Nick Drake - Parasite - Cover

My cover of Nick Drakes' Parasite, played a bit lower.
It's fair to say that he may have been on a bit of a downer when he wrote this, but I still think it's one of his best songs.

really like this one John...especially the base pattern, and the way you sing it! Great job!

[JonnDalton]

Cheers Rootham.

I'd been playing the bass wrongly for ages. I hadn't been alternating between the 6th and 5th. When I sussed this out it sounded so much better. Nothing new from you on the cards?

All the best

[PeterJordanNH]

Terrific!! Would love to attempt this if I had the tabs. Subscribing! Love your song selections.

nice overtone by the way I can't figure it out. Been trying to learn to play this

I agree Jon it is one of his best songs, downer or not! You did an awesome job of it my frend! I love the Scottish accent on "town"...charming

did you get my message regarding recording BTW?

[Stirrethcharybdis]

good job, i actually think it sounds good in the lower pitch, although it changes the feel.

Isn't it strange how notes have their own personalities?

[Rootham]

working on a Townes Van Zandt song among others....hopefully have something new soon.

Cheers man!

Cheers Guiseppe.

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out. I got a proper mike and external soundcard a while ago and it has helped get the sound better.

All the best.

Jon
