Not a big fan of Shame or owt but I adore this track. Particularly the guitar riff and the sentiments

Can’t believe it will soon be fifty years since we lost Nick Drake, super talented but ultimately a very fragile individual. Played in various tunings and I’m convinced he rarely changed his guitar strings because he had a very dead string sound to his music, beautifully crafted, beautifully written and performed. Such a tragic loss at just twenty six.

An extremely difficult song to play guitar and sing to. Gave up many pink moons ago 🤣. Interesting chords

[Iron-awe]

Apparently when Nick toured he insisted on using just the one acoustic guitar and as his songs varied from one tuning to another this involved quite a bit of time retuning between certain songs. This in turn led to quite a bit of frustration in the audience and he used to get quite a bit of heckling at times which upset him as he was quite a sensitive soul. Strange, whenever I saw Neil Young live his acoustic set compromised of half a dozen different guitars on stands in a half circle shape around him, plus a banjo and a piano and pump organ either side of the stage, never missed a beat Neil and he had plenty of banter and stories to tell too which were always well received by the audience. It is an entertainment business after all.
