    I can't give much advice on the technique or how to play it. But I think you can find a tab on nickdraketabs. com if you need one. The chords should be there. As you can see, I used a capo on the fifth fret. The guitar was in Standard tuning.

    Thank you for listening! I'm not sure what you mean by sensibility. I use a full recording level and medium mic gain on the Zoom itself. Everything else handles my onboard sound, since I record through Garageband on a Macbook. There I make the adjustments according to the instrumental part alone.
    I'm not Nick by the way, I'm just paying tribute to one of his songs here.

    These music reminds me always on my first and second love there. I took the first to a graveyard to play a song for me. The second played for me too, but I burried him. Hope felt into a mirror.

    Nick Drake was just a young man when he wrote this song he had a dream of making music and being a poet. He was very poor and he rented a warehouse space in London there was no heat and he would sit and practice making his music all day long.. sadly he never achieved much success before he died.

I know I must practice but there must be some other help I can get to learn to play better.. I wonder how Nick did it?

    It depends. Regarding Nicks songs, back then it took me usually up to a week. He has such a wide variety of compositions and approaches. Now, I can't really assess the difficulty anymore. It's definitely overwhelming at first, but with time it became clear. I just kept at it. There comes a certain point when you recognize the individual patterns.
