in my opinion nick drake is one of the
most under-appreciated acoustic
guitarists to ever pick up the
instrument
whether you're a long-time nick drake
fan you've newly discovered his music or
you've never heard of him
today's show is for you because you're
going to discover a guitarist who's
quite simply amazing
and you're going to learn how to
replicate his sound
heytak family welcome to episode 173 of
the acoustic tuesday show
this show is designed to bring fun focus
and progress to your guitar journey
through my weekly guitar geek lists
plus success stories from your fellow
guitar geeks this week you're going to
be learning about tac family member
brandon k
who after reflecting on his guitar
journey so far realized how much
progress he's actually made
plus it got him super excited about his
guitar journey's future
you're going to learn about brandon here
in just a moment plus you're going to
get some acoustic guitar news you can
use
including an artist you need to send
some get well wishes to
another artist who uses guitars as her
canvas
a cover of crazy train which is
undeniably
hilarious plus a new video series that i
just
i just discovered and want to share with
you but first and foremost let's dig
into how
you can replicate nick drake's tone on
your guitar there's only five steps
so let's dig in we're about to go on a
quest to discover nick drake's tone
i've divvied this up into five steps to
help this process be a little bit more
digestible for you
and before we dig in i want to mention
two things i learned a lot about nick
drake in researching this episode and
every video that i learned from i've
linked to in the description below
the one standout video that i'll mention
is the vinyl rewind documentary
it's a 20-minute documentary that gives
you everything you need to know about
nick drake
the second thing i want to mention is
this i think the trailblazer of this
topic
is josh turner josh turner some years
ago released a video about nick drake's
tone
and i learned a ton from that video so
i've linked to that in the description
as well i'll be mentioning that video
quite a few times throughout today
but we'll go beyond it as well looking
at some compositional elements and
things like that
so with all that being said let's dive
into the steps
step number one to sound like nick drake
is gear you have to have the right
equipment to emulate his tone
now i'm not saying drop everything and
go out guitar shopping right now
although if you want to do that i
certainly won't be the one stopping you
but there's two elements in this
category i want to discuss number one is
strings and number two
is guitar i'm going to do them in that
category because strings are the least
expensive thing
on the list nick used extremely dead
strings and you can hear that on the
recording pink moon and i'm talking
about the whole album
the strings lack clarity they lack shine
they lack brilliance
they're thuddy they're funky and i mean
i mean this in a very good way
in fact in doing more research on josh
turner's video
he verified this as well i
doubt if you mean he may never have even
changed his strings during the whole
time that he was recording like they're
so dead
now that doesn't mean you have to go you
know rub your strings in the dirt
you can get nickel strings or something
like that that emulate a more
warm or vintagey sound those are the
strings
let's move on to the guitar now in
josh's video he thinks that nick used a
small body guitar
i personally am of the opinion after
listening to his recordings extensively
that at the very least
pink moon was recorded on a small body
guitar well then i see nick playing
a larger body guitar and i saw him in a
picture i didn't see him in person
so we've got a dreadnought over here
speculation of a small body guitar over
here what is it
well this is where you come in because
i've recorded the intro to the song
rode on two different guitars one of
them is a vintage martin
single 0-18 the other is a santa cruz
vintage southerner
so a small body and a large body guitar
so i want you to listen to both and in
the comments below
let me know what you think sounds more
nick drakish
[Music]
do
[Music]
do
step number two to achieving nick
drake's tone is technique
and there are two things i want to
discuss here number one is hand position
and number two is picking style let's
start with hand position
to get the sound that really brings out
the body of the guitar
with less definition nick is likely
picking over the sound hole
now i got this tip again from josh
turner and after trying it out myself i
can definitely say that
it adds to the body of the instrument or
rather the body of the tone and
after listening to pink moon again the
full album i believe this is dead on so
hand over the sound hole to bring out
the body of the guitar
the next thing is picking technique and
i do believe nick drake is using
fingernails you get this subtle amount
of attack on the front end of his notes
that indicate that there's some harder
