How to play road by nick drake

Not easy to play or teach through a camera but I tried my best. Note that he doesn't play it this way every time during the song. There are a few different picking variations that I couldn't fit into a 10 minute video. But each of the main parts are there.

that is not the correct tuning..Drake plays Road in DGDDAD with capo on 4..Also picking wrong in places...Get it Right!!!

@ThePonchogringo If you know how to play the song why are you trolling this vid? I checked your channel for the correct way to play and tune but wasn't there?! Go away, my videos are not for people who already know it all and have nothing to contribute. I may be wrong, I may not, I'm not discussing it with a troll. I may suck at tutorials but you, sir, suck at life.

Hey, is there any sheet music or tab online? I need it to be able to transmit this song for GCSE.

Nice Vid. I would also recommend going to nickdraketabsdotcom for the best tablature. That's how I learned this song and several others.

The tricky bit of Road is that bass part, and from personal experience the best advice I can give anyone is to simply play with the tablature in front of you VERY slowly several hundred times until you get it right. It took my a week or so as I recall.

And yes the correct tuning is EADEBE. The troll is completely wrong.

@ThePonchogringo Do better, then.

Great Video! I just started listening to Nick and this is one of my favorites. You are the only one on youtube that I've found who is brave enough to teach this amazing song. Thanks.

thank you :)

@ThePonchogringo I have tried it in DGDDAD and this version is more accurate, the "bridge section isn't playable properly in DGDDAD as far as I can see.
