Fly - Nick Drake (Cover)

[@jmorra]

Tears..the good kind. For all the great writers of songs who were not recognized and loved.

[@rhugh02]

I've fallen so far for the people you are. Great Job sir. Nick RIP.

[@paolosuti-dray]

A real gem!

[@peterburke7795]

Thank you for this amazing performance. You bring the hope of Nick alive.

[@johnnyd8274]

WOW! Ian, I have never heard Fly done better. This is now my favorite version.

[@thisproagestyle]

This is the best cover of Fly Ive heard!

[@antoniomarine1567]

Excellent!!! Bravo!!

[@lyrebirdhalifax]

Can't stop watching this cover. Incredible job!

[@mwj5368]

This should have a million hits! So beautiful! You make it look so easy and it isn't! I also like how you do the verses quasi-singing, kind of like talking but like singing, which also I imagine is very difficult but you do it so well! You should play at the Nick Drake festivals, you and Sam Lynch and some of the profound talent out there!

[@3ggshe11s]

"Bryter Layter" was released on the day I was born, and I'm in love with this song. Thank you for such a wonderfully done cover.

[@imbrijago]

Great version, really well done indeed!

[@willvaughan3936]

This is wonderful, Ian. You certainly have a lovely voice.

[@InsideUCLA71]

[@eionpatricks5110]

this is positively stunning, thank you so much for this gift

[@LiamWillisFilmmaker]

You do the best Nick Drake covers on KZbin! Brilliant guitar playing and lovely vocals too- That "Please!" was uncanny!

[@ianhowell1666]

Thanks! I'm honestly not trying to sing like Nick, just trying to play the song in the same spirit.

[@LiamWillisFilmmaker]

@@ianhowell1666 Well that most definitely worked!

[@kevinkenny6975]

​@@ianhowell1666 You should play at the nick drake gathering one year

[@TheTMKF]

Excellent cover.

[@andyshriner5443]

Amazing cover as always!

[@awesomeakathisia5215]

dizzy it makes me, what a song to play,, you sound great with guitar and have the nuances of the original or better it seems to me, I'm not an expert. Great guitar playing.

[@ianhowell1666]

+Acoustic Akathisia Thank you!

[@evancodsworth2]

Outstanding

[@HenryKrinkle]

Beautiful! Is this in standard tuning w/ capo at 4th fret?

[@ianhowell1666]

Thanks! It's in BEBEBE

[@HenryKrinkle]

@@ianhowell1666 Interesting... I'll give it a try. Thanks

[@mwj5368]

Hi Ian! I keep coming back here this is so great! It seems your guitar, like mine, doesn't plug in. Your recording too is fantastic. I use Studio Projects B3 large diaphragm condenser mics through my Zoom Q8 camera for my KZbin videos but no way does the sound quality (also no way do I play near to your talent ha!) come out as rich and clear as yours. What kind of equipment do you use?

[@ianhowell1666]

It's an old Zoom H2. I add a little reverb, that's about it

[@mwj5368]

@@ianhowell1666 Your talent can make anything sound fantastic!

[@lavallee1963]

Good job.

[@minpil-u7v]

can i ask you how you managed to learn all these Drake's song? all by ear??

[@ianhowell1666]

Mostly just following the tabs and practicing. Listening to the recordings is important too though

[@tonyhowellcouk]

Great stuff Ian, will you play guitar on one of my tracks?!

[@andreacosta74]

Little Peter Hammill-like voice should be perfect!

[@keithwigley1256]

Great cover ..well played Ian ...if you have time see my new song nighttime comes Keith Wigley ...Ruby tuesday Cover And Others To See

[@vertyisprobablydead]

I don't know whether to pick up my guitar or burn it because you have to be one of the best players/writers alive. You make Tommy Emmanuel look like a hack.

[@ianhowell1666]

Pick your guitar up! The main riff of this song is not hard to play but the changing picking patterns at the end can throw you off. Just practice hard and it will come.

[@meirm]

Excellent!