surface being used and being that nick
played predominantly's fingerstyle
chances are he had his fingernails in
play now some of you might be thinking
there
might be sitting there thinking you know
i'd love to
you know go after nick's tone but i
don't have fingernails and quite
honestly i can't grow them
well there's a couple alternatives that
you can use to help you on your path
and one of them is is by the company pro
pic
they make finger picks called finger
tone finger picks
which allows you to get some of the meat
of your fingertip on the string
but also gives you a hard edged surface
so you can get that clarity and attack
the other option is another pit company
called alaska pix
and these truly do emulate a fingernail
meaning you can put them on and they
kind of wedge under your existing
fingernail to
simulate well a fingernail that's a
little bit longer
so a couple different options for those
of you looking to well go after nick's
tone
but aren't well endowed in the
fingernail growth department
is that a thing i don't know i've always
had fingernails so i feel like
i've been lucky in that regard step
number three on our journey to achieving
nick drake's tone is embracing alternate
tunings
quite honestly he used a ton of
different tunings so much so that early
in his career when he was performing
live
there was critiques on his performance
saying he took too long in between songs
and he never talked to the crowd
well that's because he was changing the
tuning on his guitar
i want to share a resource with you that
will not only give you all the tunings
that he used
but also the tabs to nearly every song
he wrote and recorded
but first we have to thank the
individual that's responsible for
for putting this resource together his
name is chris
heatley and he put together an amazing
website the url is
nickdraketabs.co.uk
when you go to this website you'll not
only see all the tunings you'll see tabs
for every
i was going to say every single song i
don't know if it's every single song but
there's a huge amount of songs there and
an incredible resource for anybody
trying to attack any of nick drake's
songs
in fact i've used that website a ton of
different times and i used it in
preparation for the show
because i wanted to learn the intro to
the song road and
well it served me pretty well great tabs
great resource
make sure to check it out step number
four in emulating nick drake's tone and
playing style
is composition the compositional
elements that nick drake used
are present in all of the albums that he
recorded five leaves left
brighter later and then lastly pink moon
i'm gonna target pink moon because to me
it's the most guitar heavy album meaning
it's quite simply nick and his guitar
there's no other production
really on that entire album that being
the case
some of the compositional elements that
you can include in your playing
are an incredibly thumb driven
composition
if you listen to pink moon i want you to
take note as
to as to how pronounced the bass notes
are and how active his
thumb is presuming that he used his
thumb for his bass notes and i'm pretty
sure that he did
the second thing i want you to notice in
terms of compositional elements
is how his voice often times
was a different rhythm than his guitar
work
which makes singing and playing these
songs a whole challenge in and of itself
but
so often when you listen to artists
their voice
mimics the rhythm of the guitar and
that's okay that's not good or bad
but i think one of the things that
separates nick from other musicians
is that he had this knack for treating
the vocal melody very different from the
rhythm guitar part
which i think is is so cool and again a
huge challenge if you try it on your own
another thing i want to mention is the
sparseness of his compositions
pink moon is quite sparse and again i'm
talking about the full album
not just the song but i don't say sparse
in that it's lacking
i think nick did a great job of
occupying a ton of sonic space with just
him his voice and a guitar a pretty
amazing feat if i do
say so myself and of course i was going
to throw in tunings here to the
compositional elements but as guitar
geeks
i thought that deserved its own category
okay we're on the final step step number
five but before i get there
i have some homework for you yes this is
the first time i've ever issued homework
during the acoustic tuesday show
and it contains two things number one
check out the vinyl rewind documentary
that i've linked to in the description
below
you're going to learn a ton about nick
drake and i thought it was captivating
all 20 minutes of it so cool great
pictures amazing footage
and just just a cool story
the second thing i want you to do is
listen to the album pink
moon and while you're doing so i want
you to
see if you agree with me on these points
or not and it's okay if you don't but
let me know in the comments below if i
missed anything and if i did
you'll be benefiting all the guitar
geeks that watch the show
okay on to step number five on our quest
