Nick Drake Guitar Lessons
Learn how to play the songs by Nick Drake note-for-note on guitar with The Nick Drake Guitar Lessons. Each lesson includes the playthru, video lesson, songsheet with chords and tab.
Nick Drake’s guitar style was absolutely unique and isn’t easy to replicate. This set covers all the altered tunings he used for the songs included here and goes into great detail breaking down the intricate picking patterns.
You may find that it doesn’t feel natural playing a lot of these songs. Nick had a style quite unlike any other guitarist. But everything you need is here to play these songs just like Nick did.
There are a good munber of strummed songs as well, such as Pink Moon and Northern Sky, which are a great place to start if you want to ease yourself in gently. At the other extreme are songs like Fruit Tree which will probably take a lot concentrated practice to nail down.
Click on any of the song titles to see a clip from the start of the lesson. (The free one you can download in its entirety.)
You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll also receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.
The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.
They will download as Zip files. If you don’t have a Zip program on your PC you’ll need to install one to open the file. .

Hey Joey,
Can you please do ‘Joey’ – Nick Drake?
I believe it’s one of his easier songs, but it’s oh so beautiful :)

Hi Jerry, I Can’t thank you enough for your work on these Nick Drake songs. I wish I could fund you personally to just work on Nick Drake tunes. I would pay big money for more in the future, these songs make life worthwhile!

Jerry says
It’s been requested but it’s only at number 1049 on the to-do list.
John G Roberts says
Come on its wonderful
Jerry says
I agree. Thing is the people who requested the 1048 songs ahead of it think their songs are wonderful too ;)
dan says
id third that! anyone looking to learn that theres a good demonstration on youtube and the guitar pro version on songsterr seems to be very accurate
John Bosquet-Morra says
Jerry, those 1048 people are clearly wrong. If they do not put Cello Song on the front of the line, then you must not sell them any more songs, again.
