Donovan Sand and Foam cover

I love, love, love this song. Okay, so as usual I messed up a few times, but I love the song so much that I even love my version. Now *that's* love.

FYI, this song was recorded with my (new) Blueridge BR-63 and Blue Snowball mic. Because of my new mic, the audio here is like 3495873458973945 times better than on my other vids.

So...ignore my lousy voice and enjoy the beauty that is Donovan's "Sand and Foam."

Very nice... the vocals are a little too quite though.

@kingcherub I like to mix 'em low because I don't have a great singing voice. :-)

Nice! How do you like the Blueridge? I am thinking of getting that model.

I like it alot! The neck is not as beefy as on some guitars, which is good for me because I have small hands. If you want to spend a little more money, there is also a version with, I believe, solid rosewood back and sides...I haven't played one, but I'll bet that one's even nicer. But the one I have sounds great too. Thanks for watching!!

One of my favorite donovan songs covered so beautifully :) Just perfectly played and sung, a very sweet voice, i love it!

[mymytheysigh]

Thanks! I had to play it first and record the singing afterwards....I'm not so good at playing and singing at the same time, especially when I have just learned a song (as I had this one when this vid was recorded)...singing really isn't my forte.

Nice playing :)

How/where did you learn to play this?

[palmalal]

Really good, good description also, can I be a cheeky begger and ask were you got the tab?

[HorridFroth]

I really enjoyed this.

[LiteGauge]

Beautiful!

Nice cover! I absolutely love this song & love Donovan....have been a fan of his for many years. Could you send the chords?

I also have small hands & have problems with bar chords & some other chords.

Your hands might be small but your fingers look long. I have really small hands & find most guitars difficult. When you say "beefy" what did you mean?

How much would a guitar like yours cost about? Is this guitar designed specifically for a guitar player with small hands?

excellent job, great song presentation--the audio is a little crusty, but your guitar work is very nice.

Thanks for your reply! Keep on playing!