to sound like nick drake
step number five is nick drake's x
factor
yes nobody really talks about this and i
think it deserves the spotlight
because nick drake did indeed have an x
factor
he was able to express himself with just
a guitar in his voice
in such a way that i would dare to
venture out on a limb and say
no other artist has in the way that he
did
let me explain i want to dig a little
bit deeper here now ultimately and if
you watch the vinyl rewind documentary
you'll learn that
ultimately external pressures led to
nick
being self-medicated and ultimately
ending his
life that being said
his albums that were released five
leaves left brighter later and pink moon
each was released to commercial failure
and during his active time as a musician
that can weigh on you in a big big bad
way
but he kept composing he kept creating
and i thought that's so amazing because
now we have this vast catalog of music
that we get to just simply relish in
because he kept
creating which begs the question
which actually i should say brings me to
a question i have for you
on your guitar journey as a creative
guitar player when you're creating
something there's this little voice that
sneaks up that says oh that's no good
that's not worth continuing to pursue
and i want to ask you this question what
if nick drake
gave into that voice after just five
leaves left his first album
well we wouldn't have two more albums
worth of amazing songs
and that's a pretty crazy example but i
want you to think of it
as apply to your own guitar journey what
if you're on the cusp of creating
something great
but you give in to that voice it'll
never see the light of day
and us guitar geeks we want to help each
other out and support each other in our
creative endeavor so please
try and silence that voice as much as
you can yes
step number five to sound like nick
drake is his x factor but i truly
believe that all of us guitar geeks have
an x factor
and it's unique each of us have our own
unique x factor so please on your quest
for nick drake's tone
yes go after it try and sound exactly
like him if that's
if that's your end goal but do embrace
your own x factor
i know that turned into maybe a little
bit more of a coaching session
than a true step in the right direction
but i think it actually is a step in the
right direction for your own guitar
journey
on that note i do have a question for
you two questions as a matter of fact
number one are you a long time nick
drake fan or did you just discover him
because of the show
let me know in the comments below and
bonus points if you can go ahead and
leave
your in the comments leave your favorite
nick drake song to help other guitar
geeks
discover a song that you might like i
want to introduce you to an inspiring
guitar geek
a guitar geek whose reflection allowed
him to recognize the progress he's
experienced but
also it allowed him to get excited about
his guitar journey's future
this is brandon k and he just celebrated
his second
tackiversary yes he's been a tony's
acoustic challenge member for two
straight years
and let's have a quick sneak peek into
his reflection right now
i can't say enough how much tack has
changed my life
it really is a wonderful ride i feel i'm
where i'm at in the journey because of
this site and all that tony and the
behind-the-scenes staff
offer along with all the wonderful
people i've met this still rings true
today
the environment and people i've met made
a huge impact on my life
when i started guitar well i was a total
beginner i had owned a guitar for a
while but it was basically just a
decoration
just sat on its stand and looked pretty
i had actually started to damage it by
not knowing about climate conditions and
it started to dry out
when i joined tac and started to put
forth some effort to learn to play
i was able to revive it and it now is as
it should be
my skill level was basically zero i
could finger two chords but could not
strum or transition at all
the focus and learning path did not
exist until tech
i was leery about joining a forum based
community as i have built a few myself
and know how they can run down the
negative path quickly but that is not
the case
here which was a very pleasant surprise
starting year two
it's hard to believe where i was and all
the thoughts of i will never get this
the play everyday motto is definitely
not a problem thank you all for that
i've become more confident with both
playing and singing my guitar skills
might not have increased all that much
but i feel i have a much more solid
foundation to build upon
my goal in 2020 was to learn five cover
songs
i have learned 15. i can play most of
them by memory
and those that i can't only take one or
two go throughs to refresh my memory
the virtual open mics played a big part
in this
at this point in my guitar journey i can
now zip around using four chords with no
effort
i have some basic finger picking skills
and can strum some cool rhythms
some other things i can now do include
hammer-ons change strings and general
guitar setup and maintenance
