i am the worse guitarist in the world, but I have always taken comfort in this fact by knowing only John Martyn can do what he does and if I can't be as good as him, well...... whats the point in trying.
and then I come across a video like this - yersonofabitch..
Seriously, great work. Deeply impressed (albeit a touch, but just a touch, jealous)
@PretzelLogic please don`t give up. I knew somsbody playing really good- but he thought like you. He had been my teacher, the band came, he did not play, me I played a blues, they knew I just started learning, so nobody could listen to his music, because he wanted to be perfect. So, please Pretzel- do not give up!
nice playin. easy to figure out from bbc dvd. i posted tuning on john martyn guitar freaks forum ages ago. your clawhammer technique is awesome. what strings/guitar u usin?
Cheers. i couldnt find the tuning or the tabs for this anywhere so i figured it out. i just sort of stumbled across it. if i can find a way to translate the tuning to u i will do

Great cover, you really get Martyn's feel down with both your playing and singing. So very well played.
Wish I could sing and play guitar at the same time!

I like the guitar but your voice sounds to soft, NICE but kinda soft, dont be afraid to sing out, but besides that I would say good overall job.

You are much too modest - your cover is brilliant! I give you ALL stars! Thank you for sharing.

Feeble? Not at all. Very nice rendition. Cool groove.

One of my favorites of Johns
Thank you for doing this
It sounds in a minor key - curious for such a joyful (if a little melancoly) song
