Well, looks like I'm 9 years late at this point. Wouldn't expect you to see this but felt compelled to join the chorus of voices - in saying what an inspiration you are. Thanks for carrying the torch so artfully on behalf of Nick. 👏
Hey Tobias! Been watching your covers of Nick Drake for years now and have never found anyone who comes close to matching your ability, so so good!!! Just wanted to say your playing is truly amazing to watch, thanks!!!!!
@sethtastical Thank you for your comments! So for subscribing. I appreciate the kind words. It means a lot. In this case, I don't really remember. It usually takes me up to a few days to learn a song by ear once I figured out or looked up the tuning. Constantly refining my renditions over time though. I've been playing guitar since 2009.
Wow... I hardly ever listen to covers on TH-cam they mostly don't capture the essence of the song. But my friend yours it excellent!! I almost felt like I was watching Nick himself. I don't say that often. You really are very talented. I have been teaching myself guitar not very good at all but it's been fun learning. Keep up the good work.
@JesseMathews Thank you so much for the comment! I really appreciate it Jesse. You're too kind. Though i'm really glad you liked it of course ;-) I wouldn't know how to approach such a beautiful piece of music other than displayed here. Well there are always new details of Nicks guitar work i discover working on a tribute. I try. best regards
Tobias, this put tears to my eyes. Your delicate approach to this is just incredible... You remind us how special Nick's music really is and always will be. Great job! -Sam
@TubaGirl01 Thank you :) So for subscribing of course! You're too kind. I'm really glad you liked my try. I appreciate that you took your time and stopped by!
Tobias, 9 years have passed since you made these. I hope your getting as much enjoyment out of life as I am Learning these songs during lockdown in Ireland. I am extremely greatful to learn by watching your renditions.
@unclealbert72 Really, i don't know any more words to describe how much i appreciate your comments! Thank you :) Much appreciated. I'm really glad you enjoyed one of my attempts once more. all the best
I don't have anything written down for my rendition. But you can try nickdraketabs com and see if that fits your needs. I think it's pretty close. Generally a great source for tabs of Nicks songs.
Hi Tobias! Honestly I feel like I'm listening to the original. I can't imagine playing and singing this at the same time. You play so effortless yet precise. Absolutely amazing. BRAVO! cheers, julie
I've always loved Nick Drake's stuff and this is one of my fave songs. I play guitar but had found Nick's songs to be just about unplayable for someone of my limited ability. However with the tab,this clip and a LOT of practice I've finally got it! I can't believe it. It actually sounds pretty good. Thanks Tobias. Keep posting your amazing renditions. Dave - Liverpool :o)
Hi Tobias, I feel the same way as Julie, your playing is simply amazing, not only you perfected the guitar playing of nick you also have the same kind of mood in all of your way of performance, and as you go you get better with he's songs, this was better then the older one you made that got deleted for sure man, as always great job! :) Cheers, Jesse
It's hard to play any Nick Drake song without a SUPER steady hand, and it's easy to lift the pinky once you become a more confident player, so don't worry. I used my pinky a bit when I learned Nick Drake songs. Great job!
Thanks for the comments and kind words, Phoebe. I'm glad you enjoyed my renditions! Sorry to say that I'm not singing a lot or recording a lot of covers anymore, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. I learned a few songs of his in the past but haven't recorded any of them yet. I'll let you know if I get back to it.
My focus simply shifted over time. One other reason is, that my voice was never that reliable to begin with. In the end I had to force it, and that wasn't fun, so I put it on hold.
Thanks, Mike. Maybe I'll return to it later on, but as I said, there was just that element missing that I could fully control. My voice was always different on a day to day basis and pretty limited overall. On top of that, my ideas and influences lie elsewhere, so I just have to follow what drives me and what I can rely on.
@mmarzl Hey, danke dir :) Du musst nicht alle durchgehen, die meisten wirst du schon kennen ;-) Hatte meinen Kanal Jahresanfang ausversehen auf Eis gelegt und dabei mein Videoarchiv verloren. Nun sind die wichtigsten neu hochgeladen worden. Ich bearbeite die Audiodatei vom Zoom optional mit GarageBand auf Mac. Meist nur die Lautstärke, aber da gibt es ja noch Detaileinstellungen für Höhen und Bässe die ich gerne nutze. Das wird dann unkomprimiert mit dem Video gerendert. Gruß
Wow - your playing and seeing singing are fantastic but the performance is so much more. You really capture the essence of the song - bravo! And don't worry about your pinky. Hendrix shouldn't have played with his thumb around the neck but it worked for him. Just keep doing what works for you.
Hey, ich wollte mich nur bei dir unbekannterweise bedanken. Das Lied und deine stimmen haben mich nach dem Tod meines Bruders sehr oft und lange begleitet. Auch wenn es Nick drakes Lied ist, der Text passt perfekt zu ihm. Also ganz einfach danke.
Absolutely gorgeous. I have never heard a Nick Drake song played with such reverence for his soul and memory. I cover many of his songs and think your technique is beautiful. Are you on Fandalism? My name there is Virginia Kathryn, guitar and vocals. This recording is simply stunning. (And you have lovely hair. ;) )
Beautiful. But I see the date. Are you still doing Nick Drake covers? I hope so. Could you do a whole nick Drake album? I'd love to put it on my CD player and listen to it with my girlfriend with a bottle of wine. Beautiful. Ta!
Thanks, Jean! Much appreciated. I don't play his songs anymore, but maybe I'll get back to it at some point. In the meantime, I could compile my recordings and send it to you if you like. I pretty much covered all of his songs. But it's not usual CD quality as you can hear ;)
Very very good. Is it a pain to tune that way? I'm considering tuning one of my guitars to this tuning but it's always such a hassle. Do you have any tricks that can help me with the tuning?
Well, looks like I'm 9 years late at this point. Wouldn't expect you to see this but felt compelled to join the chorus of voices - in saying what an inspiration you are. Thanks for carrying the torch so artfully on behalf of Nick. 👏
folks - this is as close to hearing nick singing the track!.
Hey Tobias! Been watching your covers of Nick Drake for years now and have never found anyone who comes close to matching your ability, so so good!!! Just wanted to say your playing is truly amazing to watch, thanks!!!!!
Ben Winer That's really kind of you to say. Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy my covers of his songs.
Dude, marry me.

