Nice to hear a cover of one of the late JM songs. A much missed artist.
What a beautiful rendition, I adore John Martyn x
Very nice mate
you are plucking at my heart strings, it's so good. thank you.
Absolutely stunning rendition! Keep it up 👌🏻 a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹 btw: what a lovely guitar and great tone 🙌🏻
Wow, an excellent performance.
John would be truly proud of you mate!
Freaking great 👍👍👍💯
I like that you put your own twist on it. Great job!
Great song, haven't heard it for 20 years and wanted to hear as I'm going home to Scotland next month, first time for 7 years.
It’s a bloomin great song! Enjoy your trip to Scotland x
Because of you and a few others I finally took a listen to Nick Drake's stuff and I've since listened to the Pink Moon album easily over 30 times in the last couple of weeks. Either way keep up the music original and otherwise, also it's kind of uncanny how similar your style is to Nick's at least in a few songs.
I'm glad you're enjoying Nicks work, its sublime! x
Absolutely lovely playing and what a smooth voice. I happened upon your videos, seeing your name mentioned in a comment. I’m thankful for CZcams allowing me to listen to your playing and singing from across the ocean 🌊
Thank you for your lovely comment x
absolutely love your work! Thanks for sharing
Thank you x
Lovely mate,,well played
Beautiful cover
Love your singing accent, great rendition ❤
Really well played & sung, loved it.
Thanks Nik, all the best x
Love this cover! Keep up the good work Chris!
Thanks Gee x
Amazing!!! Beautiful job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your great. Just found you the other day you manage to nail the drake/martyn/pentangle stuff but also make it your own. I wish you all the best in your music. Keep representing this beautiful stuff.
Thanks for your comment! That’s the stuff I find my self gravitating towards naturally, you just can’t beat it!
All the best Chris
Just found your channel and listened to your album! Really loved it! From Nick Drake to John Martyn your influences are clear but still you have your own style!
Thanks Jonathan. I’m glad you enjoyed the album. They both certainly are big I influences on me x
mate honestly in love with this
Thanking you x
Great rendition, well done.
The hill in Over the Hill refers to West Hill in Hastings where John lived when he wrote this song.
Smashed it x
Lovely as usual would love to see some sheep and lambs standing listening to you. Wonderful.
Hehe in a few videos they have been on the other side of the camera! Maybe I'm scaring them away x
love your music
Thanks Duncan! Thanks for buying a CD too, I'll send that out tomorrow 1st class. Hope you enjoy the weekend x
Wow, beautifull cover,,thanks !
Cheers Remo, I hope you are well x
Brilliant mate, beautiful rendition, bravo 👏🏻
Would love to know the tuning and chords your using. … 🙏🏻
briliant mate x
Thanks xx
You have a very fine vocal tone in this... excellent cover
Lovely. Come and ply it at the grove folk club tonight if you are not still over on that hill. ❤
I will sometime soon Heather! x
There don't seem to be any good tabs out there for this, so for anyone trying to figure it out, this version at least is in Open D.
That’s true it is in open D, I just made it up, not quite true to what John does but it feels nice to me x
@@ChrisBrainMusic your guitar work and new arrangements over this kind of songs are glorious, simply wonderful!
This is the best cover I’ve found so far
Nobody else’s guitar work is worthy
They play this terrible, watered down version which thinks the entire song is the vocals
Very well done!
Probably the best cover I've heard of OTH. Great stuff.
Wow, thank you!
@@ChrisBrainMusic I've kinda been obsessed with this song for a few years now. I searched the internet for a video of John Martyn playing it live but no luck. There are lots of covers, some bad some good but none that really sound like J M. except you. I like you even got the mando part in there too. Also I like the little blues lic you play at the end of the chorus. Your voice is very cool to and fits very nicely for this song. Well done . Are you playing in DADGAD?
Fabulous cover Chris, great stuff as always. Here’s looking forward to the next album ( I’m crossing my fingers for a vinyl release)
Thanks for the love Steve! There certainly will be a vinyl,! It's all in the works at the mo x
@@ChrisBrainMusic fantastic!!
