GREAT tune, by the way. Though I still think "Cello Song" is the most beautiful thing that guy ever wrote.

Hmmm I find it tough to pick a favourite Nick Drake song. I like both Hazy Janes, Northern Sky, Day is Done, and Time of No Reply the best. Do you like John Martyn?

Not really up on him, actually - I like Nick Drake, but he's not really my normal fare.

You guys need to find something better to do than argue about scales and theory.
Like learn your scales and arpeggios, heh.
Just kidding.
The value of knowing this kind of stuff depends, of course, on the realm of music you work in.

Chilli,
i'm not a big fan of eric johnson but i'd bet that any succesful commercial guitarist does the same..well maybe not all night.
myself, not being a succesful commercial guitarist do not! every thing i know about guitar playing,which i guess a lot of people would say isn't much, i've learned from memorizing what the guy on the record was playing. any scales that i learned stemmed from that. maybe this is backwards but it's the way i learned and i can't reverse and correct it now. you can't teach an old dog new tricks! someone once asked my favorite guitarist, James Burton how often he practiced. his answer, "i can't find time to practice, i'm always playing somewhere".

Check out the song 'Solid Air' by John Martyn, written for and about Nick Drake after he died. Some great playing on it too, Danny Thompson on bass.

soooo right!! I read all these posts by questionable musicians who waste their life studying music but never take the time to enjoy it. you are either born with it or you might as well forget it! the once famous british musician Manfred Mann used to teach a music coarse in college. the first day of class he would put on a record and ask each student to clapp on the off beat. if they clapped on the downbeat he would kick them out! for those theoretical geniuses out there, the down beat is 1,2,3,4 and the off beat is "and"in between those! a quick test to see who has it and who don't!

light,
first of all, define "groove"! i think it is an overused term with no real meaning and is used by psuedo musicians who think sounding hip is more important than actual talent! it appears that your mind, like mine is made up and unchangeable on this subject. i will still say that you can't develop talent by practicing, your either born with it or you can't beg,steal or borrow it! even talented people have to practice but inspiration and conception comes to them inherently whereas people with no talent don't feel it

No they dont.Since the early 90's mediocroty has ruled.People need to get back to the fact that playing an instrument is an art.An art that should never be dumbed down for the sake of ease.
I'll take my CD/ALBUM collection over any of the shit getting airplay today,so yes,it is rocket surgery to make great music.
