Every cover you've done by Nick Drake is my most favourite cover of him. Your voice is so much like his, but has more a youthful spring to it than he did - suppose it was his depression. Either way, don't go a week without listening to these, hats off to ya.
It’s not about ‘taking his place’, it’s about paying homage and keeping the music alive by playing it live. The original material can never be bettered but great covers by fans only serve to compliment the work and I’m confident that ND would’ve approved ..
@@rightturnonly6621 I probably tuned it down half a step to make it more bearable for me to sing. Not sure anymore. But the above tunings are the originals, minus the capo. I would always start there and adjust to your liking.
@@tobiaswildenmusic I tune CGCFCE plus second fret capo but it sounds diferent like Yours tune or Nick Drakes tune, it sounds lower in tone, don´t understand why.
@@rightturnonly6621 That's strange. If you tuned everything correctly, I guess the best bet is to just adjust the capo. I wouldn't go higher than the E, because the string might snap.
That is nice to read, and kind of you to say. I'm really glad you enjoyed my renditions! Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to listen. I appreciate it.
The key thing with your interpretations is that you understand the actual core of the songs, not just the music. It shows! All the best and good luck with future songwriting!
That guitar sounds so beautiful and your playing is so effortless. Truly bringing how big and beautiful the acoustic guitar use to sound during the 60's and 70's.
I have listened to numerous interpretations of Nicks songs and you are still the most on point and compelling. So in keeping with spirit and essence of the way the songs were communicated by Nick drake himself.
I spend a lot of my time trying to learn ND on guitar, and videos like yours (and tab) are so helpful. Also your guitar versions are the best and most natural sounding on youtube - and I have checked them ALL! Thanks and well done. Liam
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I heard the first few strums and lyrics! You sound just like him! Great cover, bruddah! The guitar is SPOT on
Great job Tobias. I know this has been up for awhile but I just recently got obsessed with Nick Drake. I would love to see you do some tutorials on his music. Thx
Marvelous, deft playing. You have a wonderful soft voice like nick's and your clearly feel the song as you play. I have to do without the capo if I am to manage the vocal. Good to see his music living on in the young.
For so many years, unfortunately, we know that Nick Drake is no longer with us, flying to heaven to play with angels !! Listening to Tobias, his skill, his perfect interpretation of Nick's songs is a great happiness and emotion. Great job Tobias!
Nick is such a difficult artist to cover because much of the beauty of his songs are conveyed in his uniquely soft voice & phrasing. This is beautiful, nailed it!
you were the only one who covered this then. and whilst others covered nick drake, yours has his poignant feel. i have listened to your piano compositions too. they are good. reminds me as well if my own compositions when i was younger. you also photograph very well. and now you have an album released in Japan. do set up an IG account. fans have been tagging you. yeah. ive been following you and listening to your music even before you made your name an english one. such an old soul for such a young age. and too much emotion and reflection too. :)
@themachinist1000 Thanks! I'm really glad you think so. I appreciate your positive comments. I doubt it though ;-) Not only for the lack of original material. But I often quietly consider it. Maybe i can get my head around the whole idea in some time.
This is why I love music. I can feel the emotion in this. I can feel the feelings of someone else. I think I can understand what someone has to say. It's totally beautiful.
Hey Tobias! I heard this cover a lot and a lot times! Now, I'm hooked on your Kaki King 2 o'clock cover!!! Astonish! I would like to hear you playing and sing Nick Drake's river man. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed both. I have an old cover of River Man unlisted actually. If you want, you can check it out ua-cam.com/video/wclx2HKL_Fk/v-deo.html
Love nick drake , Was quite amazed how brilliant you are with that guitar....a real talent....maybe would be nice to listen to some of your music....will defiantly keel listening....
I use a Zoom H2 recorder and run it through Garageband on a Macbook. For this cover I edited only treble and volume. For the videos I process the recordings as mp3.
Tobias Wilden , hi amazing stuff. I’m taking you mean you reduced the treble cause it has such a warm tone. Fancy sharing the eq ‘values’ (Freq’s, shelf or bell cut etc). Cheers! Keep up the good work!
You are so rad man. I love your voice and you are perfect for Nick Drake songs. Wow. I came across you by your Chris and Thomas video, and I am so happy I found you! Just great man.
I've watched this cover and cello song.... Absolutely awesome, really really the two best covers I have ever heard! I've sub'd to watch all ure stuff! Thanks
Most people that cover Nick's song can neither play, nor sing in a soft melancholy way like he did. And you can do both. That is a blessing. This is about the closest you can go when you haven't seen him play live..Who did anyway?
Just bought tickets for your ode to nick drake tour...its awesome you employ the homeless to sell tickets for you...getting the chance to see you pick would restore all the faith in humanity that's been stripped away by the two sublime cover bands that exist in every bar in every town

When you sing "Pink Pink Pink Pink Moon" I feel like it's Nick Drake who's singing. Your covers are really great !
For Pink Moon it's CGCFCE, for Place To Be CGCFGE, with the C tuned down.
I'm glad you think so. Thanks. I appreciate that you stopped by to listen.
sorry_ but on the video is not CGCFCE tune

Nick's songs are alive and well here.
Agree!

