Nick Drake - From The Morning Lesson

[KALMO303]

honest to god, this is the best tutorial for any song ive ever used/watched. i learned this song over the summer last year and it took me no less than a week. i just really appreciate you taking your time to actually KNOW how to explain it. not just explain and assume that your viewers will know what you're talking about. thank you.

[FlyingThruCanyons]

awesome tutorial, just wished the video quality was a bit better to actually see the chords well enough. Question, when i looked up tabs online the tuning was BEBEBE? I'm really musically illiterate, can you explain?

[erotramp]

You have the number of the strings wrong. The Bass string is 6th and the high E is 1st string. Wow.

[keiserwill]

Excellent video!! and fantastic picking! practicing this intensively now, questions may follow..... :) if you feel like doing a tutorial for 'free ride' ....:) would go down really well ... i think its the only one noones really nailed in a tutorial CGCFCE

keep up the good work!

awesome!

[XXXDragonBoy27XXX]

that was a great tutorial thanks for taking the time off and teaching this song to me and everyone else in youtube

[funkyjamo]

YEAH!

Thank you so much. this is wick.

I love nick drake and you're good to teach it.

Uhh... a little slower to begin maybe and ... it's sort of hard to SEE where you're picking in the video.

Awesome lesson though... thanks !!!

You need to be more precise in how you explain the song. Not just like "And BOOM that string, then BOOM that string, and just like that, you know what im talking about"

NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!!

Anyway thanks for trying

[serai7]

after 4 minutes i got lost ><

[Niquk]

i wish more people would teach like this. especially nick drake songs. very imformative!

[PurpleJB99]

Great tutorial, thanks so much! The way you broke it down made it a lot easier to learn, I'll have it down in no time. :D

[tyfude]

Thanks man! This lesson was it for me. I'll do my best to keep it clean :-)

[thegoddamnyeti]

much easier tuned BEBEBE capo 1.

[buddaski]

is that a taylor guitar?

i bought one of theme...the 210ce.

[gabrielangello]

"Actually- this song is played in BEBEBE tuning which is much lower." However, you can

play it in the tuning you use here.

[brainslug223]

@gabrielangello No this is correct, CGCFCF according to

the song book

[realmadrid8281]

thanks man

[alambada]

Grazie per l'opportunità :)

[embassyrow]

Not how Nick plays it, but sounds good enough for any beginners out there. :)

[acegitaar]

great! this really sounds very alike 'Drake':)

thanks!

[zkafel]

hey just a FYI for the next time you are going to do a lesson video... please refer to the "first string" as the high E string, not the low E string as you are in this video. so, the third string would be your G string (in standard tuning) not the D string. understand? it goes like this.. EADGBE = 654321. this is the way guitarists have been referring to the strings forever, its the correct way. (just FYI) good video other than that

[brainslug223]

@zkafel but you knew what he meant so.....who cares.

[zkafel]

@brainslug223 i was just trying to help him out. the comment i made is 2 years old.

[stevolution666]

cool, im gonna go over this cos i am sloppy, thanks man

[ddevil5032]

nice video..plz post more lessons on nick drake..love ur work and ur instruction set..make's it a lot easier for playing

[larkie57]

Thank you Kevan. I'll work on that, you have a nice instructional style and you play it very nicely too. I hate tuning up to F though, I've nearly taken my eye out once or twice (I use an 11 gauge)....

[sleestack]

thanks. Could you explain the capo thing?

[KevanHanson]

This way of playing the song relates to how he tunes most of the other songs on the Pink Moon album, like Place to Be, Pink Moon, and Which Will. By simply dropping the high e from the F I had you put it in, you can put a capo on the 3rd and 4th frets to play Place to Be and Pink Moon. Same tuning, just easier to do when you are in concert or something and you only have one guitar. That way, you don't have to change the tunings again.

[sleestack]

where did you reference the tuning? There seems to be different opinions on the tunings on the net. Ive seen From The Morning played 3 different ways now. Seems no one really knows. How did Nick come up with these tunings back in 74 without references? Maybe they used varispeed on a tape machine. And how would you tune your guitar if your ear isn't that good to an alternate tuning? Thanks

[switchpath]

How did you learn how to play this song dude?
