  • Stuck on Nick Drake.

    Posted by Ron-N on March 29, 2021 at 8:50 am

    I am stuck on Nick Drake. I have watched every Youtube special. Listened to every song multiple times. Is anyone playing any of his songs? Looking for an easy one to start on. Any suggestions? I have been playing around with Place To Be. I was hoping maybe Tony will do a week special on a Nick Drake tune. Can’t believe I never heard of him until a month ago.

    We had a genuine Pink Moon rise last night. Tony did feature Nick Drake 5 or 6 Acoustic Tuesday episodes back, or it may have been the guitar party in February? Tuning is definitely a thing with Nick Drake. For Pink moon tune down 8Hz if you are going to play along with Nick’s recording.

    Nick Drake’s stuff is awesome. My guitar teacher has started a series teaching Nick Drake songs. Can’t post the link here though. Search for Jon Yerby on YT

    Don’t think I’m there yet – I mean my ability to play his music. Can’t wait to move out of this beginner stage!

      Michelle, you are way past the beginner stage. I hereby confer on you the title of: Guitarist, Intermediate. You may play and learn any song of your choosing. Lol. Have Fun.

        Please feel free to view photos of my visit to Nick Drakes grave side on my instagram site martin.grant83 or goaty170.

        You will notice on one of the photo’s written on the back of Nick’s gravestone the words : Now we rise and we are everywhere. These words are taken from a very Beautiful song : From The Morning, from which is on his third & final album Pink Moon.