i challenge myself every string change
to try and tune the guitar without a
tuner and i'm getting closer
i can sing and play while i can't
technically sing but i can sing and play
i re i can recover a pic from the sound
hole i can keep track of a pick for up
to three days
i can remove the drum of my dryer to
stop the clicking noise and retrieve the
picks making the noise
i can walk into and out of my practice
area without tripping over a cable and
ripping my music stand down
and i have a good working knowledge of
the electronic side of recording and
performing
okay i made a few jokes about losing
picks but one thing i really need to
work on
is playing with a pick i've avoided it
to this point but i really need to get
that learned to be able to do some of
the things i would like to do
playing and singing is something i have
come to really enjoy the virtual open
mics have been a lot of fun and have
pushed me in new directions
i should also add that learning songs
within my chord bank come much faster
now
it's days versus months looking forward
to next year is really exciting
i've already knocked songwriting off the
list which is very rewarding and
something i truly enjoy
so much so that i have a few more in the
works now i'm still working on
increasing my chord library
so many things to learn but i really
concentrate on getting down what i know
and trying to really use different
techniques
you know a full package type of thing
i'm looking forward to live jams again
but until then i always look forward to
the virtual
alternative thanks again to all that
make this place tick
cheers to another great year i want to
thank brandon so much for sharing his
story and i think it really underscores
the power of reflection
it's so important to look back and see
how far you've traveled in your guitar
journey so far
as guitar geeks we're very guilty of
focusing on the next best thing
but taking that moment to pause and look
back and feel those awesome feelings of
how much you've accomplished
so far is pretty darn incredible i mean
in brandon's case
he was a total beginner he didn't even
know how to take care of his guitar
and now he's writing his own songs and
attending virtual open mics
pretty darn stellar and again huge
thanks to brandon and congratulations on
your two-year tackiversary
now you know what it's freezing cold in
bozeman and i want to go down to texas
and visit a fellow acoustic tuesday

in fact this first one comes from ds and
they say this
i'm quite partial to segal guitars
located in la petri quebec canada
robert godin is the mastermind behind
this company bringing his expertise to
all of the seagull models
siegel utilizes non-conventional tone
woods for unique full-bodied sound
i own a six-string mahogany model and a
12-string wild cherry and cedar model
a lot of guitar for the money and
fantastic quality i purchased my six
string when i was shopping for a martin
guitar
i actually preferred the playability and
sound of my mahogany six string
seagull over the martin's six string
mahogany model i know martin fans will
wish me dead
that is not true d please don't worry us
guitar geeks just want to see fellow

sands and for those of you who are not

recommending that we check out an
amazing luthier
in fact tom is a great individual tom
and i communicate quite frequently and
it brings me to the point of
it's so cool to meet fellow
guitar geeks it just opens up this
interesting avenue of communication that
i think if it weren't for the guitar may
not be there
which leads me to the next comment
brought to you by lafayette le
saint and this is more of a story than a
comment so let me go ahead and read and
it really does involve
the friendship and bonding that music
creates here it is
hey tony i know that you geek out about
guitars i'm a guitar geek too
but i also know that you're into bonding
as well and besides that the banjo is a
good friend of the guitar
here's a true story from my old friend
and mentor rick mckean
who has taught guitar and banjo he gave
me permission to share this story with
you
and our guitar geek community here's a
touching story
i used to teach banjo classes at the
glendale community center
two of my students were a guy named mark
and his dad well after several years of
group lessons
mark became a private student of mine
and took lessons at my home for several
more years
even after i had taught him everything i
knew he still wanted to come over and
jam
and talk about his gold mining hobby i
would draw images of scales chords and
key signatures on the whiteboard
and he would draw images of his gold
mining equipment we had many wonderful
evenings of music
jams and discussions when his dad died
he played his favorite banjo in the
lobby of the funeral home until it was
time for the funeral
then he slipped that banjo into his
dad's casket he always said that i gave
him and his dad such a great bond
through banjo music
what an awesome story and really it just
it goes to show and and
really highlight how incredible bonds
