Cover by me of 'Walk To The Water' by John Martyn off of the 'Bless The Weather' album 197,1 Island Records. Incidentally, the guitarist-singer John Smith did a very nice cover of this, for the recent John Martyn tribute album, & well worth a listen to. [JM Guitar nuttas: I used regular tuning but tuned open 2&1/2 tones down, tho' guitar here is capoed up 2 tones..net effect I was 1 semitone down from regular, at least roughly. This tune is fairly easy in structure, F-G- C-Am- Dm -G is basic sequence for picking around-& assuming regular pitch tuning is used, this piece would be in the Cmajor key. The picking is very natural in regular, & so I am fairly sure regular tuning was used by John Martyn himself for this, at some pitch. I used a Boss looper to record me 'bongo slapping' the soundboard of the guitar for a 'drumbeat' for the backbeat here. Recorded live on 2 tracks- drumbeat and mic'd guitar on 1 track and vocals (+ some guitar) on the other track. Try as I did, I couldnt learn the lyrics by heart on this- hence the constant cribbing while I played]

I've temporarily broken the monotony of work with covering this song: 'In The Evening' by John Martyn, never recorded on a studio album, but home recorded by him in 1972 then finally released on the recent 'Aint No Saint' box set.
[JM Guitar Nuttas: I used sus4 tuning, the capo on fret 2 means I used approximately Csus4 to play in. 'Cos I tuned to Bbsus4 open strings-roughly. This piece uses (like alot of his classic acoustic pieces- a 2 chord vamp, repetitively, but not the usual I-IV vamp. This is a ii-I vamp, so here I was using Cmaj for the I and Dmin (actually Dm11 mainly) for the ii minor chord. The 'shapes' to pick around are [0x4200] for the Cmaj chord- root on 6th str, and [x79000] for the Dmin11-This assumes you arent using a capo by the way and youre using the sus4 pitch of your choice to sing to. At least this is how I picked it. *Special thanks to Liteguage for his provision of the lyrics*- theyre the only ones written down. I actually modified them somewhat to what I hear...but John excelled himself on his vocal slurring and alliding of word on this one!.
Litegauge also is the first (and only other) person as I know to cover this song.
Recorded on 2 tracks 'live' MXL770 condensor mic (vox + guitar) and Samson pencil mic (mainly guitar). ] Apologies for the poor video quality- it seems my video camera is in its death throes...& I had to mess with the video speed to 'average' out to match the audio track, so some frames are a bit out of synch at times.
