I DONT WANT TO KNOW (about evil) JOHN MARTYN cover

My interpretation of a particular favourite song by John Martyn ...I have heard lots of variations and versions of this on youtube so I thought I would add mine (played without the backslap for a change)...its not true to the original but I like it and perhaps someone else may do...the video doesn,t exactly go with it but I like that also...... and it does save people having to look at my ugly mug (so that has to be a bonus) simple arrangement acoustic guitar and double tracked vocal with a little reverb ...I rarely edit the audio ...I prefer to leave my mistakes and "tuning" issues in although it may have paid me to take the last two lines out...anyway if you want to hear an absolutely spot on version have a listen to Ianmcgeachy cos the JM covers don,t come any better than his.....

thats going right on my fav thats some version man sounds great

[electricragtime]

@bedsitsongbird33 Thank you very much.....its an easy version to do live so it works for me.....I,m basically a very lazy geezer and the simpler the arrangement the better I like it.....so no fancy tunings...everything flatpicked ... just my kinda song...although I,m sure all the JM fans would disagree with me....Kev

@Robbyd91 Thank you ... its a song I have always liked .... but I thought I would venture from the backslap technique.....for me it works better like this.....Kev

@Robbyd91 Thank you my friend.... I have always liked this song .... a bit off key in a couple of places but it worked reasonably well........thanks...Kev

a hear ya man, theres nay point in the note for note stuff a think, as long as your melodys there thats enough a think, a bluff the shit out of everything and try and bend stuff to what a know and comfortable way, the easier you can make somethin the better, just ma thoughts on it, cheers again man

[electricragtime]

@tanglewoodtw400n Thanks Kev...I knew I didn,t want to do a direct JM note for note cover so I just played it as I wanted to hear it really....I do that a lot (mostly cos my guitar playing is limited and I,m aware of my limitations) ...I,m a bass player really....Kev

[tanglewoodtw400n]

Quality man. Love your take on this Cheers kev
