BECK IS STYLE

Great cover, good to see mistakes i think... proves we are all human! Thanks for uploading...

@lloydwilliamsuk The tabs are actually listed on John Martyn's site. Fairly simple song, save for the tuning is CGCGCE. I love this version of it. At first I was a little turned off by the keyboards, but it comes together quite well in the end. And the keyboardist also playing the vibes with a free hand? Fantastic!

It has such a dusky, nostalgic sound to it the way it's arranged here. A great example of a well-orchestrated "less is more" construction for a song.

Don't forget that Youtube often causes audio-visual synch problems. Could be that?

I think it is just a bunch of bar chords in open tuning.

Prerecorded?Ridiculous! Fantastic cover. The composer, John Martyn, passed away almost a year ago RIP. He was a close friend of another open-tuning folkie-Brit much admired by Beck: Nick Drake

[DerekAllan]

this is definitely not pre-recorded as someone thinks below. I was at this taping and it was very, very live...mistakes and all.

Watch his fingers, they don't match up with the sound of the guitar. I think the bit at 3:10 is just due to the shitty quality of the video, but to each his own.

The major tip off that these vocals were pre-recorded is at 3:10. That's not a digital or analogue echo, when his mouth leaves the microphone.

No, that's a background track they are playing to "live."

Just like they did in the 60s, except this is a recording of a live take he liked.

Beck is the composite of the dedicated attempt to pop stardom, thinking of everything, mainly image.

Just so happens his music is pretty good too.

John Martyn would be proud...great song...great cover!
