If I Needed You - Townes Van Zandt cover + April Come She Will - Simon & Garfunkel cover

Practicing a few new songs :slight_smile:

I hadn’t heard of Townes Van Zandt before, I was introduced to him by my guitar teacher, and wow am I blown away! This song is just so beautiful in its simplicity - this is me trying to capture some of its beauty. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Lovely rendition of a lovely song!
I recognized it from the first bar - Emmylou Harris performed that song with Don Williams years ago… my favorite of their collaborations!!!
I especially enjoyed the fingerpicking & your tasteful use of hammer-ons!!! Very well done!!!
Thoroughly enjoyable post!!! Thank you gor sharing!!!

Lovely all around (picking and singing)! TvZ is my favourite songwriter and this song is a particular favourite of mine. Are you going to learn some more of his songs?

I’ve heard this song before Abhishek, you did a great job of it, both playing and singing. Very nice. Great job on the solo too. Was this your own version/your own finger picking with the chords?

Thank you so much, its one of my favorite songs too :slight_smile: I plan to work on a cover of Pancho and lefty, maybe in the next week or two? Work keeps me busy :slight_smile:

I’m likely getting a cover out of “April Come She Will” by Paul Simon today!

Thank you so much for your kind words. The version was inspired by “George Clements” on Youtube (check him out, you won’t be disappointed). I changed a couple of chords and the interlude/solo was my own, yes :slight_smile:

Lovely guitar picked performance Abhishek, of a good song. Your vocal was strong too,

My gosh, after hearing you improvised the solo, I had to go back and listen/watch again. Just beautifully done sir. Amazing. Let us all know when your first album comes out (or where to get it if it already did)
