do you tune to DGDDAD?

[kylek02]

Whats the tuning?5

[ollor]

Just great! This is the only proper cover version guitar speking, on youtube period!!, very nice playing!Please do things behind the sun, i love playng it, sure you will to, i'd like to hear you tackle it!

[MasterOfAPuppet89]

amazing guitar work u make me jealous

[BaudeLaire78]

very good cover! and great song!

[diggy75]

crap man. your awesome!

[efcgarv]

Excellent playing i think your voice alright mate its a bit low but you play guitar with some conviction and sounds true to Drake's recording. Will have to pick this one out myself. Thanks for that,

[oatslope]

Yes! Great work. Very accurate and good tone.

Just one thing: the second note of the bass melody, he holds it just a bit longer then what you're doing. Take a listen (if you care).

[oatslope]

just a huge relief to see someone playing his songs properly on YouTube.

[Elementca]

wow, thats a great sound. I dont have the ear to transcribe it myself and the tabs on the internet dont sound completely accurate, did you tab it yourself?

[poleslaw]

I've translated this song also, but I have no idea how to play it in the different way. Respect to You for fantastic feeling of original!

[evanrkg]

Very nice! I just learned this one and I reckon I'll give it a go.

[LeonardAndNickFan]

There you go! Bravo.  "learned"... see?? And, please, anything to cover up my embarrassing repeated posts. Completely unintentional... the system wasn't working, I swear!!

[LeonardAndNickFan]

p.s. happy to see you two getting acquainted... since you're both featured so prominently on my channel. And what's with "learnt"?? That's twice I've heard it from you two. Over here we spell it "learned". Either way... you both have fierce talent.

[LeonardAndNickFan]

I still don't get the whole picking versus strumming thing. But, I've so enjoyed listening to my friend play this song!! He really must stop denying his own talent and record a version with louder vocals. I'm confident that within a fortnight (a term not frequently heard over here) we'll have it!

[StuartAnthony]

Great guitar playing. I can't play like that. Never learnt finger picking properly and I bite my nails!

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Why won't it let me post a comment????

[NickDrakeVirtuoso]

yeah same as here

which is sad, because id like nothing better than to play nicks songs.

[NickDrake101]

Very inspirational, I'm thankful that people like yourself Joe, Lisa, Plectrum...and so many others put so much quality time in.

[purpleduke77]

hey that bril can you show us the tuning for it?

[MuNkYBizNess]

I sent you the info

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Gorgeous!... but sing louder!! You're amazing.

[ptunya]

LOVE Nick Drake - great job! :)

[mfulcher620]

Hey I'm also trying to learn this song, but I'm either not tuning my guitar right or the tab I found is wrong. How did you figure it out? (Nice playing by the way!)

[TheDruidKing]

Beautiful guitar.  Perfectly timed pick there.

[CentellaReggae]

Sweet guitar man. keep the good job

[audioglass]

That is so perfect man! I really do admire you.

[fell6]

good cover, but horrible singing, take some lessons man!

[audioglass]

Man that is one sweet cover! damn your pinky is so obedient!! how long you been playing?

[MuNkYBizNess]

Hehe, thanks. I don't seem to have as much trouble controlling the pinky as some do, just lucky I guess. I've been playing guitar for about 7 years now.

[JoshieBoy81]

Hi my man,

thanks for checking my vids.

This is spot on and lovely.

Nice one,

JoshieBoy.

[joeburton77]

fantastic, flawless guitar and a great voice - I'm working on this one at the moment and it's pretty difficult - great job!

[Fjeldged]

Really nice playing! Check out my version of 'Road', that I've just uploaded. It's played a little different.

[PullHairRubEye]

Sexy nails.

[audioglass]

Damn right!

[mrevilpants]

A flawless exhibition of a nick drake song i hadnt heard. Well done you fantastic chap you.

[OnosoFrancisquinho]

Very nice. 5 stars. Thanks for commenting my videos.I´m going to subscribe to your channel. Please, upload more videos!

[tommiji]

Awesome! Post more! Yay!

*applauds*

[Lisa4Guitar]

Very nice, 5 stars from me too. Your fingerpicking on this song is exactly like Nick's, which takes a lot of skill. Well played!

[groovycake]

I'm jealous of your nails :( I keep biting mine.grrrr

[coffeescup]

Please do another. This sounds lovely!

[Pr1mobmx]

wanna play some grindcore? the shoes in the band

[JimmyBoneJakon]

It is great seeing people like yourself playing the music of Nick Drake. Thank you!!!

[mofosstolemyusername]

I love this song, you done it justice. Good job :)

[MrPelicanPants]

Awesome. Anyone tell you your voice resembles that of James Taylor? Seriously, you sound like Taylor paying tribute to Nick Drake, which is a compliment indeed.

[mikectid]

thanks for your comment man, sounding good here think i might learn this one.

[derkman]

Very nice, smooth fingerpicking. Your voice sounded good to me..just could have had more volume over all.

I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[BelovedLigeia]

If you can do Things Behind the Sun, I'll marry you.

[colimacon34]

very good (and the voice is not so bad)

i've learned this song too but i am worse than you to sing it :)

difficult because the voice has to be quite but powerfull enough to hear it

[beenerneener]

The headless musician throws his voice, picks with his nails, and artistically places a Nick Drake album in the lower left hand corner of the frame! TRIPLE THREAT!

[lgrrpp]

Could you do it again with the sound up? The guitar sounds so good, singing is fine.Just can't hear it

[BlueScarecrow]

dont worry about your singing, it isnt bad at all. But thank you so much for posting this, its just insane how exact you're playing with Nicks! And of course it is beautiful, too.

[lostintheblues]

Man, I can't stop watching this....

I'm determined to learn this piece now.

[lostintheblues]

....lol that's simple enough. Thank you.

Does he use that tuning on any other stuff from pink moon?

[MuNkYBizNess]

Not on pink moon as far as I know

[lostintheblues]

Could you let me in on that tuning you're using?

[MuNkYBizNess]

yes of course, it's EADEBE with the capo on 3rd fret

[Fjeldged]

The tuning is one of his simpler ones, just tune the G-string to E. That is: EADEBE. And then comes all the picking stuff...

[Fjeldged]

Alright, didn't see the other post...

[CodyMontoya]

Very nice!

[khyberpass]

nice one mate...song is up there with Hazey Jane 1. Did a good job.

[dinosaur50]

Beautiful. Gave me goosebumps. Thank you.

[tgwpm]

great!

[fakeNRD]

Absolutely gorgeous. Well done Mr Munkybizness. Waiting for the next one.

[gamanil]

Excellent playing. Are you using your nails there?

[MuNkYBizNess]

Thanks gamanil, yup it's just the nails on this

[Guitarphil]

Lovely. Beautiful playing. I Will attempt Joey at some point...

[bloodnokian]

REally, really nice. You pick brilliantly! Shame your voice was so quiet.

[MuNkYBizNess]

aye sorry about that, I'm not too hot on the voice thing so I didn't put much oomph in to it. Thanks for the comment

[Danny127]

One of my favourite Nick Drake songs too :)  Brilliant cover.
