Flabbergastingly wonderful!

Between you and Tobias in Germany, you have Nick Drake perfectly covered - great job! I might just have to sell off my studio gear and give up!!!

Simply incredible. I never thought that I would see such an accurate emulation of Nick Drake. I remember reading an article in Q magazine years ago about a Tribute to Nick Drake concert that, although touching, ultimately failed because no singers or bands involved could quite capture the delicate essence of Drake's sound. But you have nailed it with all of these wonderful videos. I'm most impressed.

you are incredibly talented... the patience and commitment to produce covers of this standard is beyond me.
-
Brilliant. Wonderful. I love it. The whole production of yours. Thanks for sharing. Cheers André ☺

Perfect!

hey man how do you subscribe to your music? Your Nick Drake is awesome and you have got me into Elliott Smith! cheers

C'mon guys. Putting this much effort into creating a masterful cover is an achievement. Most musicians begin their career, or study, or whatever by trying to emulate what ha come before. There are precious few guitarists who can pull of drake covers. Many can get it close, but the finesse and mintue details and nuances are outrageously difficult to nail. Trust me. This is most impressive, and if it isn't so for you, then why are even watching this video! Kudos, Plectrum this is a great homage

The availability of the original doesn't alter the craftsmanship or the artistry of the recreator. It affects the usefulness, that is true. Another point is that many "originals" are only original in a superficial way and heavily borrow from existing songs, or are throdded chord structures with uninspired lyrics. Obviously I am just as grateful as you are for artists like Nick Drake, who made truly original music.



could you tell me what strings you use please

I've been asked this before,strangely enough I can't say,I bought this guitar last year on Ebay and I still haven't changed the strings...I'm going for that "dead string" sound that he gets,particularly on the Pink Moon album.

Plectrum,
You are absolutely and utterly amazing! I have your cool version of "Parasite" included in my Nick Drake playlist on my Ipod. What are you working on these days? Whatever it is I look forward to hearing it.

I discovered your playing very recently (I am new to YouTube !) and am so impressed with your musicianship and dedication. The world is a better place whenever I listen to your inspired renditions of Nick Drake songs especially, and I look forward to discovering your next postings. You are blessed with great talent ! Thank you for being there.
