Cover of The Incredible String Band's First Girl I Loved. Not quite sure how to pitch my voice in this one :) Beautiful song, though.

Very nice, incredibly calming. Are you using a looping pedal?

Your voice is so beautiful. Reminds me of a more mature Nick Drake.

@badgemanbrown1987 Thanks, this is a straight Open G tuning (DGDGBD). I started with the version transcribed by Happy Traum in the first String Band songbook and tried to work out an arrangement slightly closer to what I thought Robin was doing.

@harryjohnbrennan Thanks very much. I think that like me, you're a great admirer of Wizz Jones. I'm really glad to see that there are a lot more videos of him playing that have been posted over the last few months. I've always admired his style since my brother came home with his first album in the late 60s. I started out trying to copy Robin's version but there are probably some influences of Wizz creeping in there, plus a few of my own quirks ;o)

Great job! You really took this and ran with it. It replaces the ISB's sharpness (with the voices, the string attack and the hi-fi mic right on the guitars), and becomes like part of your soft voice. Thanks for posting this. By the way, is a lot of their stuff in open G?
