Years ago, in the latter stages of art college, I set about my ‘chair in a field’ project, which at that time, was more innovative than my previous works. Photography was a new medium for me, and like Bresson, I chose to take as many photographs as possible with B&W 35mm rolls, which left me with several photographs to work with. My friend Matthew agreed to be in the shoot and to use the fields...
Horn - Nick Drake (Cover)

Whenever I listen to or play this piece, I sense breathing and the holding of breath. The title ‘Horn’ implies controlled breathing applied to the instrument. This instrumental requires only two strings, 3rd & 4th, tuned to F# and C# respectively. Thank you for listening.

Last Hurrah - Vetiver (Instrumental Cover)
Amazing. Sounds exactly like the soundtrack. Who plays that song in the credits? Whats the title?
Amazing ❤
Great song!!! Great cover instrumental!!! Thanks!!!
Very nice. Those triplets are a bitch to get right like Mark (he at times doesn’t live either lol).
Everything about this was beautiful. Thank you.
Coming back for my Sam Lynch medicine and need it bad today... now 3:10AM. Never heard of someone who paints with strings. With brushes, yes. Strings? Sooo this guy paints a forest wearing its golden coat of sun. Thank you as I just hung it on my soul's wall celebration, my gallery of framed scapes of resonance and rhyme. THANK YOU OH TROUBADOUR EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!
Thanks for stopping by Micheal; much appreciated as always!
Wow! This is awesome. It evokes the same magical sound as listening to Nick's original version, and I haven't heard anyone else come even close to getting the same feeling. Marvellous. This is my yardstick to learn from now, after struggling with the clarity of Nicks home recording.
Fabulous. Saw in a documentary where a producer was saying Nick Drake 's finger picking was so consistent and strong. Not everyone can finger pick with such strength and precision. You'vre really got that going on. New subscriber. Looking forward to going over all your videos over the next few weeks!
Absolutely wonderful.
thank you so much for the tabs!! beautiful playing
No worries. I'm quite sure the original is in DADF#AD with a slide, and I have intrusive thoughts of reprising it every stupid day. I'm tempted... but this version is fine. What do you think?
@@sam-lynch that's one of my favourite tunings so would be super cool if you got round to that!!
this is the kind of content we should never miss. Amazing work mate
very beautiful, but might i ask what kind of microphone you use to record?
Absolutely. I use a 'ZOOM H1n', an XY configured portable mic. It works well when I have it positioned correctly but awkward as heck. Thank you.
@@sam-lynch great, thanks for the info. Keep making videos, im a big fan
So beautiful...
Thank you, Astrid.
…Oh I hope you mean the dog? And you would be correct for the dog was also deaf and partially blind. I know this because the lady came back all flustered and panic stricken, asking if I had seen said dog (I can’t remember his name 😣), he had wandered off and could not respond to any calls or visual cues sufficiently. We didn’t have much luck so we exchanged numbers and went our ways thinking the worst but we got a call later from the local pub (who happened to be frying sausages for lunch), that he was there! So amazing his sense of smell got him home.
Was this for me? If it was, then my answer is yes, I meant the dog, absolute star. Sure, but no, I have two cats so they would be questioning me if I commented on dogs. Actually, what a nice happening, sausages finding lost dog in the wilderness and bringing two strangers together. I did mean the whole video, the melodies, strumming, your calmness and the hey.
@@astridprojections2220 of course, for you! You are too kind, to me and your cats
Lovely what tuning is this ?
C G C F C E
@@sam-lynch fantastic I’ll be learning this 🤝
Absolutely love this one Sam. Well done.
Thank you Bill
Has been so long since you last uploaded. That was awesome bro!❤
Hi mate, I hope you are doing well!
Glad to see you here again.
That's very kind of you to say, thank you. Pleased to be here.
nice strumming 😊 looks like beautiful day
Cheers. It was a memorable day.
Beautiful
Thank you VC.
This makes me think that Nick Drake was a guitar genius
really like the end of creation or the beginning of it or something completely not quite there
I want to learn this, what is the tuning please?
C#G#C#D#A#C
Let me know how it goes.
Very talented!!
Great job on this tough song!
Much appreciated.
Back again and once again you filled my window and surrounded me with your big hug wonder. Thank you for bringing such beauty to the world.
Thank you for taking the time to share this mesage with me. I feel all the better for it.
@@sam-lynch Oh man of sonic wonder you should wake to the every new day feeling better than better, man of the many lofty notes -- the feather that catches the windless winds so ever free of the bonds.
Coming back for more needing solace and rejuvenation, a sonic visit from Sam. I don't know how I missed this song, your colors turning and what is weightless and the sharing of your flight. Another masterpiece and your film making is a wonder too. Your river is so full of water!
You are always welcome here, Michael. I have fond memories of making this, although being frightfully unwell at the time. Sometimes beautiful memories can be forged from the most dire of circumstance. I do hope you are well.
@@sam-lynchThank you Sam troubadour extraordinaire! You and your masterpieces are what pure waters do with the sun!
Wow, what a performance! Very nice landscape. Wonderful playin'.
Sounds great, Sam! I just learned this piece but am finger picking each note individually. Do you happen to know if your technique is how Nick played it vs the individual finger picking? Again, great performance and backdrop 👍
That is a good question, Steve. I think Nick was picking most strings individually as you are, although he misses the 6th string 27 seconds into Introduction, as his thumb may have overshot its rightful position, indicative of playing two or more strings. The texture of the picking pattern must be from utilizing most fingers. In most photographs of Nick playing guitar he appears to be wrist bracing / anchoring on or around the bridge for accuracy.
@@sam-lynch thank you Sam for the most excellent and thorough response. I didn't know about some of those things but I did know about the missed/absent note at the beginning. Appreciate your reply!
I've noticed in your version that you strike the low C a lot more than in the original, and I like the sound of it, arguably more than the original. Where did you get the idea for it and how do you manage the timing on it?
Nick tended to attack the bass note more generously in his recordings outside of the studio, and float around with other arabesque notes/slides/hammer-ons. This one is a beautiful little recording he made with such ideas - ua-cam.com/video/HV42hEH6-ow/v-deo.html Adding the notes in will take practice, as the low C is utilized between the main refrain cluster, and this will feel unnatural.
This is wonderful, Sam!
What guitar strings are you using here Sam?
Thank you kindly. It’s nice to hear from you! How is the research going?