I always find myself coming back to your Nick Drake covers after quite some time. I'll never stop being impressed all over. You're wonderful.
sammmiii13 Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you still enjoy them.

The only cover artist I've seen who truly captures the mood and tranquility of nick drakes musical talents. Immaculate performance
Years go by but there is always a moment when I come back to your videos. Thanks for sharing your talent, never stop. Take care. Jérémy
I appreciate the positive comments. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my renditions of Nicks work.
Thank you for listening and the kind words! I appreciate it.
It's an early 90s Washburn D12S. (solid spruce top, mahagony back and sides). I'm really glad you like the tone! Thanks for listening.
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate the kind words! Glad you like my renditions.
That is really kind of you to say. Thank you for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed my renditions.
Gosh, this is so beautiful. The only cover I've heard that really captures Nick to me. Thanks for sharing your gift with us!
This is the only cover I've seen/heard of this that doesn't lose the song. You forget it's a cover, it's got soul
Thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad you enjoyed my cover!
I appreciate the positive comment. Thank you for listening!
Nick Drake is still alive. These are not only covers. Thank you so much.
Beautiful cover, just heard it for the first time. Thank you for sharing with the whole world
@RevelingInReverie
Thank you for stopping by :) I'm glad you think so!
Very nice cover. Seriously, can't stop replaying it. Pink Moon is one of my favorite songs and your interpretation of it is very addictive.
Reminds me so much of him. So similar and yet so different. I love it. His music lives on in your covers.
Really great playing. One of my favourite Nick Drake's songs is Pink Moon. Thank You.

Again. Brilliant cover. I know all these songs very well. Been a big part of my life. Well played mate 👍
Nick is such a difficult artist to cover because much of the beauty of his songs are conveyed in his uniquely soft voice & phrasing. This is beautiful, nailed it!
Just learned to play this amazingly humble and melodic song! However the way you sing and play it really does do Nick Drake justice! You are amazing!
Found you trying learn Pink Moon. Awesome talent my man. Nick would be so proud. Thanks!
Thank you for listening. I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can find most of the tunings on nickdraketabs com

Nick reborn... Thank you for all the Nick Drake covers Tobias...

Just excellent; loving the beautiful sound of Nick Drake recreated with such skill and passion - thanks so much, you are very talented 👍

Thank you :) That is kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated
Stunning cover of a magical song.
You do Nick credit...you really do...I'm so glad someone is doing serious covers-respecting the original music
You made me cry. I love Nick Drake and you are very talented. Good luck in your future in music.
I just discovered you and I am already deeply pleased to be able to listen to you.
That's a nice voice...and falls well with Nick's range in actual voice..dope
You have so much talent, how is your video not been watched millions of times!
Good Job. Captured both music and feeling of it!
Little late to the game here but this is an amazing cover. Absolutely stunning. Fantastic guitar and lovely lovely vocals.
Good job making the melodies your own vocally. Guitar perfection. Love the bonus track place to be. Nice idea.
Love your Nick Drake covers. I don't know how people can be disliking them.
came back again to listen....Your voice is so unpretentious and touching in this song.
You're playing is just incredible. Your voice has a wonderful tone for this type of music. Also I love the look of the video. Great work.
Been thinking about Nick a lot lately and stumbled upon this. Wow, so beautiful. Thank you for this.
Really outstanding job on these and the others ~ You seriously GET Nick!
Just bought tickets for your ode to nick drake tour...its awesome you employ the homeless to sell tickets for you...getting the chance to see you pick would restore all the faith in humanity that's been stripped away by the two sublime cover bands that exist in every bar in every town
MrTradisrad where is this? This performance is in England?
You should audition for a show or something the world needs to hear this...props to you!
I've never heard a cover that improves on the original,but no one could,but lord your good
Kudos. Excellent rendition. Nick would be proud.
You have done a fabulous job! Great singing and playing..
Very nice....good strum/pick technique there!
Came back again for this wonderful rendition you did of PM; Tobias, Nick's music is shining through YOU! Keep going, we all love what you are doing :)
