    Thanks for listening. I'm really glad you like my cover!
    I had it up here several times in the past, but some details of my attempts always began to bother me.
    So I often deleted them a few weeks/months after uploading them.
    I'm not sure when I'll try again but If I get a proper take someday I'll keep in mind to share it.

    Thank you for listening and taking the time to write a comment. I'm really glad you like my try.
    I still used CGCFCE but adjusted it so it would fit my voice better. It is probably just tuned a few steps down.
    I'm not sure if I get around to do something like a tutorial at all. I know there are quite a few who requested it but I'm generally not a great "teacher". Especially for the theory since I learned it mostly by ear and simply base it on intuition. I hope you don't mind.

    Hazy Jane 1 - was the first song I ever heard by Nick Drake ( when he was still alive ) - it was on a British sampler album titled ' Bumpers' ...this song never left my system and just kind of cast a spell on me -- never tired of the melancholy aspects and beautiful picking patterns Nick used .
    Your version is the best cover of it I have ever heard - the picking and vocal are pristine.
    ps - I love the little flourish on the end !

    I first came across Nick Drake in the early 70s when I heard Hazy Jane on an Island Records sampler called "Bumpers". I was immediately transfixed by that opening guitar riff and those dusky vocals of his. I tried to work it out, not knowing that it was played in a strange D tuning. His songs have always been special to me since then. I never did work out that song on guitar but you have. Hats off to ya!

    Bravo! A great cover of a great song!! I first came across Nick Drake in the mid 70s when I heard this song on a sampler record of artists signed to Island records which was entitled "Bumpers". I was mesmerised by that opening riff and tried and tried to pplay it. I knew it was in some kind of dropped D tuning but didn't know about the tuning of the higher strings. Anyway that was the start of a life long appreciation of Nick Drake's music. Well done on such a good rendition - vocals too!!

    I'm sure there are other ways and tunings to play it. None that I personally know of though. I'm sorry.
    Another tuning I used for many of Nicks songs would be BEBEBE. I think it's noted common among the sources.
    Nonetheless, I found that particularly with this progression, there is a very close rendition possible. No matter how simple it may be. This approach was the most reasonable for me, and it simply felt and sounded right.

    Will it mean much to you
    If I treat you right.
    Do you like what you're doing,
    Would you do it some more
    Or will you stop once and wonder
    What you're doing it for.
    Hey slow Jane, make sense
    Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.
    Do you feel like a remnant
    Of something that's past
    Do you find things are moving
    Just a little too fast.
    Do you hope to find new ways
    Of quenching your thirst,
    Do you hope to find new ways
    Of doing better than your worst.
    Hey slow Jane, let me prove
    Slow, slow Jane, we're on the move.
    Do it for you,
    Sure that you would do the same for me one day.
    So try to be true,
    Even if it's only in your hazey way.
    Can you tell if you're moving
    With no mirror to see,
    If you're just riding a new man
    Looks a little like me.
    Is it all so confusing,
    Is it hard to believe
    When the winter is coming
    Can you sign up and leave.
    Hey slow Jane, live your lie
    Slow, slow jane, fly on by.

    Magnificent work, you have a great vocal delivery not to mention the guitarplaying.
    Which tuning do you use? open C tuning seems to be prefered in the other videos with the capo on the 2nd/3rd Fret? But yours sounds brighter and closer to the demo version Nick Drake recorded. I see you have the capo on the first fret, so i reckon you use another tuning. Anyway you should really make some tutorials for these songs.

    I was watching another one of these tutorial videos and the guy used CGCFCE for the tuning. That's the same but is there another one that is standard for most Nick Drake songs with a Capo? I can play Pink Moon and Place to Be with this tuning but it seems like there might be one that is better? The way the playing works seems too simple as crazy as that sounds.

      It really comes down to time and practice and you have to try until the coordination between the hands and your voice works. At some point it should just fall into place.
      Sorry for not providing a more solid method, but that was my approach and experience.

    • @tobiaswildenmusic
      @tobiaswildenmusic  10 років тому

      Hi Kevin,
      In this video, I tuned slightly below the proper tuning and placed the capo on the first fret because that way it was easier for me to sing the song.
      Originally, the tuning is CGCFCE with the capo on the second fret. Everything except the high E is tuned down.
      If you want to quickly get it spot on, you can use the online tuner on www.howtotuneaguitar.org where you can fully customize the string setup.

    Ahhh what a wonder... ! So well done. I was looking for some tabs and I found one pretty good but still far from how you play it... Did you write the tab listening Nick ?
    Thanks for this moment.

      Thanks! I didn't write anything down for my recordings, sorry. But I can recommend looking through the tabs on nickdraketabs.co.uk . They're the most accurate I know.