Excelente!
Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Thank you and well wishes x
J'aime vraiment. Bravo 👏
Thanking you x
beautiful stuff my man 🤎
Thanks James x
Absolutely top notch, mate! Open G? ❤️
Super ! One of the two best covers of Over The Hill with the cover of Siobhan Wilson '
Oo I’ll have to check that out! Thanks for the comment x
😊lovely
love this song and your interpretation. think you should do an album of covers. :)
Ha that would be a tough choice to only record 10 covers! X
Niiice 👍
Awesome! Love the chilled vibe and slight melodic variations in there - and beautifully sung! What tuning are you using there?
Thanks Steve! I try my best. It's in Open D, it's doing all the work for me really ha. All the best x
John Martyn Cover, excellent rendition, youtube shows me you've done Nick Drake too, so I definitely have to check your channel out :-)
I certainly have, hope you enjoyed them x
Great stuff. What is the tuning? Thank you.
Decent mate I'm well impressed
WELL DONE
Thanks! X
really hard somg to cover because the original is so goof but you did it justice
I like that song of wild dafty Martyn and hard to believe it took him only 38 years to go from writing it to being skint, evicted and into an early grave through years of booze and drug which makes we wonder if he was quite possibly a Moth in an earlier life. Is that standard tuning pal ?. Might learn it myself for some fowkie Open Mic thingymajig. Also when I was living around High Wycombe & Reading you would see a lot of Kites that are beautiful to watch and not a bird you see a lot in Scottyland. Also cudos for making the effort to go sit in a field and record as its easy to feel a bit daft doing so when it would have been easier to just record this in the hoose. You take care Jimmy
Excellent 👌👏👏👏 Really enjoying your channel. Great covers and really accomplished original songs too. Look forward to absorbing the album. And I know you must have been asked this a thousand times.but what model is the guitar? It sounds fantastic. I've the recording king Ros 616 (couldn't afford a martin)
Heya! Thanks for the kind comment! The guitar is a Martin replica, cheap and cheerfull! Sigma 000r-28vs x
A very fine version…… 👍
Thank you x
Hard to beat the original but that's as close as you get love it the guitar playing outstanding
Thanks so much x
@@ChrisBrainMusic czcams.com/video/gsgrd4W_MC4/video.htmlsi=Fj-0fcBBLJ0O59Yx
I wonder if you have anything to say about my version of such a great song
Hello. I love this cover. Very well done. Would love to learn the tuning you used for this?
It is Open D tuning, so DADF#AD x
Hi. Thanks for the songs/covers etc. Really coforting voice and playing, scenery. And you look like my friend Bazz.. like a lot. Its almost strange.. ()_*)_
Some very aggressive strumming in this one lad
Giving it me all x
Beaut
Cheers Georgey boi x
Very good. Can you tell me what tuning you used. Thanks
Hey Patrick! I used Open D tuning x
Would love to hear a cover of 'Poor Man's Son' by Kris Drever
Hey man, can you please tell me whats the tuning here? Sounds absolutely amazing
Open D x
@@ChrisBrainMusic thank you

Open D x

I wish! X
It’s magic song 🎶 … I’m musician too. I would be very happy to be friends with you ❤
I'm going away to leave you
I'm going to leave you in disgrace
Nothing in my favor, got the wind in my face
I'm going home
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Can't get enough of sweet cocaine, get enough of Mary Jane
Going back to where I come from, going rolling back home again
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Been worried about my babies, been worried about my wife
Just one place for a man to be when he's worried about his life
I'm going home
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
I'm going away to leave you
I'm going to leave you in disgrace
Got nothing in my favor, rain in my face
I'm going home
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
Over the hill
Hey, hey, hey, over the hill
You are highlighting all my mistakes 😂
No, i just read the lirik for singing with you hehehehe
pretty good mate. but needs to be a bit faster, a bit more on the edge, a bit more barcley huntish
Not for me, I like the pacing. No harm in doing it your own way
@@ChrisBrainMusic cracking version no doubt, but I'd sneak the tempo up a notch if I was jamming with you
