Milk and Honey (Nick Drake version)

[Laumincey]

Wow!! This is so so great!

[snappa22]

Wonderful stuff - thanks for that!

[carlose0318]

most nick drake covers suck. but i loved this...maybe cuz its not really by nd? well done on playing and singing

[lilsheep68]

i envy you @: how did u learn to sound so similiarly to him :/

[sunregent]

this is quite accurate, good job.

[yeditepeli35]

Congratulations man! Awesome play awesome voice!

[Loke905]

Thats very cool,very much the same guitar and voice! Thumbs up!!

[buniluvr]

Awesome! Love the precision in your playing. This is killing me; can you PLEASE tab the third chord you're playing in the intro at .10 - .17. Also I can't for the life of me figure out that LAST CHORD! Bravo on an excellent rendition :)

cheers,

julie

[andreaongaro]

really wel done. ;D

[hyperflexed]

Hey, I've been dissecting this video for a while. Cheers for making a video that actually sounds like the song as it's played.

One thing that has me in the transcription is the E-like chord in the intro. The first 4 chords go Am, Am7/G, Asus4/F#(not sure on the name of it), and then Asus4/F. Right after that (0:18) it's an Am, then you use two chords that look very close to an E (this is going visually) at 0:22-0:25.

Any advice you could offer would aid me in tabbing this wonderful cover.

[frankvyvyan]

Glad you enjoy it. Yes, I do pride myself in being able to produce accurate renditions! The 2 chords you're asking about are 022200 (not sure of the name!) followed by an E. All the best, Frank.

[hyperflexed]

@frankvyvyan You know, Those are the exact same chords I'm playing now. I guess I just have to listen a little closer to the picking pattern. It's a very fluid song, moves around a lot. Thanks for the clarification.

[fewericks]

Great cover man! I'd love to learn this song but i'm afraid i'm not too at sharp learning picking patterns plus chords from just watching a video like this. If you ever find the time, a lesson of how to play this song would be greatly apprechiated! Cheers

[acrazyhippo21]

Great cover, and you sold me on that guitar.

[groovei]

Which model is that...sounds good.

[frankvyvyan]

cheers - it's the 00-15.

[ArnLegweak]

@frankvyvyan

I was gonna ask that, actually, I should be getting one if I can find one which I can pay for :L

[robertogiammanco]

[aButtholeSurfer]

[pippofilippo1]

Plus 5 star,

'couse I can't more..

[marchini87]

can u post the chords?

[riverface123]

Excellent stuff mate,*****

[seanziee]

Amazing job man, If someone told me you were Nick Drake (I dont actually know what he looks like) I would believe it. You sound great-- Ive been looking for how to play this song for months now, and now I think I can work it out. Thanks man

[frankvyvyan]

lol - that's high praise indeed! Well, I did go to the same school as him, but that's my only connection. Glad to have helped you out with the playing.

[mrcmxoner]

damn! so tight (Y)!!

[karloyt]

Let my first comment on youtube be for you. That says how much I like your version. :)

[buniluvr]

Brilliant! You've captured the soul of this song my friend! You've also covered all my favorite songs. Bravo and all stars to you ********!

cheers

julie

[eirinikos]

Nice job playing it, btw. I didn't say that before.

[eirinikos]

UGH. Why does everyone do that thumb over the neck crap. As a classically trained guitarist... makes me feel so dirty to even attempt it.

[frankvyvyan]

As much as I admire your loyalty to the classical technique, this song does actually require your thumb over the neck to fret the bass notes whilst playing the Am chord with hammer-ons. This is true for other innovative steel-string compositions, such as Davy Graham's 'Angi'. Time to get dirty, baby! :-)

[eirinikos]

Yeah.. I just can't do it. It's not pretention, it's just something I never developed. :/

[lasfinisimas]

yeah well you can take your classically training pretention elsewhere...here, we dont care much about it

[marchini87]

ur brilliant, where did u work out the tabs?

[frankvyvyan]

cheers man - I learnt it by ear. Best tip I can give is that you need to use your thumb around the neck (on both the 2nd and 1st fret) in order to play the descending bass line on the E string.

[alirussell111]

hey that was 100% perfect. im very very impressed, thanks 4 that

[currlina]

well done

[lejoe48]

Drake is simply the greatest...very good cover! Congrats, thanks!

[lukeashmoore]

Fan freakin tastic. is the tuning in standard? or a typical Drake open one?

[frankvyvyan]

Cheers man. Yes, it's standard tuning - played in A minor.

[lukeashmoore]

got it dude, now i can play it till the day is done. :p lol

[richypike]

NICE ONE :)

[coolhandluque]

awesome! encore!

[JosephMalicke]

Great work, the guitar is haunting just like on the original tapes!