that are created through music
are i mean i can think of so many people
in my life that i've met
solely because of music and i feel
quite simply fulfilled and enriched
because those people are in my life so
huge thanks to
music and this guitar community for
creating that bond
time and time again pretty amazing stuff
and i also want to thank everyone who
left comments on that episode
i don't have time to feature them all
but holy smokes what awesome discussion
some great guitar manufacturers were
brought up
and i just i'm always amazed at how you
interact with this guitar geek community
and when i say you i mean all of you
uh such a great group of people and i
cannot thank you enough
now it's time for one of my favorite
parts of the show and that is acoustic
guitar news you can use
yes i'm trying to keep you on the
forefront of the happenings within the
acoustic guitar industry and very first
on my list today
is an artist that recently had an
accident and it's requiring you to send
her some get well wishes
sarah voss of dead horses was leaving a
gig or a rehearsal i can't remember
which
and she slipped on some ice and fell on
top of her guitar case
and the result was two cracked ribs and
a partially collapsed
lung so she's going to be out of
commission for some while so if you're
on the social medias if you're a dead
horses fan
please send her your best healing vibes
and good energy because she certainly
needs it we got to get her back and
writing those amazing songs
again next news item on my list involves
another artist named sarah
this time i'm talking about sarah ryan
who's an amazing visual
artist and she happens to use guitars as
her canvas while the guitars aren't made
of canvas she just simply
paints amazing designs on these guitars
so here's the story
she started out painting guitars for
creston electric guitars
adam from iris guitars which i featured
a couple episodes ago
caught wind of sarah's work and asked
her hey would you mind painting an
acoustic guitar to which she said no
multiple times
but adam finally convinced her to do
some of her paintings on iris acoustic
guitars and lo and behold they just
released a limited run of sarah ryan
painted iris guitars
they're absolutely gorgeous and to me
they conjure up this
imagery of old regals and old stellas
you know the kind that had
the really cool painted designs on the
front yeah they're that cool and i gotta
tell you
having her artwork on an iris guitar
it's like a match made in heaven
a couple episodes back i talked about
guitar makers you should watch for 2021
and i left guild guitars off the list
and i shouldn't have
because they just released two baritone
guitars that are absolutely mind-blowing
they sound
incredible you've got the bt 240e
and the bt 258e these guitars are
purely stunning and you have to listen
to them so let's go ahead and do that
[Music]
do
i just found this new guitar geek series
that you absolutely
must be aware of it's brought to us by
our friends at chicago music exchange
and it involves
nathaniel murphy now that name might
ring a bell because we featured
nathaniel before as an artist on the
show
and you also might have seen him on many
of the chicago music exchange demos
he's the type of player that plays every
style and he plays it
incredibly well well this new series is
called nathaniel murphy has questions
and he goes about posing questions to
experts in the field
and this most recent episode has him
asking questions about guitar setup
and we're going to look at a clip here
in a moment but what i love about the
series
is the conversational element of it
quite simply you're a fly on the wall
while nathaniel talks to the guitar
setup expert
and you get to learn a ton let's have a
look i've been taught
so many ways how to put on a string that
i i was just left confused by the whole
thing all right i've heard of nashville
not
let's clear it out right let's let's
clear it up all right so here's the part
you need to know about
okay so i like to start with the high e
string it literally does not matter
right um okay a lot of people tell you
you have to like alternate you know
start with the low one and then do the
middle string
yeah it's kind of an urban see this is
the thing i've been told
so many things that i should do the low
even the high i'm work
my way no it's not going to hurt your
guitar to do this
okay you're going to pull this tight
each string make sure it's in its little
saddle slot make sure it's
the ball is not like hanging out or
anything so we're good here
the final news item i have for you is
maybe less news and
more laughter inducing this is a cover
an acoustic guitar cover of the song
crazy train that i just found
it had me in hysterics because it
involves two bowls
and two acoustic guitars and two water
bottles
you'll see what i mean
[Music]
[Music]
and on that note yes pun intended i
think it's a great time to wrap up the
acoustic tuesday show
but let's take a quick sneak peek into
next week to see what i'll be chatting
to you about then