Truly beautiful brother. May I ask how did come to learn Nicks songs?
Thank you. In the summer of 2004, I rented a room in a cottage and worked nearby doing bicycle repairs. By then I was obsessed with Nick Drake and everyday I would spend around four hours working out several of his songs, either holed up in the cottage or at work between jobs. This was made easier by Chris Healy having already scored most of Nick’s work, with those left unscored still with hints towards tunings and possible chord shapes. He published his workings online, which since then has become a masterwork. You can see his workings here nickdraketabs.co.uk I also came to know some alternative ideas at The Annual Nick Drake Gathering, by observing and speaking with musicians, which is where I met Chris Healy funnily enough. In 2018 I revisited Nick Drake’s work in a similarly obsessive manor when I became seriously unwell. I thought by working on his songs again would make me feel better.
chillingly beautiful
very good indeed
Awesome tribute to Nick Drake!
Not live
great tune!!!
Wow am I ever finding here and now this New Year's day that I'm really missing out at not seeking this guys sonic gifts of what seems the supernatural realms of a soul finding flight, a troubadour in control of his medium and the door he opens to the soulful mindedness the free mindedness he channels me though with his extraordinary talent! Happy New Year to you oh flight-taker to the greater realms rising above a tumultuous world reminding us of its also great beauty! It's been too long and must return for such nourishment!
Welcome back good sir, and happy new year to you!
Love this - the music, the scene, everything.
Are you classically trained?
No, but I feel like it could have happened if things were different. I mean, between the age of 8-10 years old, I begged my parents for a violin. My family struggled for money throughout, so a Violin never entered my life, and therefore with it, no classical tutorage.
well, it's clearly not a sine qua non for great music like this@@sam-lynch
what is the tuning? I might try and work some of out@@sam-lynch
it was really well-played, you are very talented
Stunning phrasing and picking. Do you have tabs/chord diagrams of this and other pieces that I could purchase to support your artistry?
amazing music and film
very good indeed!
Thank you kindly.
great!
Than you so much Jamie
amazing
It’s like discovering an unheard sketch left behind by Nick Drake - absolutely beautiful.
OUTSTANDING
nice cover man, this song deserves so much more recognition
Thanks. I asked my friend why he didn't like 'Admiral Fell Promises'. He answered "too much nylon". Have you heard Baden Powell?
@@sam-lynch the nylon string tone is absolutely insane!! i never heard baden powell, i’ll take a look ;)