This is absolutely beautiful and it really goes to show how hard that bass hits in the original song
He embodies this talented musician to such a degree that I'm certain Nick Drake would applaud his performance....
Amazing 👏👏👏 Nick would be so pleased to hear such a beautiful rendition ❤️
12 years later.. But is magic as Nick you really match you really fit in..
Applause
Amazing covers of Nick Drake! Are you Nick Drake reincarnated or what?? What an amazing musician you are! Thanks Bro!

;-) Hope you enjoyed my rendition. Thank you for stopping by!
(just a quick fyi for players - the tab site has had to move to nickdraketabs.co.uk sadly)
touchy2 Thanks for the heads up! Since I get asked about tabs a lot, I was afraid I didn't have any proper resource to refer to anymore.
Whoever did it....
Please be my king
@Quaby2
I kind of got used to it then ;-) Can't really estimate that^^ Thanks for your comment.
You've Aced this one, mate...Lovin' this!. Done this track a lot of justice...a lot of Drake fans are going to be very happy now.
+trevor bell Thanks, Trevor! Really glad you enjoyed my try on it. Much appreciated.

Well played sir, well played
What a version❤
it would make me really happy if you did some elliott smith covers
Thanks for the comments and kind words, Phoebe. I'm glad you enjoyed my renditions!
Sorry to say that I'm not singing a lot or recording a lot of covers anymore, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. I learned a few songs of his in the past but haven't recorded any of them yet. I'll let you know if I get back to it.
Tobias Wilden Any reason you are not singing or recording many covers?
My focus simply shifted over time. One other reason is, that my voice was never that reliable to begin with. In the end I had to force it, and that wasn't fun, so I put it on hold.
It is sad to hear that you've given up singing, because you have a good voice, man.
Thanks, Mike. Maybe I'll return to it later on, but as I said, there was just that element missing that I could fully control. My voice was always different on a day to day basis and pretty limited overall. On top of that, my ideas and influences lie elsewhere, so I just have to follow what drives me and what I can rely on.
You are so incredibly awesome.
I think I'm in love.
Super job
Just covered this song today. Used your video as a reference. Thanks !
great cover !
Very well done.
beautiful cover man,

hey buddy i relly enjoy listening to your playing and singing keep up the good work .love fellow guitarist john mclaughlin
you have nick drake's chin :-) you play really fine! thanks for doing this!!
Brilliant ❤
that was really good man
Beautiful, heartfelt cover. Thanks for sharing. That bend at 1:15 always gets me. Have you heard the acoustic version Nick Drake recorded?
Thanks! Yes, I think that's what motivated me to record the cover. But I'll have to revisit the different recordings to make sure.
Hey, ich wollte mich nur bei dir unbekannterweise bedanken. Das Lied und deine stimmen haben mich nach dem Tod meines Bruders sehr oft und lange begleitet. Auch wenn es Nick drakes Lied ist, der Text passt perfekt zu ihm. Also ganz einfach danke.
Great, man !!!
Please do some nick drake guitar tutorial too.
Amazing
very very very nice
Fantastic
John Lewsey Thank you. I'm really glad you think so. I appreciate it.
Please do a tutorial this is unbelievable
AWESOME picking. looks fiendishly difficult.
Absolutely gorgeous. I have never heard a Nick Drake song played with such reverence for his soul and memory. I cover many of his songs and think your technique is beautiful. Are you on Fandalism? My name there is Virginia Kathryn, guitar and vocals. This recording is simply stunning. (And you have lovely hair. ;) )
brusto
wonderful
Very nice
sounds really good!! would love to know the tuning of the guitar, so i can learn this but either way loving the cover!
Thanks. I probably used BEBEBE.
Top-notch!
Beautiful. But I see the date. Are you still doing Nick Drake covers? I hope so. Could you do a whole nick Drake album? I'd love to put it on my CD player and listen to it with my girlfriend with a bottle of wine. Beautiful. Ta!
Thanks, Jean! Much appreciated. I don't play his songs anymore, but maybe I'll get back to it at some point. In the meantime, I could compile my recordings and send it to you if you like. I pretty much covered all of his songs. But it's not usual CD quality as you can hear ;)
jesus! perfect
Nailed it!
Very very good. Is it a pain to tune that way? I'm considering tuning one of my guitars to this tuning but it's always such a hassle. Do you have any tricks that can help me with the tuning?
Bravo
Another superb cover Tobias. I can't help but notice the guitars on your back wall, so what's the story about those?
