Dermot: Thanks so much Dermot! Yes it is great to pick up stuff and just play!
Still I really worked hard on this one....can't say that it's hard to play (although the pinky was totally new to me too), it's quite repetitive, untíl you start singing, haha :laugh: ! This song absolutely shows that you need to hard wire the playing. You should be able to play it and have a conversation. So after working out what to play, play from the sheets, hum along. Then play by heart, then hum along. Then start singing one verse and so on. The process was actually quite fascinating, but it improved every day and now I'm like 'now whý was that so hard'???? Hahaha :laugh: ! Even when I saw Neil do the play through I couldn't really imagine that it would be so hard (I of course believed him), until I tried myself.......gosh :S ....anyway, like I said, I really loved the challenge, which was a new one to me. Thanks Dermot, very glad you've enjoyed it!
Bear: Gosh Bear, what a generous and very kind comment, absolutely appreciate it!!! Smiling, smiling and more smiling
!!!! Thanks so much!! :cheer:
Daryl: WOW!! I thought that was really a major compliment.....
....Indeed NOT easy to play and sing. Also glad you liked the guitarchoice, since I really doubted between several guitars and eventually went for this one. Thanks a whole bunch Daryl, means a lot!
Bob: Thanks so much Bob! Well I'm of course really glad you think so, it of course feels great to beat a challenge! :woohoo: Thanks again!
Michele: What a sweet woman you are!!!
:silly:
Craig: Hi Craig, I wasn't familiar with Nick's stuff as well, until firstly MattM introduced me to 'Pink Moon', then Dean with 'Place to Be' and now this one by Neil (he put up the lesson a week ago), and for whatever reason, I really really like his songs. They're all kinda dark, emotional and intense (I'm a sucker for that!
), love the subtleties in his guitarplaying too, so they're great to play. And yeah, trust me, I was challenged in a way which I hadn't experienced before. At least I can't remember....singing and playing has always been natural to me, but in thís one, haha! :laugh: Gosh...... :S ! Anyway, I'm glad that it doesn't show
! Thanks so much Craig, really appreciate your support!
Bart: Aaaah you're a sweet man Bart!! I'm of course very pleased to hear you think so! :cheer: And yeah, this thread could use another Nick Drake upload, although I also posted it in the review-channel as well (want to show my teacher what I've accomplished of course
). Thanks so much for dropping by and your kind comment!
Thanks all!!!
