[@SirGeorgeButtox]

Hi Sam, lovely cover of this beautiful piece of music. I have only just learnt this myself.

[@sam-lynch]

Thank you kindly for listening. I wish you well with your cover and hope you love playing it. Take care.

Back again! Hearing your music is like seeing the wind as it plays in your branches.

[@BobEstremera]

Mesmerizing and beautiful.

[@sam-lynch]

Thank you.

[@jean-gillesgauthier1176]

Great job. Thank you so much

[@mwj5368]

You should play at the Nick Drake Festival in England! Errors? No way in my experience on your musical journeys.

[@blaumausfrau]

I listen to one Nick Drake at a time as I find listening to more than one painful for me. He was too close to the human sou at least my soul. But I digress. This is REALLY SUPER and although I'm not familiar with Far Less I know its Nick's home but wow you are impebbable. Really You SHOULD go the Nick Drake festival

[@sam-lynch]

Thank you kindly Jeremy. Take your time with it and you will have it under your fingers perfectly I'm sure. No rush. Take care and I wish you all the best.

Hi Sam, Great rendition of this Nick Drake song.. Your guitar has an amazing tone and looks great - Just curious - What Make and Model is it? Thanks, Wez

[@sam-lynch]

Hi Wez and thank you, I appreciate your kind words. It is a Levin LS-18 (1962).

Nice cover, did you learn to play that by ear?

[@sam-lynch]

Thank you. Indeed, ‘Far Leys’ and ‘Hanging On A Star’ are the Nick Drake pieces I learnt by ear; all other Nick Drake covers I rely heavily on Chris Healy’s transcriptions, all of which you may find on his site; nickdraketabs.co.uk/

Whats the guitar tune?

far leys by Nick Drake

[@joandelarosa6630]

@@touchingthecloth oh, sorry. I meant what was the tuning, I wanna make sure i can play that with the DADGDF#

[@nishlraai]

@@joandelarosa6630 DAGDAD I beleive, with capo in 4th.

[@sam-lynch]

This is in DADGAD. Nishal Rai is correct in that you would be closer to the original if you capo at 4th, however I have capo on 2nd for I prefer the tone this creates. Sorry your comments didn't show in my notifications when you originally posted them. Take care.
