  • This is amazing! I don't suppose you have a tab for it? I really wanna learn it but I'm awful at playing by ear and I can't find a tab, no worries if you don't have one, I know a lot of people don't use them/play by ear.

    Congratulations on making a beautiful cover!

  • Cheers for your comment - glad you enjoyed it. Sorry, but I don't have a tab to send you, as I learnt it by ear.

  • What model is that guitar? Martin 000-15M??? martin 000-15??? martin 0-15 or vintage???. How much money is that guitar?. Is it the same guitar used by John Frusciante?. please reply soon. I beg you. thanks

  • Hi mate. It's a Martin 00-15, costing £700 here in the UK. I think JF has several vintage models - he can afford them!

  • Nice to see a rendition that's not based on Bert Jansch's arrangement...is that a Martin 00-15?

  • Yeah, I do prefer the sweet original. It is indeed a 00-15 - well spotted.

  • Excellent. Most of the other versions on YouTube try to emulate the guitar flourishes of the Nick Drake version or include some other stylistic pretension. Your rendition really captures the 'worn down folk singer in a Lower East Side bar' kind of thing. Captures the magic of the original song without being derivative. Great job.

  • I have just found this video of Blues Run the Game. I saw Frank play live at the Bristol Troubadour round 68/69 and thought it one of the best performances in a small club I had ever heard. Your version of the song is a delight.
