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
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 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.
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
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! ❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'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!
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
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!!
I listen to this version more than Nick Drake’s studio version because this has a more genuine feeling. He masterfully captures exactly what the song is about.
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.
I have always loved Nick Drake's work. His music has great depth on so many levels. You bring out the very essence of his music, thru your subtle voice & style! I just love this one and all of your Nick Drake covers! Great performance! Anne
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.
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
Awesome! And you make it look so easy. One of your BEST performances. You nailed every note! Outstanding - all stars my friend ************ cheers, julie
@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.
Unbelievable. I'm actually lost for words. What a great cover.
ditto here
Not very far from the original 👌

SOULJAH ROCKER

@@tobiaswildenmusic epic rendition man..excellent picking ,excellent voice
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
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.
You play just like nick drake. Its amazing how you play with such grace and precision.
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.
I have no musical ability but I love nick drake. Watching you play that brought me to tears, simply beautiful

Not everyone can play and sing "Drake" and it will do it justice like you did! Brilliant!
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.
A genuine troubadour. With a wonderful touch on the guitar.
Such beautiful music. I've never heard something this magical.

Just like to add how accurately you capture the essence of Nick. Your own compositions atr fine too.
Brilliant cover just like Nick is still here with us wonderful playing and singing!
Robert Bostock I'm really glad you enjoy my rendition. Thanks for listening!
I wish I had the finger picking dexterity to play Drake’s music… I’ll get there one day. Fantastic cover man
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 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
OMG, absolutely breathtaking
i've had a shit day today, watching you play that has just turned my day around, well done man, much respect from another huge nick drake fan
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!!!

Great cover ! Nick Drake would be proud
this guitar work is a flex. well done
Can't believe how good this is, defiantly the best cover I've ever heard of that song, as good as the original :))
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.
Superb! You captured the lugubrious and sensual feeling of Drake's guitar and voice.

What i really don't like about most of nick drake's covers on youtube is the voice. Yours is just spot on!
Man ist das gut !! Ich bin schon dazu übergegangen deine Cover von Nick Drake anzuhören bevor ich mir die Originale anhöre 😅 Hut ab !!
My favorite Nick Drake tune. That's brilliant.
Great stuff, man! You get great tone and you've got a great voice! Keep it up!!!
