Sorry for the late reply. This is my third year playing guitar. It's never too late to pick up an instrument! Nonetheless, I'm really glad you enjoyed my rendition. I appreciate the kind words.
@@Geto456 I looked up the tuning somewhere online and then worked through the song by ear. Took me a while. But by now there are great tabs on nickdraketabs.co.uk
I'm glad you like my try. Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it. I think I used DR Rare Phosphor Bronze Medium (012 to .054). Regarding the video recording, I used a Pentax K7 and simply ran the audio with a single Zoom H2 recorder through Garageband on a Macbook. kind regards
So wonderful being able to see someone play Nick's music with such passion. He was greatly under rated not very well known by many. I love his music and I'm so thrilled to see your tribute to him.
As someone who has listened to countless hours of Nick's music your covers are absolutely incredible. Late to the party but thanks for keeping his music alive.
I'm 45 years old, playing guitar and within some kind of "Drake". But this is emotional, inspiring, amazing! I think reinkarnation is the word! Thank you
As a fingerstyle guitartist born in the same year as Nick Drake who doesn't sing and only discovered his work recently, Thank you for keeping Nick Drake's music alive so brilliantly.
Please keep covering whatever artist you want. And keep uploading it too. It is not about Drake you should do it. These covers show your ability to uncover the truth in each song. Thank you for sharing.
You got that whispery delivery of Nick Drake, vocalwise. This is probably one of my most favourite songs of all time, feels like a majestic meditation. You, sir, captured that aura completely and I'm short of adjectives now! Majestic performance, God bless you! ❤️
Mate, all your covers are amazingly accurate, with subtle, beautiful little twists of your own. They're all fucking fantastic. And i love that you keep your right pinky held down against the guitar the whole time, thats what i have to do.
TH3R3CS Thanks! I'm really glad you like them. Using the pinky there helps a lot, although it depends on the song. I guess there isn't really a wrong way of stabilising the picking hand.
Tobias that is so nice the way you play....you should come over to the uk for the nick drake gathering in Tanworth-In-Arden in 3 weeks time its amazing man this will be my third time there.....you'd love it....keep up the good work you are very talented.
FANTASTIC!! Another one of my all time favourite songs. There aren't many who could pull this off. Your fingerpicking is excellent! So good to see people appreciate Nick's music and give such a solid rendition. Brilliant.
I've always loved this nick drake track. you've really captured the essence of this track. the depth of the hurt and longing in the music is overwhelming.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. That is nice of you to say. Thanks. I really appreciate it. I continued and will continue to play, though I can't assess the "growing" part of it. Still, I'm definitely curious of what the future will bring.
Dein Cover ist absolut fantastisch! Ich kann mich nur wiederholen, du bist wirklich ein Genie! Jedes Mal, wenn ich denke, jetzt kannst selbst du es nicht mehr besser machen, lädst du das nächste Video hoch und überzeugst mich vom Gegenteil. Vielen Dank, dass du dein Können mit uns teilst! Liebe Grüße, Jolyne
I'm gobsmacked, that was amazing, they all are, just listened to about 5 of your Nick Drake covers and it's like he never went away. Excellent! Bravo! Bravo!
Wow!! You nailed it once again! I feel as if I'm listening to Nick play it live!! You are very talented please keep sharing your gift it makes the world a better place! What a treat for the rest of us to hear you play thanks so much!!!
Can’t believe I’m only seeing this now I’m learning this song and ur video helped me a lot your picking is excellent my man cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪 nick drake was other level sadly the world didn’t see it that way when he was alive !! Take care friend
Sometimes an interpreter does a more superior job than the actual writer. Tobias, I bow to you for the utterly unimprovable take on a great composition!!!! Nick would be proud!!! Too bad I didn't see this 8 years ago!!!!! Repeated listenings are a daily ritual now!!!!
This is stunning. Sitting watching this, I'm not just listening to an amateur like me, but to a talented, professional musician who should go far. Superb stuff.
@JakeKirkpatrick Thank you for sharing your thoughts :) That was fast. I thought about setting it to private and just checking the overall mix. (Still many flaws and mistakes) But now that it seems to be okay to listen to.. I'm really glad you enjoyed it so far! Maybe I'm not as statisfied about the take as I should be ;-) I played it in BBDGBE (Low E string down, A string up to a B)
@1978BenF It is a tough one. Not even to get technically right, but for me to keep concentrated for nearly seven minutes ;-) Well, it's still one of my favourites, and there are many many great tributes out there. Everyone has their own version. I don't really like to see this as a competition :) I'm really glad you enjoyed my try of course! Your comments are always much appreciated. Thank you for stopping by and listening.
Having rediscovered Nick Drake after 40 odd years I've since bought most of his albums, and am constantly surprised at just how good he really was( is!). But your versions of his songs are beautiful, and especially haunting for one so young. Lovely clean guitar picking and a vey good and sympathetic voice. Be nice to know your real name and what guitars you use. I'll keep listening, and thanks again.
OMG!!! You play Nick Drake too? I am liking you better and better man. Flourish on, we need more real true talent like yours to make valuable contributions to the world. Love and peace.
Thank you ,my friend,for that very useful info. 3 Hours was the reason I took up acoustic guitar way back in 1969! It still fascinates me after thousands of listens. It is so original and unconventional. I still can't seem to fathom all the changes.Amazing to think that the guy composed it when he was about 20! I did attempt to work it out about 20 years ago and got it at CFCFCF capo 2.I transcribed it and sent it to nd's publishers but got no response.Such is life. Kind regards to you too.
Awesome! And you make it look so easy. One of your BEST performances. You nailed every note! Outstanding - all stars my friend ************ cheers, julie

@@tobiaswildenmusic epic rendition man..excellent picking ,excellent voice
Unbelievable. I'm actually lost for words. What a great cover.
ditto here
Not very far from the original 👌
If only Nick Drake was alive today!.. He would have been massive!.. in a way i suppose he still is ..bless that soul
I'm almost 70 and I know Drake from decades . This is one of the best (if not the best ) rendition on Three Hours
I'm glad you like my try. Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it.

Not everyone can play and sing "Drake" and it will do it justice like you did! Brilliant!
So wonderful being able to see someone play Nick's music with such passion. He was greatly under rated not very well known by many. I love his music and I'm so thrilled to see your tribute to him.
Such beautiful music. I've never heard something this magical.
You play just like nick drake. Its amazing how you play with such grace and precision.
As someone who has listened to countless hours of Nick's music your covers are absolutely incredible. Late to the party but thanks for keeping his music alive.
I have no musical ability but I love nick drake. Watching you play that brought me to tears, simply beautiful
Thanks a lot. I'm really glad you enjoyed my rendition. And that you find it helpful of course. I appreciate that you shared your thoughts.

Just like to add how accurately you capture the essence of Nick. Your own compositions atr fine too.

Man ist das gut !! Ich bin schon dazu übergegangen deine Cover von Nick Drake anzuhören bevor ich mir die Originale anhöre 😅 Hut ab !!
i've been happ to only play nylon strings, but a sound this rich and deep really makes me want to explore steel string
I'm glad you enjoyed my rendition! Thanks for stopping by and listening. Much appreciated.
A genuine troubadour. With a wonderful touch on the guitar.

What i really don't like about most of nick drake's covers on youtube is the voice. Yours is just spot on!
Really nice. Beautifully done.
