How to play Road by Nick Drake

[@randallthrockmorton]

This teaching style is perfect, it keeps you listening to the music! Finally a good use for miming in the world.

[@isaiahetienne4126]

I'm inspired to learn all of Pink Moon because of you. Thank you!

[@AlonMusic]

Such a fantastic album. I'm hoping to also learn it all one day.

[@simonrangeley]

Loving these videos. You make them so easy to follow. Many thanks from someone who has been an admirer of Nick's music for 40 years or more. Great to be able to start playing them. Difficult to be able to sing them at the same time but that's why Nick was such a talent. Best wishes.

[@AlonMusic]

It is difficult indeed. I find this one is a bit easier to sing along with because the vocal melody follows the guitar line, but it's still a challenge. I'm glad the videos have been helpful! I'll keep making more in the future.

Double posting so you know it's real... From the Morning done in this style of video would get you my undying gratitude. Love your teaching style. Many thanks!

[@AlonMusic]

From the Morning is one of my favorites from Pink Moon. I will put a lesson up in a few days. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@colindoyle9594]

@@AlonMusic my appreciation knows no bounds. Might be my favorite from the album!

Ohhhhh this is amazing, thank you!!

Thank you so much.. muchas gracias!

This song is crazy hard to play! Can't imagine singing while picking this at the same time.

[@AlonMusic]

I know right? It sounds so straightforward when you first hear it, but then when you actually start picking apart the guitar part, oh boy...

[@hendude127]

@@AlonMusicits definitely hard, but nothing has been as hard to perfect as Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac. I got the weird picking down, but the barre chords and weird chord shapes make it so hard to play every note well, especially on an acoustic.

[@Ravinius_]

I absolutely love this song and dream of being able to play it but I'm still basically a beginner.. Anyone have any suggestions for finger picking songs that would prep the fingers so to speak?

[@AlonMusic]

I would recommend any song where the thumb just plays constant eighth notes and bounces between 2 strings. Dust In The Wind and Dear Prudence are good songs to get started with this.

[@vrod2144]

My hands seem to be too small for Drake guitar covers but will try to figure it out on piano 😬

[@AlonMusic]

Yeah, this one in particular has quite a big pinky stretch. I can definitely see this working on piano

[@appropriateinput]

Woah! Thanks! 🎸

[@AlonMusic]

No problem! There will be more Nick Drake tutorials coming soon

[@soyanonimojaja]

Nice

[@kolnidur_]

Ok it's hard but I thought it was harder 😅 can you make a tutorial for Fly (the acoustic version) by Nick Drake?

[@AlonMusic]

Oh, I love that one! Sure, I'll make a tutorial in the next week or so.

Thank you for the great lesson, very clear and easy to follow! Would be very grateful if you did a lesson for 'three hours' by Nick also if you ever get the chance!!

[@AlonMusic]

My pleasure! I love Three Hours. I will add it to my list.
